In this paper, we consider systems with one resource, which can be in several states. The states differ significantly in their processes of mortality, reproduction and mutual influence. For instance, infected elements can have a higher mortality rate than healthy and recovered ones. For cyclic models, in which the initial state of the system coincides with the final state, balance relations are found. They represent a system with functional operators with shift and integrals with degenerate kernels. Modified Fredholm method, proposed in previous works to solve the integral equations of the second type with degenerate kernels and shifts, is applied. Equilibrium position of a system with a three-state resource is found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
