    The authors consider the non-autonomous equation \(x_{n+1} = 1/(B_n x_n+x_{n+1})\), for \(n \geq 0\) and positive initial conditions \(x_0\) and \(x_1\). Here \(B_n\) is a two periodic sequence. They show that the unique prime two periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable. This result continues some previous studies given by Stević, Kulenović and Ladas for \(B_n\) a constant sequence.
