RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Study on the efficiency in the numerical integration of size-structured population models: Error and computational cost A1 Angulo Torga, Óscar A1 López Marcos, Juan Carlos A1 López Marcos, Miguel Ángel K1 Análisis numérico K1 Población AB We describe a procedure which is useful to select an appropriate numerical method in asize-structured population model. We consider four different numerical methods based onfinite difference schemes or characteristics curves integration. We compute an analyticalapproximation in terms of the discretization parameters for the theoretical error principalterms and the computational cost. Thus, we show the efficiency curve that allows to selectthe best relationship between the discretization parameters for each numerical method.Finally, we obtain the most efficient numerical method for each test.
