The aim of this paper is to study the dynamical behavior of positive solutions for a system of rational difference equations of the following form:un+1=αun-1/β+γvn-2p,vn+1=α1vn-1/β1+γ1un-2p,n=0,1,…, where the parametersα,β,γ,α1,β1,γ1,pand the initial valuesu-i,v-ifori=0,1,2are positive real numbers.
