Abstract: We consider discrete time linear population models of the form n(t+1)=An(t) where A is a population projection matrix or integral projection operator, and n(t) represents a structured population at time t. It is well known that the asymptotic growth or decay rate of n(t) is determined by the leading eigenvalue of A.
