    Amplitude equations for time-dependent solutions of the McKendrick equations (English)
    0 references
    This paper is devoted to the study of an age-dependent population modeled by the McKendrick equation. Such equations arise from a conservation law including constitutive assumptions concerning maternity and mortality rates. A weakly nonlinear analysis near neutral stability is made giving bifurcation to time-dependent solutions whose amplitude is governed by a complex Landau-Stuart equation. The multiple scales method is used here. Many different asymptotic behaviors are possible. A delay is introduced yielding a codimension two bifurcation in the system.
