Long-time asymptotics for nonlinear growth-fragmentation equations (Q1927020): Difference between revisions

The paper concerns several growth-fragmentation equations and establishes the existence of either asymptotically stable equilibria or nontrivial period orbits. In the proof, the author first derives almost explicit formulas for a two-dimensional invariant manifold \(\mathcal{E}\) and employs a relative entropy functional in order to show that \(\mathcal{E}\) is attractive. Afterwards he characterizes the reduced dynamics on \(\mathcal{E}\) using classical ODE methods.
