Structured populations with diffusion and Feller conditions

Math Biosci Eng. 2016 Apr 1;13(2):261-79. doi: 10.3934/mbe.2015002.

Abstract

We prove a weak maximum principle for structured population models with dynamic boundary conditions. We establish existence and positivity of solutions of these models and investigate the asymptotic behaviour of solutions. In particular, we analyse so called size profile.
