✦ Synopsis

A mathematical model describing the age-dependent dynamics of a population is studied. Under very general assumptions, existence of nonzero equilibrium solutions is proven. For some special kind of rate law it is shown that this model can asymptotically be described by means of a simpler system of ordinary differential equations. An example is.given where the model admits nonconstant time-periodic solutions.
