Abstract

We present a stochastic age-dependent population model that accounts for Markovian switching and variable delay. By using the approximate value at the nearest grid-point on the left of the delayed argument to estimate the delay function, we propose a class of split-step θ -method for solving stochastic delay age-dependent population equations (SDAPEs) with Markovian switch- ing. We show that the numerical method is convergent under the given conditions. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate our results.
