This paper considers homogeneous order preserving continuous maps on the normal cone of an ordered normed vector space. It is shown that certain operators of that kind which are not necessarily compact themselves but have a compact power have a positive eigenvector that is associated with the cone spectral radius. We also derive conditions for the existence of homogeneous order preserving eigenfunctionals. Our results are illustrated in a model for spatially distributed two-sex populations.In the following, X, Y and Z are ordered normed vector spaces with cones X + , Y + and Z + respectively,Since we do not consider maps that are homogeneous in other ways, we will simply call them homogeneous maps. If follows from the definition that B0 = 0.Homogeneous maps are not Frechet differentiable at 0 unless B(x + y) = Bx + By for all x, y ∈ X + . For the following holds.
