Here we investigate the optimal harvesting of an age-structured population. We use the McKendrick model of population dynamics, and optimize a discounted yield on an infinite time horizon. The harvesting function is allowed to depend arbitrarily on age and time and its magnitude is unconstrained. We
A continuous age-structured population model with two population groups, juveniles and adults, and with a dynamics for the resource, is considered. The only density dependence is through a uniform increase of the death rates. A complete description of the asymptotic behavior of the population dynami
The age-structure of a population, and the distribution of sexual behavior according to age, are significant factors determining the spread of the AIDS epidemic. The threshold conditions for age-structured models account for life-history information, and thus differ significantly from their age-inde
