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.
متن کاملOptimal timing of disease transmission in an age-structured population.
It is a common medical folk-practice for parents to encourage their children to contract certain infectious diseases while they are young. This folk-practice is controversial, in part, because it contradicts the long-term public health goal of minimizing disease incidence. We study an epidemiological model of infectious disease in an age-structured population where virulence is age-dependent an...
متن کاملAge-structured optimal control in population economics.
This paper brings both intertemporal and age-dependent features to a theory of population policy at the macro-level. A Lotka-type renewal model of population dynamics is combined with a Solow/Ramsey economy. We consider a social planner who maximizes an aggregate intertemporal utility function which depends on per capita consumption. As control policies we consider migration and saving rate (bo...
متن کاملOptimal control of an age-structured model of HIV infection
We investigate the optimal treatment strategies with an age-structured model of HIV infection. The age-structured model allows for variations in the virion production rate and the death rate of infected T cells as a function of age, which is the length of time since infection. We derive the optimal therapy protocols by formulating and analyzing an optimal control problem and establish the exist...
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...
