5 PREFACE In the real world, an ecosystem is subjected to large perturbations of its initial state and continual disturbances on its dynamics. Therefore it is important to establish that an ecosystem model is stable relative to finite perturbations of its initial state and its dynamics. One object of this book is to demonstrate that Liapunov and Liapunov-like functions can be successfully used to establish, in a nonlinear population model, stability relative to realistic perturbations. It is shown that a complex ecosystem is stable relative to realistic perturbations if it is a collection of self-regulating species such that the sum total of the stabilizing intraspecific interactions dominates the interspecific interactions. A nontrivial criterion for a complex ecosystem model to have this property is given. For a complex ecosystem model to satisfy this criterion, it is desirable that it has many null interactions between pairs of species. Another object of this book is to demonstrate the usefulness of optimal control theory in the management of biological populations. Management policies should always be implemented in a feedback manner. This would reduce some of the adverse effects of uncertainties in an ecosystem in the real world. After all, Nature itself uses feedback to cope with uncertainties in many processes. Chapter 2 contains a brief survey of static optimization techniques and optimal control theory for systems which are modelled by differential and difference equations. Chapter 3 contains methods which use Liapunov and Liapunov-like functions to establish that a given population model is stable relative to finite perturbations of its initial state and that it is nonvulnerable relative to large continual disturbances. These methods are applied to single species and two-species populations which are modelled by differential and difference equations. Fisheries provide some of the best examples of the usefulness of mathematics in the management of biological populations. A few management problems in fisheries are examined in Chapter 4. They utilize stability and optimal control theories. Chapter 5 considers stability in an ecosystem model with complexities due to species richness, nonlinearities, time delays and spatial heterogeneity. The very in teresting and important problem of pest management is considered in Chapter 6. I have greatly benefited from discussions with T.T. Agnew, C.W. Clark, M.E. Fisher, G.W. Harrison, A. Hastings, C.S. Hsu, L.S. Jennings, G. Leitmann, D. Ludwig, T.L. Vincent and C.J. Walters. Many of the results in this book were obtained in collaboration with Tom Vincent. This book was completed during my sabbatical leave which was supported by NRC grant No I thank Colin Clark and members of the Mathematics Department of the University of British Columbia for their hospitality.
