Download or read book Competition Models in Population Biology written by Paul Waltman and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses fundamental ideas in dynamical systems to answer questions of a biologic nature, in particular, questions about the behavior of populations given a relatively few hypotheses about the nature of their growth and interaction. The principal subject treated is that of coexistence under certain parameter ranges, while asymptotic methods are used to show competitive exclusion in other parameter ranges. Finally, some problems in genetics are posed and analyzed as problems in nonlinear ordinary differential equations.
