A multi-class extension of the mean field Bolker-Pacala population model
  We extend our earlier mean field approximation of the Bolker-Pacala model of population dynamics by dividing the population into N classes, using a mean field approximation for each class but also allowing migration between classes as well as possibly suppressive influence of the population of one class over another class. For N at least 2, we obtain one symmetric non-trivial equilibrium for the system and give global limit theorems. For N=2, we calculate all equilibrium solutions, which, under additional conditions, include multiple non-trivial equilibria. Lastly, we prove geometric ergodicity regardless of the number of classes when there is no population suppression across the classes.
