Bounds and Inequalities on the Rate of Population Growth.

Abstract

The paper uses reliability theory concepts and techniques to bound the Malthusian parameter (or rate of population growth), the reproductive value of a population, and related population parameters. These results are potentially useful for population control when age specific birth and death rates are not known exactly or may be in error. (Author)
