Abstract
A deterministic model for the growth of a size-structured proliferating cell population is analyzed. The developmental rates are allowed to vary with time. For periodically varying rates stability of the cell-size distribution is shown under similar conditions for the growth rate of individual cells as found before in the time-homogeneous case. Strongly positive quasicompact linear operators on Banach lattices serve as powerful abstract tools. Finally, the autonomous case is revisited and the conditions for stability found in [1] are relaxed.
