Abstract Delay Equations Inspired by Population Dynamics

  • Chapter
Functional Analysis and Evolution Equations

Abstract

In this short note we show that delay equations can be reformulated as abstract weak*-integral equations (AIE) involving dual semigroups, even in the case of infinite delay and/or when the solution takes values in a non-reflexive Banach space. The advantage is that for such (AIE) the standard local stability and bifurcation results are already available, see [8]. Our motivation derives from models of physiologically structured populations, as explained in more detail in [12].

To the memory of GĂĽnter Lumer, a source of inspiration to both of us.
