Dynamics of an Age-structured Metapopulation Model
We introduce a metapopulation model that includes both landscape changes (patch destruction and recreation) and age-dependent metapopulation dynamics. A threshold quantity is derived and related to the existence of an ecologically nontrivial equilibrium, to the stability of the speciesfree equilibrium, and to weak and strong persistence of the species. We provide examples to illustrate how age-...
متن کاملGenerating a Dynamic Synthetic Population – Using an Age-Structured Two-Sex Model for Household Dynamics
Generating a reliable computer-simulated synthetic population is necessary for knowledge processing and decision-making analysis in agent-based systems in order to measure, interpret and describe each target area and the human activity patterns within it. In this paper, both synthetic reconstruction (SR) and combinatorial optimisation (CO) techniques are discussed for generating a reliable synt...

متن کاملIdentifiability problem for recovering the mortality rate in an age-structured population dynamics model
In this article is studied the identifiability of the age-dependent mortality rate of the Von Foerster-Mc Kendrickmodel, from the observation of a given age group of the population. In the case where there is no renewal for the population, translated by an additional homogeneous boundary condition to the Von Foerster equation, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the initial density ...
متن کاملSenescence 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...
