Non‐local differential equations are notoriously difficult to solve. Cell‐growth models for population growth of a cohort structured by size, simultaneously growing and dividing, give rise to a class of non‐local eigenvalue problems, whose “principal” eigenvalue is the time‐constant for growth/decay. These and other novel non‐local problems are described and solved in special cases in this paper. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
