Abstract: Various structured population models lead to initial–boundary value problems for balance laws, often equipped with non-local boundary conditions. First, the present talks overviews recent results on the well posedness of such models. Different analytic environments are considered, i.e., measure spaces and sets of BV functions. In the latter case, examples are shown where a realistic modeling requires renewal equations to be set on graphs. Then, various control problems are stated and, where possible, an effective strategy to tackle them is proposed and pursued.
