Rate of Convergence to Equilibria of the Lotka-Sharpe-McKendrick Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the Lotka-Sharpe-McKendrick demographic model the rate of convergence to the persistent age distribution is estimated in terms of the age-dependent mortality and fertility. In an abstract setting the problems amounts to estimating the second largest spectral bound of a linear operator. The convergence rate is indeed characterized as the difference between the first and second spectral bounds and related estimation results are given.

The Efficiency of Harvested Factor; Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey Model
Scientists are interested in find out “how to use living resources without damaging the ecosystem at the same time?” from nineteen century because the living resources are limited. Thus, the harvested rate is used as the control parameters. Moreover, the study of harvested population dynamics is more realistic. In the present paper, some predator-prey models in which two ecologically inte...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Model of Age and Size-structured Populations with Applications to Cell Cycles
The Sharpe–Lotka–McKendrick (or von Foerster) equations for an age-structured population, with a nonlinear term to represent overcrowding or competition for resources, are considered. The model is extended to include a growth term, allowing the population to be structured by size or weight rather than age, and a general solution is presented. Various examples are then considered, including the ...

The food chain refers to a natural system by which energy is transmitted from one organism to another. In fact, a food chain consists of producers, consumers and decomposition. Presence of complex food web increase the stability of the ecosystem. Classical food chain theory arises from Lotka-Volterra model. In the present paper, the dynamics behavior of three level food chain is studied. A syst...

I will discuss a delay differential equation model for the interaction between two species the adult members of which are in competition. The competitive effects are of the Lotka Volterra kind, and in the absence of competition it is assumed that each species evolves according to the predictions of a simple age-structured model which reduces to a single equation for the total adult population. ...
