Abstract

Let (M,d) be a finite-dimensional complete metric space, and {Tn} a sequence of uniformly convergent operators on M. We study the non-autonomous discrete dynamical system xn+1=Tnxn and the globally asymptotic stability of the inhomogeneous iterates of {Tn}. Then we apply the results to investigate the stability of equilibrium of T when it satisfies certain type of sublinear conditions with respect to the partial order defined by a closed convex cone. The examples of application to nonlinear difference equations are also given.
