Patterns of Zooplankton Functional Response in Communities with Vertical Heterogeneity: a Model Study

A. Morozov, E. Arashkevich (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Parameterization of zooplankton functional response is crucial for constructing plankton models. Theoretical studies predict enhancing of system stability in case the response is of sigmoid type. Experiments on feeding in laboratories tell us in favor of non-sigmoid types for most herbivorous zooplankton species. However, recent field observations show that the overall functional response of zooplankton in the whole euphotic zone can exhibit a sigmoid behavior even when the response...

Potapov-Ginsburg Transformation and Functional Models of Non-Dissipative Operators

Zolotarev, Vladimir A., Hatamleh, Raéd (2009)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47A20, 47A45; Secondary 47A48. A relation between an arbitrary bounded operator A and dissipative operator A+, built by A in the following way A+ = A+ij*Q-j, where A-A* = ij*Jj, (J = Q+-Q- is involution), is studied. The characteristic functions of the operators A and A+ are expressed by each other using the known Potapov-Ginsburg linear-fractional transformations. The explicit form of the resolvent (A-lI)-1 is expressed by...

Asymptotic Behavior in a Salmonella Infection Model

K. Prévost, C. Beaumont, P. Magal (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Salmonella is one of the major sources of toxi-infection in humans in France and United States. The incidence of human salmonellosis has considerably increased over the past 20 years and this can be largely attributed to epidemics of S. enteritidis phage type 4 in poultry in numerous countries. In this article, we formulate and analyse a model in which the transmission of the disease is determined by contact between hens and Salmonella in the environment.
