Description
Summary:The cyclic system of second-order difference equations \begin{equation*} \Delta(p_i(n)|\Delta x_i(n)|^{\alpha_i-1}\Delta x_i(n)) = q_i(n)|x_{i+1}(n+1)|^{\beta_i-1}x_{i+1}(n+1), \end{equation*} for $i=\overline{1,N}$ where $x_{N+1}=x_1,$ is analysed in the framework of discrete regular variation. Under the assumption that $\alpha_i$ and $\beta_i$ are positive constants such that $\alpha_1\alpha_2\cdots\alpha_N>\beta_1\beta_2\cdots\beta_N$ and $p_i$ and $q_i$ are regularly varying sequences it is shown that the situation in which this system possesses regularly varying intermediate solutions can be completely characterized. Besides, precise information can be acquired about the asymptotic behavior at infinity of these solutions.
