The existence of the unique profi…t maximizing output level is proved. The discrete model is then constructed with gradient adjustment. It is shown that the steady state is locally asymptotically stable if the speed of adjustment is small enough and it goes to chaos through period-doubling cascade as the speed becomes larger. The non-negativity condition that prevents time trajectories from being negative is derived. The discrete model is converted into the continuous model augmented with time delay and inertia. It is then demonstrated that stability can be switched to instability and complex dynamics emerges as the length of the delay increases and that instability can be switched to stability as the inertia coefficient becomes larger. Therefore the delay has the destabilizing effect while the inertia has the stabilizing effect.}, title = {Discrete and Continuous Dynamics in Nonlinear Monopolies}, volume = {210}, year = {2013} }
