Relative Entropy Method for Measure Solutions of the Growth-Fragmentation Equation

Abstract

The aim of this study is to generalise recent results of the two last authors on en-tropy methods for measure solutions of the renewal equation to other classes of structured population problems. Specifically, we develop a generalised relative entropy inequality for the growth-fragmentation equation and prove asymptotic convergence to a steady-state solution, even when the initial datum is only a non-negative measure.
