An Explicit Extrapolated Box Scheme for the Gurtin - Maccamy Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
|An explicit extrapolated box method is considered for a nonlinear partial integrodif-ferential equation, the Gurtin-MacCamy equation, subject to a nonlocal boundary condition. This problem describes the evolution in time of the age structure of a population. The consistency, stability and convergence properties of the method are studied, and its second order accuracy is demonstrated both analytically and numerically.

Stability Analysis of the Gurtin-MacCamy Model
In this talk we propose a numerical scheme to investigate the stability of steady states of the nonlinear Gurtin–MacCamy system which is a basic model in population dynamics. In fact the analysis of stability is usually performed by the study of transcendental characteristic equations that are too difficult to approach by analytical methods. The method is based on the discretization of the infi...
متن کاملLimit cycles in a chemostat model for a single species with age structure.
We model an age-structured population feeding on an abiotic resource by combining the Gurtin-MacCamy [Math. Biosci. 43 (1979) 199] approach with a standard chemostat model. Limit cycles arise by Hopf bifurcations at low values of the chemostat dilution rate, even for simple maternity functions for which the original Gurtin-MacCamy model has no oscillatory solutions. We find the exact location i...
متن کاملGlobal Hopf Bifurcation Analysis of a Nicholson’s Blowflies Equation of Neutral Type
We investigate Hopf bifurcations in a delayed Nicholson’s blowflies equation of neutral type, derived from the Gurtin–MacCamy model. A key parameter that determines the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived. Global extension of local Hopf branches is established by combining a global Hopf bifurcation theorem with a Bendixson criteri...
متن کاملBifurcations of Equilibria of a Non-linear Age Structured Model
A. In [6], M. E. Gurtin and R. C. MacCamy investigated a non-linear agestructured population dynamical model, which served as one of the basic non-linear population dynamical models in the last three decades. They described a characteristic equation but they did not use it to discuss stability of equilibria of the system in certain special cases. In a recent paper [4] M. Farkas deduced a...
