How stock dependent flow rates may imply chaos in educational planning
Mathematical Population Studies
|January 1, 1994
Abstract:
"The aim of the present paper is to illustrate how extremely complex patterns may be generated in a simple model of educational planning. In particular, we will show that certain dependencies of the flow rates on the teacher/student ratio imply nonlinearities which are substantial enough to generate erratic behaviour of the time paths. The main message is that chaos in educational planning may result from assumptions which are indeed qualitatively realistic but which are quantitatively exaggerated." (SUMMARY IN FRE)
