Numerical analysis of stability for a nonlinear size-structured population model with elastic growth

Shu-Ping Wang, Peng Wu, Ze-Rong He

Abstract

This article is concerned with an upwind difference scheme for a nonlinear size-dependent population model, into which an elastic growth is incorporated; that is, a decrease of size is possible. We make a through analysis of convergence for the numerical method, and use it as an auxiliary tool in the investigation of stability of population steady states. Two examples are presented.
