## The discrete dynamics of monotonically decomposable maps.(English)Zbl 1118.65057

J. Math. Biol. 53, No. 4, 747-758 (2006); erratum ibid. 57, No. 2, 309-310 (2008).
Summary: We extend results of J.-L. Gouzé and K. P. Hadeler [Nonlinear World 1, 23–34 (1994; Zbl 0803.65076)] concerning the dynamics generated by a map on an ordered metric space that can be decomposed into increasing and decreasing parts. Our main results provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a globally asymptotically stable fixed point for the map. Applications to discrete-time, stage-structured population models are given.
