Population Growth and Persistence in a Heterogeneous Environment: the Role of Diffusion and Advection

A. B. Ryabov, B. Blasius (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The spatio-temporal dynamics of a population present one of the most fascinating aspects and challenges for ecological modelling. In this article we review some simple mathematical models, based on one dimensional reaction-diffusion-advection equations, for the growth of a population on a heterogeneous habitat. Considering a number of models of increasing complexity we investigate the often contrary roles of advection and diffusion for the persistence of the population. When it is possible we demonstrate...

Positive solutions for concave-convex elliptic problems involving p ( x ) -Laplacian

Makkia Dammak, Abir Amor Ben Ali, Said Taarabti (2022)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions of the nonlinear equation - Δ p ( x ) u = λ k ( x ) u q ± h ( x ) u r in Ω , u = 0 on ∂ Ω where Ω ⊂ ℝ N , N ≥ 2 , is a regular bounded open domain in ℝ N and the p ( x ) -Laplacian Δ p ( x ) u : = div ( | ∇ u | p ( x ) - 2 ∇ u ) is introduced for a continuous function p ( x ) > 1 defined on Ω . The positive parameter λ induces the bifurcation phenomena. The study of the equation (Q) needs generalized Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces. In this paper, under suitable assumptions, we show that some variational methods still work. We use them to prove the existence of positive solutions...

Quasichemical Models of Multicomponent Nonlinear Diffusion

A.N. Gorban, H.P. Sargsyan, H.A. Wahab (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Diffusion preserves the positivity of concentrations, therefore, multicomponent diffusion should be nonlinear if there exist non-diagonal terms. The vast variety of nonlinear multicomponent diffusion equations should be ordered and special tools are needed to provide the systematic construction of the nonlinear diffusion equations for multicomponent mixtures with significant interaction between components. We develop an approach to nonlinear multicomponent...

Reaction-diffusion systems: Destabilizing effect of conditions given by inclusions

Jan Eisner (2000)

Mathematica Bohemica

Sufficient conditions for destabilizing effects of certain unilateral boundary conditions and for the existence of bifurcation points for spatial patterns to reaction-diffusion systems of the activator-inhibitor type are proved. The conditions are related with the mollification method employed to overcome difficulties connected with empty interiors of appropriate convex cones.

Reaction-diffusion systems: Destabilizing effect of conditions given by inclusions II, Examples

Jan Eisner (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

The destabilizing effect of four different types of multivalued conditions describing the influence of semipermeable membranes or of unilateral inner sources to the reaction-diffusion system is investigated. The validity of the assumptions sufficient for the destabilization which were stated in the first part is verified for these cases. Thus the existence of points at which the spatial patterns bifurcate from trivial solutions is proved.

Reaction-diffusion-convection problems in unbounded cylinders.

Rozenn Texier-Picard, Vitaly A. Volpert (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

The work is devoted to reaction-diffusion-convection problems in unbounded cylinders. We study the Fredholm property and properness of the corresponding elliptic operators and define the topological degree. Together with analysis of the spectrum of the linearized operators it allows us to study bifurcations of solutions, to prove existence of convective waves, and to make some conclusions about their stability.

Reaction-Difusion Model of Early Carcinogenesis: The Effects of Influx of Mutated Cells

Anna Marciniak-Czochra, Marek Kimmel (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this paper we explore a new model of field carcinogenesis, inspired by lung cancer precursor lesions, which includes dynamics of a spatially distributed population of pre-cancerous cells c(t, x), constantly supplied by an influx μ of mutated normal cells. Cell proliferation is controlled by growth factor molecules bound to cells, b(t, x). Free growth factor molecules g(t, x) are produced by precancerous cells and may diffuse before they become bound to other cells. The purpose of modelling is...
