Asymptotic behavior of a delay predator-prey system with stage structure and variable coefficients.
A simple model of phenotypic evolution is introduced and analysed in a space of population states. The expected values of the population states generate a discrete dynamical system. The asymptotic behaviour of the system is studied with the use of classical tools of dynamical systems. The number, location and stability of fixed points of the system depend on parameters of a fitness function and the parameters of the evolutionary process itself. The influence of evolutionary process parameters on...
Asymptotic convergence theorems for semigroups of nonnegative operators on a Banach lattice, on C(X) and on (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) are proved. The general results are applied to a class of semigroups generated by some differential equations.
We present a robust method which translates information on the speed of coming down from infinity of a genealogical tree into sampling formulae for the underlying population. We apply these results to population dynamics where the genealogy is given by a -coalescent. This allows us to derive an exact formula for the asymptotic behavior of the site and allele frequency spectrum and the number of segregating sites, as the sample size tends to . Some of our results hold in the case of a general -coalescent...
We construct a stochastic model of bacteriophage parasitism of a host bacteria that accounts for demographic stochasticity of host and parasite and allows for multiple bacteriophage adsorption to host. We analyze the associated deterministic model, identifying the basic reproductive number for phage proliferation, showing that host and phage persist when it exceeds unity, and establishing that the distribution of adsorbed phage on a host is binomial with slowly evolving mean. Not surprisingly,...
In this work, we introduce a new software created to study hematopoiesis at the cell population level with the individually based approach. It can be used as an interface between theoretical works on population dynamics and experimental observations. We show that this software can be useful to study some features of normal hematopoiesis as well as some blood diseases such as myelogenous leukemia. It is also possible to simulate cell communication and the formation of cell colonies in the bone marrow. ...
A class of degree four differential systems that have an invariant conic , , is examined. We show the coexistence of small amplitude limit cycles, large amplitude limit cycles, and invariant algebraic curves under perturbations of the coefficients of the systems.
We study the growth rate of a cell population that follows an age-structured PDE with time-periodic coefficients. Our motivation comes from the comparison between experimental tumor growth curves in mice endowed with intact or disrupted circadian clocks, known to exert their influence on the cell division cycle. We compare the growth rate of the model controlled by a time-periodic control on its coefficients with the growth rate of stationary models of the same nature, but with averaged coefficients....
