Spectral distribution of transport operator arising in growing cell populations (Q403259)

Summary: Transport equation with partly smooth boundary conditions arising in growing cell populations is studied in \(L_p\) \((1 < p < +\infty)\) space. It is to prove that the transport operator \(A_H\) generates a \(C_0\) semigroup and the ninth-order remainder term \(R_9 (t)\) of the Dyson-Phillips expansion of the semigroup is compact, and the spectrum of transport operator \(A_H\) consists of only finite isolated eigenvalues with finite algebraic multiplicities in a trip \(\Gamma_{\omega}\). The main methods rely on theory of linear operators, comparison operators, and resolvent operators approach.
