After summarizing the underlying theoretical framework, we present several numerical examples as validation of the theory. Furthermore, we compare the results from a spline based approximation method and a delta function based approximation method for the inverse problem involving the estimation of the distributions of growth rates in size-structured mosquitofish populations. Convergence as well as sensitivity of the estimates with respect to noise in the data are discussed for both approximation methods.}, number={5-7}, journal={APPLIED NUMERICAL MATHEMATICS}, author={Banks, H.
