Any textbook I can find says the equation is instead :

x' = α*x - β*x*y
y' = δ*y - γ*x*y

(note the difference between lowercase gamma and y)

You're missing a minus sign according to your own equations, but also, I 
don't think you can pick U and V to be whatever you like. I think that 
they are supposed to be some equations in particular, but you didn't read 
properly.

You also can't say that Z(t) = 0 at the same time as Z(t+1) = ... when t 
is not being specified (what can this possibly mean other than "for any t" 
?)

Please first figure out what is "this".
