Abstract :
Using symbolic dynamic techniques, populational growth models proportional to beta densities, are investigated. Our results give explicit methods to investigate the chaotic behaviour of populational growth models, when the malthusean parameter increases. The chaotic complexity is measured in terms of the topological entropy.
