We consider planar triangular maps xn+1 = f0(un) + f1(un)xn, un+1 = φ(un). These maps preserve the fibration of the plane given by F = {φ(u) = c, c ∈ Image(φ)}. We assume that there exists an invariant attracting fiber {u = u∗} for the dynamical system generated by φ and we study the limit dynamics of those points in the basin of attraction of this invariant fiber, assuming that either it contains a global attractor, or it is filled by fixed or 2-periodic points. We apply our results to several examples.
