A parallel method for population balance equations based on the method of characteristics

Li, Yu, Lin, Qun, Xie, Hehu

Similarity:

In this paper, we present a parallel scheme to solve the population balance equations based on the method of characteristics and the finite element discretization. The application of the method of characteristics transform the higher dimensional population balance equation into a series of lower dimensional convection-diffusion-reaction equations which can be solved in a parallel way. Some numerical results are presented to show the accuracy and efficiency.

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

Similarity:

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...

Adaptive dynamics in logistic branching populations

Nicolas Champagnat, Amaury Lambert (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The biological theory of adaptive dynamics proposes a description of the long-time evolution of an asexual population, based on the assumptions of large population, rare mutations and small mutation steps. Under these assumptions, the evolution of a quantitative dominant trait in an isolated population is described by a deterministic differential equation called 'canonical equation of adaptive dynamics'. In this work, in order to include the effect of genetic drift in this model, we...

Similarity:

In this note, we consider a nonlinear diffusion equation with a bistable reaction term arising in population dynamics. Given a rather general initial data, we investigate its behavior for small times as the reaction coefficient tends to infinity: we prove a generation of interface property.

En este trabajo se estudia de modo analítico y numérico un problema en ecuaciones diferenciales en derivadas parciales que modela la dinámica de dos poblaciones afectadas por la presión poblacional inter e intraespecíficas y por un potencial medioambiental. Debido a los términos de difusión cruzada, el problema es fuertemente no lineal por lo que el principio del máximo y los métodos relacionados con el mismo no pueden ser aplicados. En primer lugar demostramos la existencia de soluciones...
