Stability conditions for a non-linear size-structured model

In this paper we consider a general non-linear size-structured population dynamical model with size- and density-dependent fertility and mortality rates and with size-dependent growth rate. Based on M. Farkas (Appl. Math. Comput. 131 (1) (2002) 107–123) we are able to deduce a characteristic function for a stationary solution of the system in a similar way. Then we establish results about the stability (resp. instability) of the stationary solutions of the system.
