contents In this paper, we study the turnpike property in age structured population dynamics with birth control. These models describe the temporal evolution of one or more populations, incorporating age dependence and spatial structure. To this end, we first establish the null controllability of the system: we prove that for any T > A and any initial datum in L2(Omega x (0,A)), the population can be driven to zero using control functions that are spatially localized in time but act only at age a = 0. We then show that although this control is initially applied only at birth, it can be reformulated as a distributed control, and we demonstrate that the resulting control operator is admissible in the state space. Thus, to prove the turnpike property we combine our null controllability results with Phillips' theorem on exponential stability to design a suitable dichotomy transformation based on solutions of the algebraic Riccati and Lyapunov equations. Finally, we present numerical examples that substantiate our analytical findings.
