Evolution problems with nonlinear nonlocal boundary conditions (Q2377295)

The authors consider a nonlinear evolution problem with nonlinear nonlocal boundary conditions. They concentrate on existence results obtained by applying the degree theory for function triples with a Fredholm function developed in [the third author, Topological analysis. From the basics to the triple degree for nonlinear Fredholm inclusions. Berlin: De Gruyter (2012; Zbl 1248.47001)]. The two interesting cases are studied: of an immediately compact semigroup or some Lipschitz and compactness type condition on the nonlinearity. As applications, the authors present a particular age-population model and show that every controlled reaction-diffusion equation is subject to a shape-preserving huge growth.
