Abstract

Within the context of the dynamics of populations described by first order difference equations detailed study of the Gompertz growth model is performed. This is mainly achieved by proving several theorems for a class of difference equations generalizing the Gompertz equation. Some interesting features of the discrete Gompertz model, not exhibited by other well known growth models, are finally pointed out.
