Abstract

The method of constructing a stability indicatrix of a nonnegative matrix having the form of a polynomial of its coefficients is presented. The algorithm of construction and conditions of its applicability are specified. The applicability of the algorithm is illustrated on examples of constructing the stability indicatrix for a series of functions widely used in simulation of the dynamics of discrete biological communities, for solving evolutionary optimality problems arising in biological problems of evolutionary selection, for identification of the conditions of the pandemic in a distributed host population.
