SDE in Random Population Growth

چکیده
In this paper we extend the recent work of C.A. Braumann [1] to the case of stochastic differential equation with random coefficients. Furthermore, the relationship of the Itô-Stratonovich stochastic calculus to studies of random population growth is also explained.

Bayesian analysis of growth curves using mixed models defined by stochastic differential equations.
Growth curve data consist of repeated measurements of a continuous growth process over time in a population of individuals. These data are classically analyzed by nonlinear mixed models. However, the standard growth functions used in this context prescribe monotone increasing growth and can fail to model unexpected changes in growth rates. We propose to model these variations using stochastic d...
متن کاملItô versus Stratonovich calculus in random population growth.
The context is the general stochastic differential equation (SDE) model dN/dt=N(g(N)+sigmaepsilon(t)) for population growth in a randomly fluctuating environment. Here, N=N(t) is the population size at time t, g(N) is the 'average' per capita growth rate (we work with a general almost arbitrary function g), and sigmaepsilon(t) is the effect of environmental fluctuations (sigma>0, epsilon(t) sta...
متن کاملStochastic averaging for SDEs with Hopf Drift and polynomial diffusion coefficients
It is known that a stochastic differential equation (SDE) induces two probabilistic objects, namely a difusion process and a stochastic flow. While the diffusion process is determined by the innitesimal mean and variance given by the coefficients of the SDE, this is not the case for the stochastic flow induced by the SDE. In order to characterize the stochastic flow uniquely the innitesimal cov...
متن کاملThe mediating role of the Green Information Technology (GIT) Acceptance in the relationship between Green University and Sustainable Development of the Environment
Because of the rising energy prices and the spread of environmental crises; today, societies need to purposive education for Sustainable Development of the Environment (SDE). Therefore, it seems that universities, as the organizations for teaching, are suitable to be chosen as the starting point for environmental protection. Hence Green Universities (GU) can play an important role in the SDE th...
متن کاملPopulation Growth in a Random Environment: Which Stochastic Calculus?
Let N = N(t) be the size (number of individuals, density, biomass) of a population (of animals, plants, bacteria, cells) at time t ≥ 0 and assume the initial population size N(0) = N0 > 0 is known. A general density dependent growth model assumes that the per capita growth rate (abbrev. growth rate) has the form 1 N dN dt = f(N), where f(·) : (0,+∞) 7→ (−∞,+∞) is a continuously differentiable f...
