Numerical schemes for size-structured population equations.
We formulate schemes for the numerical solution of size-dependent population models. Such schemes discretize size by means of a natural grid, which introduces a discrete dynamics. The schemes are analysed and optimal rates of convergence are derived. Some numerical experiments are also reported to demonstrate the predicted accuracy of the schemes.
