  1. CS 170:Computing for the Sciences and Mathematics Constrained Growth

  2. Administrivia • Last time • Unconstrained Growth • Today • Unconstrained Growth • HW3 assigned • Thursday’s class will be in P115

  3. Constrained Growth • Population growth usually has constraints • Limits include: • Food available • Shelter/”Room” • Disease • These all can be encapsulated in the concept of “Carrying Capacity” (M) • The population an environment is capable of supporting

  4. Unconstrained Growth • Rate of change of population is directly proportional to number of individuals in the population (P) where r is the growth rate.

  5. Rate of change of population • D = number of deaths • B = number of births • rate of change of P = (rate of change of B) – (rate of change of D)

  6. Rate of change of population • Rate of change of B proportional to P

  7. Death • If population is much less than carrying capacity, what should the behavior look like? • No limiting pressure!

  8. Behavior • If population is much less than carrying capacity, almost unconstrained model • Rate of change of D (dD/dt)0

  9. Death • If population is nearing the carrying capacity, what should the behavior look like?

  10. Death, part 2 • If population is less than but close to carrying capacity, growth is dampened, almost 0 • Rate of change of D larger, almost rate of change B

  11. Behavior, part 2 • For dD/dt = f(rP), multiply rP by something so that • dD/dt 0 for P much less than M • In this situation, f 0 • dD/dt dB/dt = rP for P less than but close to M • In this situation, f 1 • What is a possible factor f? • One possibility is P/M

  12. If population is greater than M… • What is the sign of growth? • Negative • How does the rate of change of D compare to the rate of change of B? • Greater • Does this situation fit the model?

  13. Continuous logistic equations

  14. Discrete logistic equations

  15. If initial population < M, S-shaped graph

  16. If initial population > M

  17. Equilibrium • Equilibrium solution to differential equation • Solution where derivative is always 0 • M is an equilibrium point for this model • Population remains steady at that value • Derivative = 0 • Population size tends to M, regardless of non-zero value of population • For small displacement from M, P  M

  18. Stability • Solution q is stable if there is interval (a, b) containing q, such that if initial population P(0) is in that interval then • P(t) is finite for all t > 0 • P  q • P = M is stable equilibrium • There is an unstable equilibrium point as well… • P = 0 is unstable equilibrium • Violates P  q

  19. HOMEWORK! • READ Module 3.3 in the textbook • Homework 3 • Vensim Tutorial #2 • Due NEXT Monday • Thursday class in P115 (Lab) • Chance to work on HW #3 and ask questions
