Abstract
We reduce the extended MacKendrick-Von Foerster formalism of Gurney and Nisbet-an initial boundary value problem-to the solution of a single Volterra integral equation with a constant time lag. We then establish the existence, uniqueness and continuation of solutions for all t > 0, and reduce a simplified version of this model to a time-delay version of the classical MacKendrick model, for which the standard stability results for persistent distributions are available.
