We present a discretization method for a generalized von Foerster-type equation in many spatial variables. Stability of finite difference schemes on regular meshes is studied. If characteristic curves are decreasing, there are forward difference quotients applied. Otherwise, the derivatives are replaced by backward difference quotients.
We consider a generalized 1-D von Foerster equation. We present two discretization methods for the initial value problem and study stability of finite difference schemes on regular meshes.
We prove the existence of solutions to a differential-functional system which describes a wide class of multi-component populations dependent on their past time and state densities and on their total size. Using two different types of the Hale operator, we incorporate in this model classical von Foerster-type equations as well as delays (past time dependence) and integrals (e.g. influence of a group of species).
We present the Rothe method for the McKendrick-von Foerster equation with initial and boundary conditions. This method is well known as an abstract Euler scheme in extensive literature, e.g. K. Rektorys, The Method of Discretization in Time and Partial Differential Equations, Reidel, Dordrecht, 1982. Various Banach spaces are exploited, the most popular being the space of bounded and continuous functions. We prove the boundedness of approximate solutions and stability of the Rothe method in and...
