On Population Models with Delays and Dependence on Past Values
Benito Chen-Charpentier
Abstract:The current values of many populations depend on the past values of the population. In many cases, this dependence is caused by the time certain processes take. This dependence on the past can be introduced into mathematical models by adding delays. For example, the growth rate of a population depends on the population τ time units ago, where τ is the maturation time. For an epidemic, there is a time τ between the contact of an infected individual and a susceptible one, and the time the susceptible individual … Show more
