# Time asymptotic behaviour for Rotenberg's model with Maxwell boundary conditions

• In this paper we discuss the large time behavior of the solution to the Cauchy problem governed by a transport equation with Maxwell boundary conditions arising in growing cell population in $L^1$-spaces. Our result completes previous ones established in [3] in $L^p$-spaces with $1 < p < \infty$.
