We study an equation structured by age and a phenotypic trait describing the growth process of a population subject to aging, competition between individuals, and mutations. This leads to a renewal equation which occurs in many evolutionary…

Phase-field models of tumour growth have proved useful as theoretical tools to investigate cancer invasion. A key implicit assumption underlying mathematical models of this type which have so far been proposed, though, is that cells in the…
