โฆ Synopsis
The large time behavior of numerical solutions for a model describing age-structured population dynamics is investigated. An upwind scheme is considered for the approximation. The optimal rate of convergence of the scheme is demonstrated for the maximum norm and the stability of the method is discussed. Numerical experiments are carried out.

This paper considers the existence and uniqueness of solutions of an age-structured population model in a spatially heterogeneous bounded environment. The model describes individual organism movement of diffusion and advection in the older life stage but assumes stationarity of individuals in the em
We present a set of difference equations which represents the discrete counterpart of a large class of continuous model concerning the dynamics of an infection in an organism or in a host population. The limiting behavior of the discrete model is studied and a threshold parameter playing the role of
