Using the algorithm in Exercise T1, do the one-age-class calculations for hi = h and hk

Chapter 10, Problem T2

(choose chapter or problem)

Using the algorithm in Exercise T1, do the one-age-class calculations for hi = h and hk = 0 for k = i for i = 1, 2,..., 12. Construct a summary table consisting of the values of hi and the percentage yields using i = 1, 2,..., 12, which will show that the largest of these yields occurs when i = 9. T3. Referring to the mouse population in Exercise T3 of Section 10.16, suppose that reducing the birthrates is not practical, so you instead decide to control the population by uniformly harvesting all of the age classes monthly. (a) What fraction of the population must be harvested monthly to bring the mouse population to equilibrium eventually? (b) What is the equilibrium age distribution vector under this uniform harvesting policy? (c) The total number of mice in the original mouse population was 155. What would be the total number of mice after 5, 10, and 200 months under your uniform harvesting policy?
