Parameter identification in multistage population dynamics model

Abstract We present a numerical analysis to solve a parameter identification problem. We identify the demographical parameters of a multistage population dynamics model (Ainseba et al., 2011 [12] ). Our nonlinear optimization problem with constraints is solved by a Quasi-Newton method. The convergence proof of this numerical method is performed here. Some numerical applications of it are also given at the end of the paper.
