P. F. Verhulst's “notice sur la loi que la populations suit dans son accroissement” from correspondence mathematique et physique. Ghent, vol. X, 1838

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The purpose of this publication as a pedagogical contribution is to report what is perhaps the first mathematical treatment of population statistics. This translation of an important paper by P. F. Verhulst was written at a time when the ideas of Malthus were extremely popular. It is believed that Verhulst's contribution was the first explanation of what is currently considered the logistic equation or the S-shaped curve.

“…where μ is the constant specific growth rate. Among all models describing a bounded sigmoidal growth curve, one of the simplest is the logistic model (Vogels et al, 1975). This model requires a maximum carrying capacity ( S max ) and an initial cell-covered surface ( S 0 ) to be solved, and is expressed by a nonlinear differential equation (Shuler & Kargi, 1992), where C max is a growth constant:…”

“…Verhulst (Vogels et al 1975 ) developed the first logistic equation to describe population growth based on the work of Thomas Malthus. Verhulst added an extra term, K , called the overall saturation constant to the first model of Malthus to represent the resistance to growth up to a certain limit value of biomass concentration as shown in the equation describing logistic growth.…”

“…This model is based on a generalized logistic (Verhulst) growth model (Vogels et al 1975) as already done by Moejes et al (2017) to model the dynamics of a culture embedding P. tricornutum and a complex microbial community. Additionally, as P. haloplanktis is feeding on DOM released by P. tricornutum as the only carbon source, we included a Monod-type kinetic (Monod 1949) to reflect this dependency.…”
