Euler and the geometric growth of
populations
The model
Population dynamics model. Science that tries to explain how different type of
population varies over time.
A population Pn grows at a constant rate r over time. At each perio, the

population is 1 + r times greater than the previous one

⁍

This is called the geometric growth of population where basically you are
saying that the population time n + 1is equal to 1 + r , where r is the growth
rate and it's a positive number, times the population P0 in n.

If we repeat the steps, starting from P0 , we get the equation of the geometrical

or exponential growth of the population.

Pn = (1 + r)n ⋅ P0

Estimating population in a certain time point as a function of the growth rate and
the population in the previous time. This is the differential equation:

P ′ (t) = r ⋅ P (t)

Assumption: Offsprings of fish are proportional to fish already present in the
lake.
Fish generated between
t and t + hare proportional to fish at time tand to the interval h.

Simulations & Modeling - Part 1 2

, P (t + h) = P (t) + P (t) ⋅ r ⋅ h
P (t + h) + P (t)
= r ⋅ P (t)
h
P′ (t) = r ⋅ P(t)
Malthusian population growth or Malthusian model

Population increases at each period are called generations.

Analytical solution

P ′ (t) = r ⋅ P (t)
P ′ (t)
=r
P (t)

P ’(t)/P (t)can be seen as the derivativeof the logfunction, such that:

∂ log P (t)
= log ′ P (t) = r
∂t

By integrating both sides:

log P (t) = r ⋅ t + c
P (t) = ert ⋅ ec

Where ec is the initial population, in fact when t = 0, P (t) = ec

Introducing births and deaths
Birth → Alive individuals → Death:

P (t + 1) = P (t) + B − D

In the previous model r = B − D.
Difference equation

P (t + h) = P (t) + b ∗ P (t) ∗ h − m ∗ P (t) ∗ h

where:

bis the birth rate
mis the mortality rate
