A time-delay model of single-species growth with stage structure.
A single-species growth model with stage structure consisting of immature and mature stages is developed using a discrete time delay. It is shown that under suitable hypotheses there exists a globally asymptotically stable positive equilibrium. Questions concerning oscillation and nonoscillation of solutions are addressed analytically and numerically. The effect of the delay on the populations at equilibrium is also considered.
