Abstract
We consider a nonlinear integro-differential equation for prion proliferation that includes prion polymerization, polymer splitting, and polymer joining. The equation can be written as a quasilinear Cauchy problem. For bounded reaction rates we prove global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions by means of evolution operator theory. We also prove global existence of weak solutions for unbounded reaction rates by a compactness argument.
