Discrete-time dynamics of structured populations and homogeneous order-preserving operators /

A fundamental question in the theory of discrete and continuous-time population models concerns the conditions for the extinction or persistence of populations, a question that is addressed mathematically by persistence theory. For some time, it has been recognized that if the dynamics of a structur...
