Topic    :       Logistic Nonlinearities in Population Dynamics

Abstract:

    Logistic nonlinearities arise in population models in which population growth decreases as population density increases above environmental carrying capacity. In this talk several classes of abstract logistic equations will be investigated. By abstract it is meant that the state space of the equation may be infinite dimensional. The results are thus applicable to partial differential equations, and particularly to structured population models in which age, size, or other properties of individuals are independent variables. The asymptotic behavior of the solutions, such as convergence to equilibrium, periodicity, or chaos will be analyzed.
