The Basic Approach to Age-Structured Population Dynamics Models, Methods and Numerics

This book provides an introduction to age-structured population modeling which emphasises the connection between mathematical theory and underlying biological assumptions. Through the rigorous development of the linear theory and the nonlinear theory alongside numerics, the authors explore classical...
