Abstract

This dissertation focuses on non-autonomous difference equations. Results are proven for non-autonomous n-dimensional versions of commonly used maps, such as Ricker's map, Pielou's map, and more. Chapter I is about the dynamics a generalized Beverton Holt equation in 3-dimensions, and its non-autonomous analogue. Chapter I also includes a result for general 3-dimensional systems. Chapter II is about the convergence of non-autonomous difference equations.
