Popis: In this paper we study the probability density function solutions to a second-order pantograph equation with a linear dispersion term. The functional equation comes from a cell growth model based on the Fokker–Planck equation. We show that the equation has a unique solution for constant positive growth and splitting rates and construct the solution using the Mellin transform.
