In population dynamics, Nurgaliev's equation says
where 'n' is the size of a population, a is a half of the average probability of a birth of a male (the same for females) of a potential arbitrary parents pair within a year, b is an average probability of a death of a person within a year.
The first term is twice proportional to the half of population (number of males and number of females). The second term is responsible for death rate and has clear and precise sense—in-average-constant distribution of death rate on age scale (babies are at risk at birth, the middle aged are at risk of trauma, old men become ill). It is known to demographers, for example, that the probability of death within the first year of a life is precisely equal to similar probability for the 55th year of a life. Thus, in the given model the average person dies under the same law as an unstable atomic nucleus decays.
