title: The cohort feedback model with symmetric net maternity.
abstract: "In this paper we consider the simplest and most widely used demographic feedback model, the birth-response cohort feedback model.  In the case of symmetric net maternity, we put the model into a form in which one of the rare global bifurcation theorems in the mathematical literature can be brought to bear.  As a consequence, we prove that the model has solutions with period exactly twice the mean age of net maternity for at least a specified range of parameter values which include cycles of non-infinitesimal amplitude."
