On monotone and Schwarz alternating methods for nonlinear elliptic PDEs

Shiu-Hong Lui (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The Schwarz alternating method can be used to solve elliptic boundary value problems on domains which consist of two or more overlapping subdomains. The solution is approximated by an infinite sequence of functions which results from solving a sequence of elliptic boundary value problems in each of the subdomains. In this paper, proofs of convergence of some Schwarz alternating methods for nonlinear elliptic problems which are known to have solutions by the monotone method (also known as the method...

On Nonlinear Dynamics of Predator-Prey Models with Discrete Delay

S. Ruan (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this survey, we briefly review some of our recent studies on predator-prey models with discrete delay. We first study the distribution of zeros of a second degree transcendental polynomial. Then we apply the general results on the distribution of zeros of the second degree transcendental polynomial to various predator-prey models with discrete delay, including Kolmogorov-type predator-prey models, generalized Gause-type predator-prey models with harvesting, etc. Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations...

On Oscillatory Instability in Convective Burning of Gas-Permeable Explosives

I. Brailovsky, M. Frankel, L. Kagan, G. Sivashinsky (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The experimentally known phenomenon of oscillatory instability in convective burning of porous explosives is discussed. A simple phenomenological model accounting for the ejection of unburned particles from the consolidated charge is formulated and analyzed. It is shown that the post-front hydraulic resistance induced by the ejected particles provides a mechanism for the oscillatory burning.

On parameter estimation in an in vitro compartmental model for drug-induced enzyme production in pharmacotherapy

Jurjen Duintjer Tebbens, Ctirad Matonoha, Andreas Matthios, Štěpán Papáček (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

A pharmacodynamic model introduced earlier in the literature for in silico prediction of rifampicin-induced CYP3A4 enzyme production is described and some aspects of the involved curve-fitting based parameter estimation are discussed. Validation with our own laboratory data shows that the quality of the fit is particularly sensitive with respect to an unknown parameter representing the concentration of the nuclear receptor PXR (pregnane X receptor). A detailed analysis of the influence of that parameter...

On radially symmetric solutions of some chemotaxis system

Robert Stańczy (2009)

Banach Center Publications

This paper contains some results concerning self-similar radial solutions for some system of chemotaxis. This kind of solutions describe asymptotic profiles of arbitrary solutions with small mass. Our approach is based on a fixed point analysis for an appropriate integral operator acting on a suitably defined convex subset of some cone in the space of bounded and continuous functions.

On Representations of Algebraic Polynomials by Superpositions of Plane Waves

Oskolkov, K. (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

* The author was supported by NSF Grant No. DMS 9706883.Let P be a bi-variate algebraic polynomial of degree n with the real senior part, and Y = {yj }1,n an n-element collection of pairwise noncolinear unit vectors on the real plane. It is proved that there exists a rigid rotation Y^φ of Y by an angle φ = φ(P, Y ) ∈ [0, π/n] such that P equals the sum of n plane wave polynomials, that propagate in the directions ∈ Y^φ .

On singular perturbation problems with Robin boundary condition

Henri Berestycki, Juncheng Wei (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We consider the following singularly perturbed elliptic problem ϵ 2 Δ u - u + f ( u ) = 0 , u > 0 in Ω , ϵ u ν + λ u = 0 on Ω , where f satisfies some growth conditions, 0 λ + , and Ω N ( N > 1 ) is a smooth and bounded domain. The cases λ = 0 (Neumann problem) and λ = + (Dirichlet problem) have been studied by many authors in recent years. We show that, there exists a generic constant λ * > 1 such that, as ϵ 0 , the least energy solution has a spike near the boundary if λ λ * , and has an interior spike near the innermost part of the domain if λ > λ * . Central to our study is the corresponding problem...

On the age-dependent predator-prey model

Antoni Leon Dawidowicz, Anna Poskrobko, Jerzy Leszek Zalasiński (2011)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The paper deals with the description of a model which is the synthesis of two classical models, the Lotka-Volterra and McKendrick-von Foerster models. The existence and uniqueness of the solution for the new population problem are proved, as well the asymptotic periodicity but under some simplifying assumptions.
