The coercitivity of elliptic sesquilinear forms on the Sobolev spaces [Abstract of thesis]
A competition-diffusion system, where populations of healthy and malignant cells compete and move on a neutral matrix, is analyzed. A coupled system of degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations is derived through a scaling procedure from the microscopic, Markovian dynamics. The healthy cells move much slower than the malignant ones, such that no diffusion for their density survives in the limit. The malignant cells may locally accumulate, while for the healthy ones an exclusion rule is considered....
We are concerned with the structure of the operator corresponding to the Lax–Friedrichs method. At first, the phenomenae which may arise by the naive use of the Lax–Friedrichs scheme are analyzed. In particular, it turns out that the correct definition of the method has to include the details of the discretization of the initial condition and the computational domain. Based on the results of the discussion, we give a recipe that ensures that the number of extrema within the discretized version of...
