Senescence and antibiotic resistance in an age-structured population model.
Different theories have been proposed to understand the growing problem of antibiotic resistance of microbial populations. Here we investigate a model that is based on the hypothesis that senescence is a possible explanation for the existence of so-called persister cells which are resistant to antibiotic treatment. We study a chemostat model with a microbial population which is age-structured a...
متن کاملMultiple Equilibria in an Age-Structured Two-Sex Population Model
The complexity of age-structured two-sex population models has inhibited analysis of the uniqueness or stability of persistent distributions (i.e., equilibria in which the population grows exponentially with a fixed proportion in each age class). To offer some insight, this paper examines a special case in which couples dissolve only through the death of a spouse, and widows never remarry. Addi...
متن کاملNonlinear Boundary Conditions Derived by Singular Pertubation in Age Structured Population Dynamics Model
In this article, we derive Ricker’s [22, 23] type nonlinear boundary condition for an age structured population dynamic model by using a singular perturbation. The question addressed in this paper is the convergence of the singularly perturbed system. We first obtain a finite time convergence for a fixed initial distribution. Then we focus on the convergence uniformly of the singularly perturbe...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behavior of an Age-structured Population Model with Diffusion
A reaction-diffusion system with stage-structure is studied. We provide well-posedness of the model and prove that time-dependent solutions evolve either towards a positive equilibrium or to the trivial one. Under suitable conditions, a branch of positive equilibrium is shown to exist.
متن کاملIntense selection in an age-structured population.
In a population with overlapping generations, intense selection can perturb the age distribution and thus affect the rate of increase of an advantageous allele. We found that the age-specific nature of intense selection, such as that generated by many diseases, can affect the outcome of selection on loci, such as those conferring disease resistance. We also found that the temporal dynamics of s...
