Title: The Beverton—Holt q-Difference Equation

Additional Public Info:

<b>Abstract</b>: The Beverton—Holt model is a classical population model which has been considered in the literature for the discrete-time case. Its continuous-time analogue is the well-known logistic model. In this talk, we consider a quantum calculus
analogue of the Beverton—Holt equation. We use a recently introduced concept of
periodic functions in quantum calculus in order to study the existence of periodic
solutions of the Beverton—Holt q-difference equation. Moreover, we present proofs
of quantum calculus versions of two so-called Cushing—Henson conjectures.

Refreshments will be served in 348 Avery 3:30-4pm.
The talk is free and open to the public.
