Abstract
In this paper, we study a size-structured cannibalism model with environment feedback and delayed birth process. Our focus is on the asymptotic behavior of the system, particularly on the effect of cannibalism and time lag on the long-term dynamics. To this end, we formally linearize the system around a steady state and study the linearized system by C0-semigroup framework and spectral analysis methods. These analytical results allow us to achieve linearized stability, instability and asynchronous exponential growth results under some conditions. Finally, some examples are presented and simulated to illustrate the obtained stability conclusions.
