On asynchronous iterations in partially ordered spaces

We extend the idea of asynchronous iterations to self-mappings of product spaces with infinitely many components. In addition to giving a rather general convergence theorem we study in some detail the case of isotone and isotonically decomposable mappings in partially ordered spaces. In particular, we obtain relationships between asynchronous iterations and the total step method and results on enclosures for fixed points. They appear to be new, even for mappings defined on a product space with only finitely many components.
