The Dynamic Behavior (Effects) of Impulsive Toxicant Input on a Single-Species Population in a Small Polluted Environment [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In this paper, we study a single-species population model with pulse toxicant input to a small polluted environment. The intrinsic rate of population is affected by environment and toxin in organisms. The toxin in organisms is influenced by toxin in environment and the food chain. A new mathematical model is derived.
