Abstract

Considering that the population size is always influenced by various uncertain factors in varying environment, we present some new types of uncertain population models: uncertain population growth model and uncertain logistic population growth model which are described by uncertain differential equations. And some properties of these uncertain population models are discussed within the framework of uncertainty theory.
