    This study presents a novel mathematical method for analyzing population density variations using two distinct length scales. The technique is applied to both metropolitan and regional population data.

    Area of Science:

    • Mathematical modeling
    • Demography
    • Spatial analysis

    Background:

    • Understanding population density distribution is crucial for urban planning and resource management.
    • Existing models may not fully capture the multi-scale variations in population density.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new mathematical technique for describing population density functions.
    • To identify and characterize key length scales governing density variations.
    • To apply the technique to real-world population data at different geographical levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of a new differential equation for population density.
    • Obtaining asymptotic solutions to the derived equation.
    • Application of matched asymptotic expansions and multiple scales methods.

    • Successful application of the new mathematical technique to metropolitan and regional population data.
    • Validation of the derived differential equation and its asymptotic solutions.

    Conclusions:

    • The new mathematical technique provides a robust framework for analyzing population density.
    • The identified length scales offer insights into the spatial structure of populations.
    • The method is applicable to diverse geographical scales, from urban centers to broader regions.
