¿Solve Delayed Logistic Equation or Hutchinson's Equation?

129 Views Asked by At

I would like to know the analytical solution of the following ODE.

[Hutchinson's Equation]

$N'(t)=rN(t)(1-\frac{N(t-\tau)}{K})$

Where $r> 0$ is the intrinsic growth rate of the species and $K> 0$ is the persistence capacity or carrying capacity for said species.

This formula comes from the Verhulst logistic equation whose form is.

[Verhulst Logistic Equation]

$N'(t)=rN(t)(1-\frac{N(t)}{K})$

Only that Hutchinson's equation considers tau "$\tau$" as the retarder (delay or lag)

What would be the solution of the Hutchinson's equation?
