The authors consider the rational difference equation \[ x_n = (ax_{n-1} - bx_{n-2})/(c+x_{n-2}) \] with \(a\), \(b\), \(c>0\). The following subjects are addressed: local asymptotic stability of the two equilibria (stability by the first approximation); invariant intervals (``manifolds''); global attractivity of the equilibria.
