Abstract

Within the context of the dynamics of populations described by first order difference equations a datailed 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.
