Models for pair formation in bisexual populations. (English) Zbl 0714.92018
Summary: Birth, death, pair formation, and separation are described by a system of three nonlinear homogeneous ordinary differential equations. The qualitative properties of the system are investigated, in particular the conditions for existence and global stability of the bisexual state.
