Exercise 3(Population model of von Bertalanffy)
Usually the growth rate of a specie is expressed via the mass of carbon it produces The von Bertalanffly model has the following form:
ddtm(x,t)=ax2(t)-bx3(t)
where m is the biomass, x a characteristic size of the specie, the rate of growth of the biomass and b the rate of consumption of the biomass.
(a) Assuming that m=x3 write the model as a differential equation of the variable x(t).
(b) Write the dimensions of the constants/parameters ,b and .
(c) Compute the matrix of the dimensions A.
(d) Define the dimensionless problem using proper characteristic variables for the size and the time, for example: b and b respectively.
(e) If
