A quasilinear hierarchical size-structured model: well-posedness and approximation

AS Ackleh, K Deng, S Hu - Applied Mathematics and Optimization, 2005 - Springer
A finite difference approximation to a hierarchical size-structured model with nonlinear
growth, mortality and reproduction rates is developed. Existence-uniqueness of the weak …

Global dynamics of discrete dynamical systems and difference equations

S Elaydi - Difference Equations, Discrete Dynamical Systems and …, 2019 - Springer
We present a survey of new approaches to the investigation of the global dynamics of
discrete dynamical systems or autonomous difference equations. To achieve our objectives …

Measure-valued solutions for a hierarchically size-structured population

AS Ackleh, K Ito - Journal of Differential Equations, 2005 - Elsevier
We present a hierarchically size-structured population model with growth, mortality and
reproduction rates which depend on a function of the population density (environment). We …

Hierarchical competition models with the Allee effect III: multispecies

S Elaydi, E Kwessi, G Livadiotis - Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT A general notion of the Allee effect for higher dimensional triangular maps is
proposed. A global dynamics theory is established. The theory is applied to multi-species …

Hierarchical competition models with Allee effects

L Assas, S Elaydi, E Kwessi, G Livadiotis… - Journal of Biological …, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
We consider a two-species hierarchical competition model with a strong Allee effect. The
Allee effect is assumed to be caused by predator saturation. Moreover, we assume that there …

A high order WENO scheme for a hierarchical size-structured population model

J Shen, CW Shu, M Zhang - Journal of Scientific Computing, 2007 - Springer
In this paper we develop a high order explicit finite difference weighted essentially non-
oscillatory (WENO) scheme for solving a hierarchical size-structured population model with …

Basic theory for a class of models of hierarchically structured population dynamics with distributed states in the recruitment

À Calsina, J Saldana - … Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2006 - World Scientific
In this paper we present a proof of existence and uniqueness of solution for a class of PDE
models of size structured populations with distributed state-at-birth and having nonlinearities …

High resolution schemes for a hierarchical size-structured model

J Shen, CW Shu, M Zhang - SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2007 - SIAM
In this paper we discuss two explicit finite difference schemes, namely a first order upwind
scheme and a second order high resolution scheme, for solving a hierarchical size …

[PDF][PDF] Hierarchical competition in discrete time models with dispersal

J Best, C Castillo-Chavez, AA Yakubu - Fields Inst. Commun, 2003 - researchgate.net
The dynamics of hierarchical competitive metapopulation models are studied where local
population dynamics are topologically conjugate to those of Ricker's or Verhulst's models …

Hierarchical competition models with the Allee effect II: the case of immigration

L Assas, B Dennis, S Elaydi, E Kwessi… - Journal of Biological …, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
This is part II of an earlier paper that dealt with hierarchical models with the Allee effect but
with no immigration. In this paper, we greatly simplify the proofs in part I and provide a proof …
