Explicit solutions of Fisher's equation with three zeros.
We study delay shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks without almost periodic coefficients. Some sufficient conditions are established to ensure that all solutions of the networks converge exponentially to an almost periodic function. This complements previously known results.
We show that the entropy method, that has been used successfully in order to prove exponential convergence towards equilibrium with explicit constants in many contexts, among which reaction-diffusion systems coming out of reversible chemistry, can also be used when one considers a reaction-diffusion system corresponding to an irreversible mechanism of dissociation/recombination, for which no natural entropy is available.

We consider nonautonomous competitive Kolmogorov systems, which are generalizations of the classical Lotka-Volterra competition model. Applying Ahmad and Lazer's definitions of lower and upper averages of a function, we give an average condition which guarantees that all but one of the species are driven to extinction.
A two species non-autonomous competitive phytoplankton system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response and the effect of toxic substances is proposed and studied in this paper. Sufficient conditions which guarantee the extinction of a species and global attractivity of the other one are obtained. The results obtained here generalize the main results of Li and Chen [Extinction in two dimensional nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra systems with the effect of toxic substances, Appl. Math. Comput. 182(2006)684-690]....
Gutman and Wagner proposed the concept of the matching energy which is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the zeros of the matching polynomial of a graph. And they pointed out that the chemical applications of matching energy go back to the 1970s. Let T be a tree with n vertices. In this paper, we characterize the trees whose complements have the maximal, second-maximal and minimal matching energy. Furthermore, we determine the trees with edge-independence number p whose complements have...
