A MODEL OF AGE–STRUCTURED POPULATION UNDER STOCHASTIC PERTURBATION OF DEATH AND BIRTH RATES by Maxim A. Alshanskiy

“…Under consideration is construction of a model of age-structured population reflecting random oscillations of the death and birth rate functions. We arrive at an Itô-type difference equation in a Hilbert space of functions which can not be transformed into a proper Itô equation via passing to the limit procedure due to the properties of the operator coefficients. …”
