    Notes: Abstract The existence of positive equilibrium solutions of the McKendrick equations for the dynamics of an age-structured population is studied as a bifurcation phenomenon using the inherent net reproductive rate n as a bifurcation parameter. The local existence and uniqueness of a branch of positive equilibria which bifurcates from the trivial (identically zero) solution at the critical value n=1 are proved by implicit function techniques under very mild smoothness conditions on the death and fertility rates as functional of age and population density. This first requires the development of a suitable linear theory. The lowest order terms in the Liapunov-Schmidt expansions are also calculated. This local analysis supplements earlier global bifurcation results of the author. The stability of both the trivial and the positive branch equilibria is studied by means of the principle of linearized stability. It is shown that in general the trivial solution losses stability as n increases through one while the stability of the branch solution is stable if and only if the bifurcation is supercritical. Thus the McKendrick equations exhibit, in the latter case, a standard exchange of stability with regard to equilibrium states as they depend on the inherent net reproductive rate. The derived lower order terms in the Liapunov-Schmidt expansions yield formulas which explicitly relate the direction of bifurcation to properties of the age-specific death and fertility rates as functionals of population density. Analytical and numerical results for some examples are given which illustrate these results.

    Predator-prey relationships: Indiscriminate predation (1984)
    Springer
    Journal of mathematical biology 21 (1984), S. 25-34

    ISSN: 1432-1416
    Keywords: Predator-prey ; density dependence ; stability

    Notes: Abstract The Gurtin and Levine model5 is studied in this paper under the assumption that the fecundity of prey depends on age as well as on the total population sizes of prey and predators. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of this density dependence on the stability criteria for the equilibria of the model equations. It is shown that there are cases when, due to density dependence, the model which is originally neutrally stable becomes stable.

    Single-locus gametophytic incompatibility: the symmetric equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable (1994)
    Springer
    Journal of mathematical biology 32 (1994), S. 515-520 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1416
    Keywords: Gametophytic incompatibility ; model ; equilibrium ; stability
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The deterministic dynamics of the classical single-locus multiple-allele model of gametophytic incompatibility is analyzed with the intention to prove the conjecture that the symmetric state (uniform distribution of genotypes) is the only polymorphic equilibrium and that this equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in the interior of the frequency simplex. It is shown that the minimum allelic frequency increases strictly over the generations as long as a uniform allelic distribution is not realized. Hence, the minimum allelic frequency is a Ljapunov function for the invariant set of genotypic frequencies characterized by a uniform allelic distribution. Within this set, the uniform genotypic distribution is approached in an exponential fashion, which proves the assertion. An evolutionary optimization rule associated with the global convergence to the symmetric state is implied by the fact that at this state the overall amount of pollen elimination resulting from incompatible crosses is minimized.

    Permanent coexistence in general models of three interacting species (1985)
    Springer
    Journal of mathematical biology 21 (1985), S. 285-298 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1416
    Keywords: Population dynamics ; coexistence ; mutualism ; persistence ; predator-mediated coexistence ; stability
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract We address the question of the long term coexistence of three interacting species whose dynamics are governed by the ordinary differential equations x i = X i f i (i = 1, 2, 3). In order for any theory in this area to be useful in practice, it must utilize as little information as possible concerning the forms of the f i , in view of the great difficulty of determining these experimentally. Here we obtain, under rather general conditions on the equations, a criterion for judging whether the species will coexist in a biologically realistic manner. This criterion depends only on the behaviour near the one or two species equilibria of the two dimensional subsystems, the behaviour there being relatively easy to examine experimentally. We show that with the exception of one class of cases, which is a generalization of a classical example of May and Leonard [21], invasibility at each such equilibrium suitably interpreted is both necessary and sufficient for a strong form of coexistence to hold. In the exceptional case, a single additional condition at the equilibria is enough to ensure coexistence.

    Notes: Abstract The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation u t =u xx +f(u)-w, u t =b(u-dw), is a simplified mathematical description of a nerve axon. If the parameters b〉0 and d⩾0 are taken suitably, this equation has two travelling pulse solutions with different propagation speeds. We study the stability of the fast pulse solution when b〉0 is sufficiently small. It is proved analytically by eigenvalue analysis that the fast pulse solution is “exponentially stable” if d〉0, and is “marginally stable” but not exponentially stable if d=0.

    A generalization of the Nash equilibrium theorem on bimatrix games (1996)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract In this article, we consider a two-person game in which the first player picks a row representative matrixM from a nonempty set $$A$$ ofm ×n matrices and a probability distributionx on {1,2,...,m} while the second player picks a column representative matrixN from a nonempty set ℬ ofm ×n matrices and a probability distribution y on 1,2,...,n. This leads to the respective costs ofx t My andx t Ny for these players. We establish the existence of an ɛ-equilibrium for this game under the assumption that $$A$$ and ℬ are bounded. When the sets $$A$$ and ℬ are compact in ℝmxn, the result yields an equilibrium state at which stage no player can decrease his cost by unilaterally changing his row/column selection and probability distribution. The result, when further specialized to singleton sets, reduces to the famous theorem of Nash on bimatrix games.

    Stability of axial motions of nonlinearly elastic loops (1996)

    Notes: Abstract We establish the stability of axial motions (steady motions along the lengthwise direction) of nonlinearly elastic loops of string. A key observation here is that a linear combination of the total energy and the total circulation of the string, both of which are conserved quantities, yields an appropriate Liapunov function. From our previous work [5], we know that there are uncountably many shapes corresponding to a given axial speed. Accordingly, we establish “orbitai” stability (modulo this collection of relative equilibria). For a well-defined class of “soft” materials, there is an upper bound on the axial speed sufficient for stability; “stiff” materials are shown to be orbitally stable at any axial speed.

    Notes: Abstract LetK be ad-dimensional star body (with respect to the origino). It is known that the (d−1)-dimensional volume of the intersections ofK with the hyperplanes througho does not uniquely determineK. Uniqueness can only be achieved under additional assumptions, such as central symmetry. Here it is pointed out that if one uses, instead of intersections by hyperplanes, intersections by half-planes that containo on the boundary, then, without any additional assumptions, the volume of these intersections determinesK uniquely. This assertion, and more general results of this kind, together with stability estimates, are obtained from uniqueness results and estimates concerning a particular spherical integral transformation.

    A bifurcation analysis of the nonlinear parametric programming problem (1990)

    Topics: Computer Science , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The structure of solutions to the nonlinear parametric programming problem with a one dimensional parameter is analyzed in terms of the bifurcation behavior of the curves of critical points and the persistence of minima along these curves. Changes in the structure of the solution occur at singularities of a nonlinear system of equations motivated by the Fritz John first-order necessary conditions. It has been shown that these singularities may be completely partitioned into seven distinct classes based upon the violation of one or more of the following: a complementarity condition, a constraint qualification, and the nonsingularity of the Hessian of the Lagrangian on a tangent space. To apply classical bifurcation techniques to these singularities, a further subdivision of each case is necessary. The structure of curves of critical points near singularities of lowest (zero) codimension within each case is analyzed, as well as the persistence of minima along curves emanating from these singularities. Bifurcation behavior is also investigated or discussed for many of the subcases giving rise to a codimension one singularity.
