Abstract

In preceding chapters, we considered a single population composed of a large number of individuals with identical behavior. In real situations, we will have several populations. The natural extension to the preceding developments is to obtain mean field equations for each population. A much more challenging situation will be to consider competing populations. This will be addressed in the next chapter.
