Abstract
Many applications of positive semigroups occur in mathematical biology or chemistry. In the finite-dimensional part of our text we have already discussed a very simple discrete-time population model, called the Leslie model (see Section 6.3). In this chapter we present a time-continuous age-structured population model with spatial diffusion. We present a rather advanced model in order to show the reader some generalizations and applications.
