A nonlinear structured population model: Lipschitz continuity of measure-valued solutions with respect to model ingredients (Q984893): Difference between revisions

This article gives a global existence/uniqueness proof of measure-valued solutions to the nonlocal first-order hyperbolic boundary-initial value problem for the evolution of a physiologically structured population. Lipschitz continuity of the solution with respect to the model ingredients is established. The analysis is based on nonlinear semigroup theory on the space of finite Radon measures endowed with the flat metric. Key estimates are obtained via duality methods characterizing the measure-valued weak solution of a linear structured population model.
