On Asymptotics of a Population Model with Random Mating
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with a model for an age-sex structured population consisting of male, single and fertilized female subclasses taking into account a random coupling of sexes (for a period of mating only) and females' pregnancy. For certain forms of the demographic rates there are presented separable solutions, and the asymptotic behaviour of the general solution is demonstrated.

Asymptotics for the infinite time ruin probability of a dependent risk model with a constant interest rate and dominatedly varying-tailed claim sizes
This paper mainly considers a nonstandard risk model with a constant interest rate, where both the claim sizes and the inter-arrival times follow some certain dependence structures. When the claim sizes are dominatedly varying-tailed, asymptotics for the infinite time ruin probability of the above dependent risk model have been given.
متن کاملAsymptotic Cost of Cutting Down Random Free Trees
In this work, we calculate the limit distribution of the total cost incurred by splitting a tree selected at random from the set of all finite free trees. This total cost is considered to be an additive functional induced by a toll equal to the square of the size of tree. The main tools used are the recent results connecting the asymptotics of generating functions with the asymptotics of...
متن کاملEffective population size under random mating with a finite number of matings.
Random mating is the null model central to population genetics. One assumption behind random mating is that individuals mate an infinite number of times. This is obviously unrealistic. Here we show that when each female mates a finite number of times, the effective size of the population is substantially decreased.

The effect of artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET) to bull dams (BD), and sexed semen (SS) to cow dams (CD) with and without controlling inbreeding were studied using stochastic simulation. Three levels of embryo transfer (no ET, ET on all BD, and ET on 20% of BD), five levels of sexed semen (no SS: control, SS-X on all CD, SS-X on 20% CD, SS-Y on all CD, and SS-Y on 20% CD), thre...
متن کاملNon-random mating and information theory.
In this work, mate choice is modeled by means of the abstract concept of mutual mating propensity. This only assumes that different types of couples can have different mating success. The model is adequate for any population where mating occurs among distinct types. There is no extra assumption about particular mating scheme or preference model. The concept of mutual mating propensity permits t...
