Abstract

First are given results on the norm-continuity of translation semigroups and their asymptotic behavior. Secondly a cell cycle model is studied from the point of view of linear translation semigroups theory. Existence and norm-continuity of the solution semigroup and the property of exponential asynchronous growth are established for this model.
