RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 Contributions to mathematical analysis of non-linear models with applications in population dynamics A1 Lois Prados, Cristina K1 compression-expansion fixed point theorems K1 set contractions; star-convex sets K1 non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra systems K1 threshold-based control rules K1 piecewise-smooth difference equations K1 discrete-time population models K1 global stability K1 border-collision bifurcations AB The PhD thesis deals with two research lines, both within the framework ofmathematical analysis of non-linear models. The main differences appear in the type of equations we consider andthe approach used. On the one hand, we give some extensions of fixed point results that improve the localization ofsolutions to boundary or initial value problems and we contribute to the application of fixed point theory topopulation models. On the other hand, our main aim is to describe the asymptotic dynamics and bifurcations ofsome discrete-time one-dimensional dynamical systems. We follow a more applied-oriented approach, dealing withsome population models arising in fisheries management or blood cell production.
