A Numerical Approach to Calculating Population Spreading Speed

A population density, $u_{n}(x)$, is recursively defined by the formula egin{equation*} u_{n+1}(x)=int K(x-y)Big(1-ig(u_{n}(yig)Big)ig(u_{n} (yig)dy + ig(u_{n}(xig)ig(u_{n}(xig). end{equation*} Here, $K$ is a probability density function, $g(u)$ represents the fraction of the population that does no...
