A nonsmooth two-sex population model.
This paper considers a two-dimensional logistic model to study populations with two genders. The growth behavior of a population is guided by two coupled ordinary differential equations given by a non-differentiable vector field whose parameters are the secondary sex ratio (the ratio of males to females at time of birth), inter-, intra- and outer-gender competitions, fertility and mortality rat...
متن کاملMating behavior, population growth, and the operational sex ratio: a periodic two-sex model approach.
We present a new approach to modeling two-sex populations, using periodic, nonlinear two-sex matrix models. The models project the population growth rate, the population structure, and any ratio of interest (e.g., operational sex ratio). The periodic formulation permits inclusion of highly seasonal behavioral events. A periodic product of the seasonal matrices describes annual population dynami...
متن کاملThe logistic, two-sex, age-structured population model.
In this paper, we introduce the logistic effect into the two-sex population model introduced by Hoppensteadt. We address the problem of existence and uniqueness of continuous and classical solutions. We first give sufficient conditions for a unique continuous solution to exist locally and also globally. Next, the existence of classical solutions is established under some mild assumptions on the...
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 کاملA generalized two-sex logistic model.
We provide a generalization of the logistic two-sex model with ephemeral pair-bonds and with stable couples without assuming any specific mathematical form for fertility, mortality and the mating function. In particular, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the fertility/mortality density-dependent ratio that ensures the existence of the logistic behaviour. Several differences a...
