```{math}
:label: solow_lom2
k_{t+1} = s z k_t^{\alpha} + (1 - \delta) k_t
k_{t+1} = s A k_t^{\alpha} + (1 - \delta) k_t
```

Here $k$ is the per capita capital stock and $s, z, \alpha, \delta$ are positive
parameters with $0 < \alpha, \delta < 1$.
Here $k=K/L$ is the per capita capital stock, $s$ is the saving rate, $A$ is the total factor productivity, $\alpha$ is the capital share, and $\delta$ is the depreciation rate.

All these parameter are positive and $0 < \alpha, \delta < 1$.

If you try to iterate like we did in {eq}`sdslinmodpath`, you will find that
the algebra gets messy quickly.
