Numerical analysis of an open marine population model with spaced-limited recruitment
A numerical method for an open marine population model with spaced-limited recruitment is presented. The method takes into account the singularity of the mortality rate at the finite maximum age, and it is based on the representation of the solution along the characteristics lines. We analyze the numerical scheme and use it to approximate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the model. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
