Asymptotic 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.

This version is made available in accordance with publisher policies. Please cite only the published version using the reference above. Abstract We consider a nonlinear discrete-time population model for the dynamics of an age-structured species. This model has the form of a Lure feedback system (well-known in control theory) and is a particular case of the system studied by Townley et al. in [...
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...
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 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...
