Stability for one-dimensional discrete dynamical systems revisited (Q2284899)

The authors present a new method to study the stability of one-dimensional discrete-time models. This is based on studying the graph of a certain family of functions. This method is closely related to exponent analysis, which the authors introduced to study the global stability of certain intricate convex combinations of maps. As a result, they show that the new strategy presented here complements and extends some existing conditions for the global stability. In particular, a global stability condition improving the condition of negative Schwarzian derivative is provided. Besides, the relation between this new method and the enveloping technique is also studied. Furthermore, in the fourth section of the paper they illustrate the applicability of their results. In [\textit{D. Franco} et al., Electron. J. Qual. Theory Differ. Equ. 2018, Paper No. 101, 22 p. (2018; Zbl 1424.39038)], sharp global stability results were obtained for several relevant models in discrete-time population dynamics via the exponent analysis technique.
