Mortality, fertility, and persistent income inequality by Sarkar, Jayanta / Southern Economic Journal Consider the nonlinear discrete-time system described by a set of first-order difference equations of the form x(t + 1) = f(x(t), u(t)), y(t) = g(x(t), u(t)), (1) where the entries of f and g are meromorphic functions, which we think of as elements of the quotient field of the ring of analytic functions, and x(t) [member of] [R.
