A study of nonlinear age-structured population models. (English) Zbl 1346.92058

Summary: This paper presents a novel analysis for the solution of nonlinear age-structured problem which is of extreme importance in biological sciences. The presented model is very useful but quite complicated. Modified variational iteration method (MVIM) coupled with auxiliary parameter is used to cope with the complexity of the model which subsequently shows better results as compared to some existing results available in literature. Furthermore, an appropriate way is used for the identification of auxiliary parameter by means of residual function. Numerical examples are presented for the analysis of the proposed algorithm. Graphical results along with the discussions re-confirm the efficiency of proposed algorithm. The work proposes a new algorithm where He’s polynomials and an auxiliary parameter are merged with correction functional. The suggested scheme is implemented on nonlinear age-structured population models. Graphs are plotted for the residual function that reflects the accuracy and convergence of the presented algorithm.
