Asymptotic behaviour of a structured population model on a space of measures

Abstract

In this paper we consider a physiologically structured population model with distributed states at birth, formulated on the space of non-negative Radon measures. Using a characterisation of the pre-dual space of bounded Lipschitz functions, we show how to apply the theory of strongly continuous positive semigroups to such a model. In particular, we establish the exponential convergence of solutions to a one-dimensional global attractor.
