This paper is devoted to study the null controllability properties of a nonlinear age and two-sex population dynamics structured model without spatial structure. Here, the nonlinearity and the couplage are at the birth level. In this work, we consider two cases of null controllability problem. The first problem is related to the extinction of male and female subpopulation density. The second case concerns the null controllability of male or female subpopulation individuals. In both cases, if
A
is the maximal age, a time interval of duration
A
after the extinction of males or females, one must get the total extinction of the population. Our method uses first an observability inequality related to the adjoint of an auxiliary system, a null controllability of the linear auxiliary system, and after Kakutani’s fixed-point theorem.
In this paper, we study the mathematical analysis of a nonlinear age-dependent predator–prey system with diffusion in a bounded domain with a non-standard functional response. Using the fixed point theorem, we first show a global existence result for the problem with spatial variable. Other results of existence concerning the spatial homogeneous problem and the stationary system are discussed. At last, numerical simulations are performed by using finite difference method to validate the results.
