# Basic stage structure measure valued evolutionary game model

• The ideas and techniques developed in [12,3] are extended to a basic stage structured model. 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. Similar to [12] we also have the unifying of discrete and continuous systems and the containment of the classic nonlinearities.
