Basic stage structure measure valued evolutionary game model by John Cleveland

“…Each strategy consists of two stages: a Juvenile (L for larvae), and Adult (A). A general model of this basic stage structure is formulated as a dynamical system on the state space of finite signed measures.Nonnegativity, well-posedness and uniform eventual boundedness are established under biologically natural conditions on the rates. …”
