Abstract

We consider a discrete non-autonomous semi-dynamical system generated by a family of continuous maps defined on a locally compact metric space. It is assumed that this family of maps uniformly converges to a continuous map. Such a non-autonomous system is called an asymptotically autonomous system. We extend the dynamical system to the metric one-point compactification of the phase space. This is done via the construction of an associated skew-product dynamical system. We prove, among other things, that the omega limit sets are invariant and invariantly connected. We apply our results to two populations models, the Ricker model with no Allee effect and Elaydi-Sacker model with the Allee effect, where it is assumed that the reproduction rate changes with time due to habitat fluctuation.
