Small perturbations in nonlinear age-structured population equations.
A non-linear age-structured population dynamic model described by partial integro-differential equations is considered, where the non-linear term reflects the interaction among individuals. This non-linear model is interpreted as a perturbed linear one. An approximation method based on the ideas of averaging, of a slow time transformation and a power series expansion is suggested. The asymptotic properties of the approximate solution are analyzed. It is shown that the approximate solution remains close to the true solution as t-->infinity.
