On population growth of cities in a region:  a stochastic nonlinear model.
"A stochastic migration model describing the population dynamics in a region is investigated.  The model is described by a pair of coupled differential equations with state-dependent stochasticity.  Explicit expressions for the time evolution of the moments for the population sizes of cities are obtained from the Fokker-Planck equation.  The Stratonovich calculus is employed in the analysis."
