Problem on cubic population model


Assignment:

Consider the cubic population model
dN/dt=cN(N-κ)(1-N)
Where c and κ are given constants, such that c>0 and 0<κ<1. Note that the population N is measured in units of thousands.

Find and classify the steady states N123 of this equation.

If the initial population is N0 describe, without proof, the future of the population, distinguishing various cases on the size of N0 relative to the steady states N1,N2 and N3.

Obtain the solution of the differential equation with initial condition N(0)  =2, assuming the parameters c=1 and κ=1/2.
Hints: If you encounter a quartic equation for N, consider the substitution K=N-1/2. For choosing the right signs in extracting roots, you should assume N≥1.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
