A variety of growth curves have been developed to model both unpredated, intraspecific population dynamics and more general biological growth. Most predictive models are shown to be based on variations of the classical Verhulst logistic growth equation. We review and compare several such models and ...
The generalized logistic equation is used to interpret the COVID-19 epidemic data in several countries: Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey and South Korea. The model coefficients are calculated: the growth rate and the expected number of infected people, as well as the exponent...
This paper explores stochastic differential equation models to characterize the growth dynamics of a stock modeled by generalized logistic growth under a general harvesting function. The latter function adds diminishing marginal productivity to effort increases, while the former incorporates several w...

Assume an annual net growth rate of 18%18%. Draw the direction field for the differential equation from step 11, along with several solutions for different initial populations. What are the constant solutions of the differential equation? What do these solutions correspond to in the original ...
Started in Wuhan, China, the COVID-19 has been spreading all over the world. We calibrate the logistic growth model, the generalized logistic growth model,
In general, this recurrence equation cannot be solved in closed form. Wolfram (2002, p. 1098) has postulated that any exact solution must be of the form (6) where is some function and is its inverse function. M. Trott (pers. comm.) has shown that smooth solutions cannot exist for ...
A new sigmoid growth equation is presented for curve-fitting, analysis and simulation of growth curves. Like the logistic growth equation, it increases monotonically, with both upper and lower asymptotes. Like the Richards growth equation, it can have its maximum slope at any value between its mi...
Logistic regression is used to model situations where growth accelerates rapidly at first and then steadily slows to an upper limit. We use the command “Logistic” on a graphing utility to fit a logistic function to a set of data points. This returns an equation of the form y=c1+ae−bx...
