This paper deals with the problem of relating physiological properties of individual organisms to the dynamics at the total population level. A general nonlinear matrix difference equation is described which accounts for the dynamics of stage-structured populations under the assumption that individuals in the populations can be placed into well defined descriptive stages. Density feedback is modeled through an assumption that (stage-specific) fertilities and transitions are proportional to a resource uptake functional which is dependent upon a total weighted population size. It is shown how, if stage-specific differences in mortality are insignificant compared to stage-specific differences in fertility and inter-stage transitions, a nonlinear version of the strong ergodic theorem of demography mathematically separates the population level dynamics from the dynamics of the stage distribution vector, which is shown to stabilize independently of the population level dynamics. The nonlinear dynamics at the population level are governed by a key parameter π that encapsulates the stage-specific parameters and thereby affords a means by which population level dynamics can be linked to properties of individual organisms. The method is applied to a community of stagestructured populations competing for a common limiting resource, and it is seen how the parameter π determines the competitively superior species. An example of size structured competitors illustrates how the method can relate the competitive success of a species to such size-specific properties as resource conversion efficiencies and allocation fractions for individual growth and reproduction, largest adult body size, and size at birth and maturation.

An intelligent Levenberg-Marquardt Technique (LMT) with artificial neural network (ANN) backpropagation (BP) has been used to analyze the thermal heat and mass transfer of unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) thin film Maxwell fluid flow in a porous inclined sheet with an emphasis on the influence of electro-osmosis. The activation energy, chemical reaction, mixed convection, melting heat, joule heating, nonlinear thermal radiation, variable thermal conductivity and thermal source/sink effect are taken into account for transport expressions. Appropriate similarity transformations were used to translate partial differential equations (PDEs) into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). After that, the built-in MATLAB BVP4C method was used for a data set assessed using the LMT-ANN strategy to solve these ODEs. The physical significance of the designed parameters is thoroughly discussed in both tabular and graphical form. The observed R -squared value is 1, and the mean square error up to 10 − 15 demonstrates the LMT-ANN's precise and accurate computing capability. The model’s validity is also confirmed by the strong agreement between the obtained predicted findings and numerical results, which shows a high degree of accuracy within the range of 10 − 8 to 10 − 11 . It was revealed that radiative heat considerably increases surface heat energy through accumulation, improving heat transfer qualities, whereas fluid temperature is raised by Joule dissipation, variable thermal conductivity, and heat source. Electro-osmosis and magnetic fields reduce fluid velocity by generating opposing forces that resist the flow. This problem works best in microscale fluid transport systems and drilling operations, where magnetic and electro-osmotic control are crucial. These systems include micro-electromechanical systems, lab-on-a-chip devices, porous geological formations, and thin film coating technologies.

We investigate shear and interface modes excited in neutron stars with an elastic crust in the full general relativistic framework and compare them to the results obtained within the relativistic Cowling approximation. We observe that the Cowling approximation has virtually no impact on the frequencies or the eigenfunctions of the shear modes; in contrast, the interface modes that arise due to the discontinuities of the shear modulus experience a considerable shift in frequency when applying the Cowling approximation. Furthermore, we extend a scheme based on the properties of the phase of amplitude ratios, which allows us to estimate the damping times of slowly damped modes; our extension can provide an estimation of the damping time even if the features of the amplitude ratio are incomplete or if some of them violate the underlying linearity assumption. The proposed scheme is also computationally less expensive and numerically more robust and we provide accurate estimates as well as lower bounds for damping times of shear and interface modes. We estimate the damping times also via the quadrupole formula and find that it provides good order-of-magnitude estimates.

An age-structured population is considered in which the birth and death rates of an individual of age a is a function of the density of individuals older and/or younger than a. An existence/uniqueness theorem is proved for the McKendrick equation that governs the dynamics of the age distribution function. This proof shows how a decoupled ordinary differential equation for the total population size can be derived. This result makes a study of the population's asymptotic dynamics (indeed, often its global asymptotic dynamics) mathematically tractable. Several applications to models for intra-specific competition and predation are given.

We derive a two-dimensional (2D) extension of a recently developed formalism for slow-fast quasilinear (QL) systems subject to fast instabilities. The emergent dynamics of these systems is characterized by a slow evolution of (suitably defined) mean fields coupled to marginally stable, fast fluctuation fields. By exploiting this scale separation, an efficient hybrid fast-eigenvalue/slow-initial-value solution algorithm can be developed in which the amplitude of the fast fluctuations is slaved to the slowly evolving mean fields to ensure marginal stability—and temporal scale separation—is maintained. For 2D systems, the fluctuation eigenfunctions are labeled by their Fourier wave numbers characterizing spatial variability in that extended spatial direction, and the marginal mode(s) must coincide with the fastest-growing mode(s) over all admissible Fourier wave numbers. Here we derive an ordinary differential equation governing the slow evolution of the wave number of the fastest-growing fluctuation mode that simultaneously must be slaved to the mean dynamics to ensure the mode has zero growth rate. We illustrate the procedure in the context of a 2D model partial differential equation that shares certain attributes with the equations governing strongly stratified shear flows and other strongly constrained forms of geophysical turbulence in extreme parameter regimes. The slaved evolution follows one or more marginal stability manifolds, which constitute select state-space structures that are not invariant under the full flow dynamics yet capture quasicoherent structures in physical space in a manner analogous to invariant solutions identified in, e.g., transitionally turbulent shear flows. Accordingly, we propose that marginal stability manifolds are central organizing structures in a dynamical systems description of certain classes of multiscale flows in which scale separation justifies a QL approximation of the dynamics.

The technique in this paper is based mainly on spectral perturbation theory for large matrices.
