Abstract
Examples (1-D seismic, large flexible structures, bioturbation, nonlinear population dispersal) in which a variation setting can provide a convenient framework for convergence and stability arguments in parameter estimation problems are considered. Some of these examples are 1-D seismic, large flexible structures, bioturbation, and nonlinear population dispersal. Arguments for convergence and stability via a variational approach of least squares formulations of parameter estimation problems for partial differential equations is one aspect of the problem considered.

It is suggested that the heterogeneity of the environment and the non-linear dispersive movements raise a spatial segregation of the populations of two similar and competing species and there is a possibility that this spatial segregation acts to stabilize the coexistence of twoSimilar species, relaxing the interspecific competition.
