Iteration and nonlinear equations of age-dependent population growth with a birth window (Q760356)

Several iteration schemes are developed for finding the age distribution satisfying a nonlinear McKendrick-Von Foerster equation of population growth. The scheme is based on the concept of matriarchal and temporal generation expansions developed by S. I. Rubinow [see \textit{S. I. Rubinow} and \textit{R. Oppenheim Berger}, Theor. Popul. Biol. 16, 35-47 (1979; Zbl 0414.92019)] and it depends on the assumption that the birth and death rates depend on only a portion of the present population, not the entire population.
