Mathematical models of insect movement with emphasis on boll weevil emigration
(1976)
The dispersal from initial residence locations of such insects as the Mexican boll weevil is an important factor in their persistent existence. Insects and other small organisms dispersed from a point of initial concentration ...
Optimal system spare configuration based on the present worth of operational costs under a policy of cannibalization
(1976)
An economic model is developed for determining optimal spare provisioning requirements when a system is subject to cannibalization; in this context, cannibalization is defined as the process of using the good components ...
Mathematical modeling of decision making in real estate contractual negotiation
(1976)
The objective of this research is to develop two mathematical models of net incomes of the seller and the purchaser in a real estate installment sale. The basis of the models is the present value concept. The objective is ...
Mathematical models for predator-prey interactions
(1976)
In the study of population dynamics, the predator-prey system is recognized as a vitally important aspect in natural population control. Some aspects concerning the predator-prey interactions are studied in this dissertation. ...
