The seventh International Conference on Evolution Equations and their main areas of Applications (where the emphasis evolves as time and problems change) was held October 30 to November 4 at the CIRM (Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Matematica) in Trento, Italy. In keeping with the basic principles and the recent tendencies governing these International Conferences, it brought together many of the world's leading experts in the fields mentioned, with particular effort on facilitating the interaction of established scientists and emerging young promising researchers, as well as the...

The international conference on which the book is based brought together many of the world's leading experts, with particular effort on the interaction between established scientists and emerging young promising researchers, as well as on the interaction of pure and applied mathematics. All material has been rigorously refereed. The contributions contain much material developed after the conference, continuing research and incorporating additional new results and improvements. In addition, some up-to-date surveys are included.

Featuring detailed explanations of model construction and a set of problems tackling more advanced topics, this extensive review of mathematical applications in biology ranges from population dynamics and ecology to epidemiology and molecular networks.

This book provides an introduction to age-structured population modeling which emphasizes the connection between mathematical theory and underlying biological assumptions.
Through the rigorous development of the linear theory and the nonlinear theory alongside numerics, the authors explore classical equations that describe the dynamics of certain ecological systems. Modeling aspects are discussed to show how relevant problems in the fields of demography, ecology and epidemiology can be formulated and treated within the theory. In particular, the book presents extensions of age-structured...
