摘要
In this paper a numerical method for solving the nonlinear age-structured population models is presented which is based on Bernstein polynomials approximation. Operational matrices of integration, differentiation, dual and product are introduced and are utilized to reduce the age-structured population problem to the solution of algebraic equations. The method in general is easy to implement, and yields good results. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the new technique. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.
