✦ Synopsis

This paper considers the existence and uniqueness of solutions of an age-structured population model in a spatially heterogeneous bounded environment. The model describes individual organism movement of diffusion and advection in the older life stage but assumes stationarity of individuals in the embryonic stage. The mathematical formulation is a nonlinear degenerate parabolic partial differential problem with non-locally integro-type initial-boundary conditions.
