Abstract:
A delay differential equation for the population size is derived from an age-dependent model with a dominant age class. This equation is provided with impulse conditions and its discrete-time counterpart is constructed using the semi-discretization method. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a periodic solution of the resulting difference problem are found by Mawhin's continuation theorem.
