Abstract: The dynamics of competitive maps and semiflows defined on the product of two cones in respective Banach spaces is studied. It is shown that exactly one of three outcomes is possible for two viable competitors. Either one or the other population becomes extinct while the surviving population approaches a steady state, or there exists a positive steady state representing the coexistence of both populations.
