Rules for energy uptake, and subsequent utilization, form the basis of population dynamics and, therefore, explain the dynamics of the ecosystem structure in terms of changes in standing crops and size distributions of individuals. Mass fluxes are concomitant with energy flows and delineate function

dedicated to professor jack k. hale on the occasion of his 70th birthday
The general principles by which certain structured population models or renewal equations can be reduced to ordinary differential equations or delay equations are systematically investigated with particular attention to retarded and neutral delay differential equations. Approriate state spaces are defined and their relations are studied, as well as the positivity of the resulting evolutionary systems. 2000

## In this paper, the problem of Lr-norm conservation for generalized Boltzmann models with delay is presented. Conditions which guarantee conservation of L'-norm are proved in the case of linear and bilinear equation. Examples when the norm is not conserved and some numerical results are presente
## Abstract We derive necessary and sufficient conditions on a LotkaβVolterra model to admit a conservation law of Volterra's type. The result and the proof for the corresponding linear algebra problem are given in graphβtheoretical terms; they refer to the directed graph which is defined by the co
In this paper, criteria on uniform ultimate boundedness are derived for impulsive delay di erential equations using Lyapunov functions and Razumikhin techniques. It should be noted that the boundedness criteria establish global existence of solutions as well as boundedness without assuming, a priori
