Abstract.We investigate the global character of solutions of the rational system in the title with nonnegative parameters and with arbitrary positive initial conditions. In particular we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for all solutions of the system to be bounded. We also show that in a certain region of the parameters every solution of the system converges to a finite limit or to a period-two solution.
