Before analyzing the solutions to the nonlinear population model, let us make a pre-liminary change of variables, and set u(t) = N(t)/N⋆, so that u represents the size of the population in proportion to the carrying capacity N⋆. A straightforward computation shows that u(t) satisfies the so-called logistic differential equation du dt

www.math.colostate.edu › ~pauld › M345Equation (3) is said to be an autonomous differential equation, meaning that the nonlinear function F does not depend explicitly on t. The equation (2) is nonautonomous because F does contain explicit t dependence. The equations, y t y t 2 and y t y t 2 t2, are examples of autonomous and nonautonomous equations, respectively. We will consider some examples of nonlinear first order equations first and then state
