There may be no built in function that does what you want, but solving this sort of problem is simple if you have any experience with numerical methods in general. I would try fixed point iteration on the set of equations written in vector form. Mathematica is a convenient platform to set that up and even has recursion and fixed point iteration type commands built in.
