Differential Equations And Population Dynamics I

This book presents the basic theoretical concepts of dynamical systems with applications in population dynamics. Existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions, global attractors, bifurcations, center manifold and normal form theories are discussed with cutting-edge applications, including a Holling's predator-prey model with handling and searching predators and projecting the epidemic forward with varying level of public health interventions for COVID-19. As an interdisciplinary text, this book aims at bridging the gap between mathematics, biology and medicine by integrating relevant concepts from these subject areas, making it self-sufficient for the reader. It will be a valuable resource to graduate and advance undergraduate students for interdisciplinary research in the area of mathematics and population dynamics.
