Permanence of structured population models governed by ODEs and the basic reproduction number

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the dynamics of a general nonlinear structured population model governed by ordinary differential equations and show that, under a certain mild condition, the instability of the population free equilibrium point implies that the structured population survives in the sense of permanence.

Asymptotic dynamics of age-structured host–parasitoid models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the asymptotic dynamics of a host-parasitoid model and modeled the dynamics of the host and the parasitoid population by age-structured McKendrick-von Foerster equation and a delay-differential equation, respectively.

A discrete-time mathematical model of stage-structured mosquito populations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a system of difference equations to model the population of the mosquito, which consists of four distinct metamorphic stages: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.

A numerical study on the estimation of the stable size distribution for a cell population balance model

TL;DR: In this article, a second order numerical method based on the integration along the characteristic curves over the natural grid is proposed to estimate the stable size distribution for a size-structured balance model with an asymmetric division rate.
