Q1/ Consider the modified logistic population growth equation P = Pla-bP) + ce-P Here, and k...
- ap-bp? This equation is known as the logistic law of population growth and the numbers a, b are called the vital coefficients of the population. It was first introduced in 1837 by the Dutch mathematical-biologist Verhulst. Now, the constant b, in general, will be very small compared to a, so that if p is not too large then the term - bp will be negligible compared to ap and the population will grow exponentially. However, when p is very...
