We mainly discuss the boundedness and persistence, existence of fixed point, and uniqueness of positive fixed point, local and global behavior of positive fixed point and rate of convergence of every positive solution of the system under discussion. It will be shown that the system under discussion exhibits some special dynamics such as same mathematical condition for existence of fixed point and its global stability. Finally, some numerical examples are provided for verification of theoretical results. http://www.iaees.org/publications/journals/ces/articles/2020-10(2)/stability-analysis-of-a-rational-difference-equations.pdf system of rational difference equations of order two boundedness and persistence existence of fixed point linearized stability global stability analysis rate of convergence
