Stochastic and deterministic models for age-structured populations with genetically variable traits
Understanding how stochastic and non-linear deterministic processes interact is a major challenge in population dynamics theory. After a short review, we introduce a stochastic individual-centered particle model to describe the evolution in continuous time of a population with (continuous) age and trait structures. The individuals reproduce asexually, age, interact and die. The ’trait’ is an in...
متن کاملModels of epidemics and endemicity in genetically variable host populations.
A discrete time genetics model is developed for populations that are undergoing selection due to infectious disease. It is assumed that the generation time of the host and infectious agent are not-synchronous and that only the host population is evolving. Two classes of epidemic processes are considered. The first class is for infectious agents that confer immunity following infection, while th...
متن کاملComparative statics and stochastic dynamics of age-structured populations.
Arguments from the comparative statics of populations with fixed vital rates are of limited use in studying age-structured populations subject to stochastically varying vital rates. In an age-structured population that experiences a sequence of independently and identically distributed Leslie matrices, the expectation of the Malthusian parameters of the Leslie matrices has no exact interpretati...
متن کاملSpatial models: stochastic and deterministic
Theoretical studies of biological populations via analysis and/or simulation of deterministic and stochastic systems sometimes end up drawing conflicting conclusions. Papers purporting to investigate the same dynamics, albeit through different methods, often cannot agree on essential properties of the system being modeled. This problem often arises when trying to compare results that were obtai...
متن کاملA Note on the Convergence of the Homotopy Analysis Method for Nonlinear Age-Structured Population Models
In this paper, a theorem is proved which presents the series solution obtained from the homotopy analysis method is convergent to the exact solution of nonlinear age-structured population models.
