Abstract
A nonlinear version of the Lotka-Sharpe model of population growth is considered in which the age specific fertility is a function of the population size. The stability of an equilibrium population distribution is investigated with respect to both global and local perturbations. Sufficient conditions for such stability are presented, as are estimates for the rate of return of the population to the equilibrium configuration. Particular attention is paid to those situations in which the age dependent stability criteria coincide with those of age independent models.
