Age-dependent equations with non-linear diffusion

arXiv:0810.5465

Abstract

We consider the well-posedness of models involving age structure and non-linear diffusion. Such problems arise in the study of population dynamics. It is shown how diffusion and age boundary conditions can be treated that depend non-linearly and possibly non-locally on the density itself. The abstract approach is depicted with examples.
