Dynamic Programming Equations

Existing results on the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to two dynamic programming equations involving non-negative matrices are reviewed and strengthened in certain directions. The results are then applied to strategies for harvesting of a small population so as to optimise its survival potential in a limited environment.
