Abstract:

A strongly continuous semigroup of bounded linear operators $T(t)$, $t \geqslant 0$, in the Banach space $X$ has asynchronous exponential growth with intrinsic growth constant ${\lambda _0}$ provided that there is a nonzero finite rank operator ${P_0}$ in $X$ such that ${\lim _{t \to \infty }}{e^{ - {\lambda _0}t}}T(t) = {P_0}$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for $T(t)$, $t \geqslant 0$, to have asynchronous exponential growth. Applications are made to a maturity-time model of cell population growth and a transition probability model of cell population growth.
