Mathematical analysis of autonomous and non‐autonomous age‐structured reaction‐diffusion‐advection population model

Abstract

In this paper, we study an age‐structured reaction‐diffusion‐advection population model. First, we use a non‐densely defined operator to the linear age‐structured reaction‐diffusion‐advection population model in a patchy environment. By spectral analysis, we obtain the asynchronous exponential growth of the population model. Then we consider nonlinear death rate and birth rate, which all depend on the function related to the generalized total population, and we prove the existence of a steady state of the system. Finally, we study the age‐structured reaction‐diffusion‐advection population model in non‐autonomous situations. We give the comparison principle and prove the eventual compactness of semiflow by using integrated semigroup. We also prove the existence of compact attractors under the periodic situation.
