Numerical dynamics of integrodifference equations: Periodic solutions and invariant manifolds in $C^\alpha(\Omega)$

Abstract

Integrodifference equations are versatile models in theoretical ecology for the spatial dispersal of species evolving in non-overlapping generations. The dynamics of these infinite-dimensional discrete dynamical systems is often illustrated using computational simulations. This paper studies the effect of Nystr\"om discretization to the local dynamics of periodic integrodifference equations with H\"older continuous functions over a compact domain as state space. We prove persistence and convergence for hyperbolic periodic solutions and their associated stable and unstable manifolds respecting the convergence order of the quadrature/cubature method.
