To start with, you must use the proper syntax, and then set up a recursion.
You have not given initial values, so I arbitrarily set x[1] = 1 and y[1] =
0. Then
In[1]:=
x[n_] := y[n - 1] - a*x[n - 1]^2 - 1;
y[n_] := b + x[n - 1];
x[1] := 1;
y[1] := 0;
recursion limit (q.v.), usually equal to 256 by default. Bear in mind that
you are getting very complicated expressions as n grows larger, if a and b
remain in symbolic form, and the execution time may also be quite large.
Take, for example, n = 10:
In[2]:=
Timing[Collect[y[10], {a, b}]; ]
Out[2]=
{118.2 Second, Null}
I used Collect to obtain a neater result. Of course, I didn't display it.
