Differential Equations And Population Dynamics I

Differential Equations and Population Dynamics I

This book presents the basic theoretical concepts of dynamical systems with applications in population dynamics. Existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions, global attractors, bifurcations, center manifold and normal form theories are discussed with cutting-edge applications, including a Holling's predator-prey model with handling and searching predators and projecting the epidemic forward with varying level of public health interventions for COVID-19. As an interdisciplinary text, this book aims at bridging the gap between mathematics, biology and medicine by integrating relevant concepts from these subject areas, making it self-sufficient for the reader. It will be a valuable resource to graduate and advance undergraduate students for interdisciplinary research in the area of mathematics and population dynamics.

Differential Equations and Applications in Ecology, Epidemics, and Population Problems

Differential Equations and Applications in Ecology, Epidemics, and Population Problems is composed of papers and abstracts presented at the 1981 research conference on Differential Equations and Applications to Ecology, Epidemics, and Population Problems held at Harvey Mudd College. The reported researches consist of mathematics that is either a direct outgrowth from questions in population biology and biomathematics, or applicable to such questions. The content of this volume are collected in four groups. The first group addresses aspects of population dynamics that involve the interaction between spatial and temporal effects. The second group covers other questions in population dynamics and some other areas of biomathematics. The third group deals with topics in differential and functional differential equations that are continuing to find important applications in mathematical biology. The last group comprises of work on various aspects of differential equations and dynamical systems, not essentially motivated by biological applications. This book is valuable to students and researchers in theoretical biology and biomathematics, as well as to those interested in modern applications of differential equations.
