Abstract

In this work, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solution of Floquet eigenvalue and its adjoint to homogeneous growth-fragmentation equation with positive and periodic coefficients. We study the Floquet exponent, which measures the growth rate of a population. Finally, we establish the long term behavior of solution to the homogeneous growth-fragmentation equation by entropy method [1,2,3].
