Abstract

We obtain sharp conditions distinguishing extinction from persistence and provide sufficient conditions for global stability of a positive fixed point for a class of discrete time dynamical systems on the positive cone of an ordered Banach space generated by a map which is, roughly speaking, a nonlinear, rank one perturbation of a linear contraction. Such maps were considered by Rebarber, Tenhumberg, and Towney (Theor. Pop. Biol. 81, 2012) as abstractions of a restricted class of density dependent integral population projection models modeling plant population dynamics. Significant improvements of their results are provided.
