Through the rigorous development of the linear theory and the nonlinear theory alongside numerics, the authors explore classical equations that describe the dynamics of certain ecological systems. Modeling aspects are discussed to show how relevant problems in the fields of demography, ecology, and epidemiology can be formulated and treated within the theory. In particular, the book presents extensions of age-structured modelling to the spread of diseases and epidemics while also addressing the issue of regularity of solutions, the asymptotic behaviour of solutions, and numerical approximation. With sections on transmission models, non-autonomous models and global dynamics, this book fills a gap in the literature on theoretical population dynamics. The Basic Approach to Age-Structured Population Dynamics will appeal to graduate students and researchers in mathematical biology, epidemiology and demography who are interested in the systematic presentation of relevant models and mathematical methods. 410 0$aLecture Notes on Mathematical Modelling in the Life Sciences,$x2193-4789 606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aIntegral equations 606 $aPartial differential equations 606 $aGenetics and Population Dynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31010 606 $aApplications of Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13003 606 $aIntegral Equations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12090 606 $aPartial Differential Equations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12155 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aIntegral equations. 615 0$aPartial differential equations. 615 14$aGenetics and Population Dynamics. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 615 24$aIntegral Equations. 615 24$aPartial Differential Equations. 676 $a576.58 676 $a577.88 700 $aIannelli$b Mimmo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0149805 702 $aMilner$b Fabio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254306903321 996 $aThe Basic Approach to Age-Structured Population Dynamics$92129522 997 $aUNINA
