Quadratic stochastic operators can exhibit a wide variety of asymptotic behaviours andthese have been introduced and studied recently in the l1 space. It turns out that inprinciple most of the results can be carried over to the L1 space. However, due to topologicalproperties of this space one has to restrict in some situations to kernel quadratic stochasticoperators. In this article we study the uniform and strong asymptotic stability of quadratic stochastic operators acting on the L1 space in terms of convergence of the associated (linear)nonhomogeneous Markov chains.
