(in millions) 1.89 5.31
Birth rate 0 0.0332
Death rate 0.0086 0.0295
The diagram below shows a network model of the changes in the subpopulation sizes from year to year. Here Jn and An denote the sizes (in millions) of the subpopulations of juveniles and adults, respectively, n years after the year 1880. It has been assumed that, in any year, 1/15 of the juveniles become adults.
[DIAGRAM]
