Abstract:
Delay equations and functional differential equations are suitable to model biological systems where the evolution of the system depends also on the past states. In population dynamics, time delays arise naturally due to maturation periods, times needed for spatial movement, times to initiate population control and so on. Modeling complex biological phenomena often requires the use of multiple, variable, distributed, infinite delays, delays in terms with a derivative, or state dependent delays that depend on the solution itself. In this session we propose to summarize recent progress in this field from theoretical, numerical and application points of view.
