✦ Synopsis

A system of partial differential equations is developed that describes the population dynamics and interactions of a boll weevil cotton crop system. Emphasis is placed on the mathematical structure needed in capturing the biologically meaningful interactions between the boll weevil and its host (the cotton buds and fruit). A procedure is outlined for the numerical solution of the system and comparisons are made with field data.

We present in this paper a novel generalized unit system (GUS) for electromagnetic formulation and for improving the numerical behavior of the solution procedure by decreasing the condition number of the finite element (FE) matrices. The goal is to express, in the GUS, the governing electromagnetic
