We consider the following system of difference equations: where , , , , are positive constants and are initial conditions. This system has interesting dynamics and it can have up to seven equilibrium points as well as a singular point at , which always possesses a basin of attraction. We characterize the basins of attractions of all equilibrium points as well as the singular point at and thus describe the global dynamics of this system. Since the singular point at always possesses a basin of attraction this system exhibits Allee’s effect.

By using the KAM theory, we investigate the stability of the equilibrium solution of a certain difference equation. We also use the symmetries to find effectively the periodic solutions with feasible periods. The specific feature of this difference equation is the fact that we were not able to use the invariant to prove stability or to find feasible periods of the solutions.

We find the asymptotic approximations of the stable and unstable manifolds of the saddle equilibrium solutions of the following difference equation xn+1 = ax 3 + bx 3 1 + cxn + dxn 1;n = 0; 1;::: where the parameters a;b;c and d are positive numbers and the initial conditions x 1 and x0 are arbitrary numbers. These manifolds determine completely the global dynamics of this equation.
