An age‐dependent population equation with delayed birth process

Within a semigroup framework, we discuss well posedness and qualitative behaviour of an age‐dependent population equation with delay in the birth process. Using positivity and Perron–Frobenius theory we obtain an explicit stability criterion. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A semigroup method for delay equations with relatively bounded operators in the delay term

We consider well-posedness and stability of abstract partial differential equations with unbounded operators in their delay terms. We show that the problem is equivalent to an abstract Cauchy problem in a product Banach space, give sufficient conditions on the well-posedness, make a complete spectral analysis and give robust stability criteria. The results are applied to the problem of small delays and to damped plate equations.     

Asynchronous exponential growth for an age dependent population equation with delayed birth process

We show that the solutions of a population equation with age structure and delayed birth process have asynchronous exponential growth (AEG). We use operator matrices and Hille-Yosida operators as well as Perron-Frobenius techniques.
