Intra-specific competition in population dynamics can be described by integro-differential equations where the integral term corresponds to nonlocal consumption of resources by individuals of the same population. Already the single integro-differential equation can show the emergence of nonhomogeneous in space stationary structures and can be used to model the process of speciation, in particular, the emergence of biological species during evolution [S. Genieys et al., Math. Model. Nat. Phenom....

Le but de cet article est l’étude de la compétition Réaction-Diffusion pour un problème de type ${\displaystyle \beta {\left(w\right)}_t-d_{\epsilon }diva(x,Dw)+r_{\epsilon }g\left(x,\beta \left(w\right)\right)=f,}$ où $\mathbf{a}$ est un opérateur de Lerray-Lions, $\beta$ est une fonction continue croissante et la réaction $g$ est une fonction croissante qui dépend de l’espace $x$. On suppose que les coefficients de diffusion $d_{\epsilon }$ et de Réaction $r_{\epsilon }$ dépendent du paramètre $\epsilon$ avec $d_{\epsilon }$ et/ou $r_{\epsilon }$ tends vers $+\infty$ lorsque ${\displaystyle \epsilon \to 0}$. Dans le cas où, le coefficient de réaction est très rapide, nous étudions le comportement asymptotique lorsque ${\displaystyle t\to \infty }$ de la solution...

The paper presents the results of numerical solution of the evolution law for the constrained mean-curvature flow. This law originates in the theory of phase transitions for crystalline materials and describes the evolution of closed embedded curves with constant enclosed area. It is reformulated by means of the direct method into the system of degenerate parabolic partial differential equations for the curve parametrization. This system is solved numerically and several computational studies are...

The paper presents the results of numerical solution of the Allen-Cahn equation with a non-local term. This equation originally mentioned by Rubinstein and Sternberg in 1992 is related to the mean-curvature flow with the constraint of constant volume enclosed by the evolving curve. We study this motion approximately by the mentioned PDE, generalize the problem by including anisotropy and discuss the computational results obtained.

The nonlocal Fisher equation has been proposed as a simple model exhibiting Turing instability and the interpretation refers to adaptive evolution. By analogy with other formalisms used in adaptive dynamics, it is expected that concentration phenomena (like convergence to a sum of Dirac masses) will happen in the limit of small mutations. In the present work we study this asymptotics by using a change of variables that leads to a constrained Hamilton-Jacobi equation. We prove the convergence analytically...

In this work, we construct, by means of the function space interpolation theory, a natural norm for a generic linear coercive and non-symmetric operator. We look for a norm which is the counterpart of the energy norm for symmetric operators. The natural norm allows for continuity and inf-sup conditions independent of the operator. Particularly we consider the convection-diffusion-reaction operator, for which we obtain continuity and inf-sup conditions that are uniform with respect to the operator...

We consider optimal control problems for convection-diffusion equations with a pointwise control or a control localized on a smooth manifold. We prove optimality conditions for the control variable and for the position of the control. We do not suppose that the coefficient of the convection term is regular or bounded, we only suppose that it has the regularity of strong solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. We consider functionals with an observation on the gradient of the state. To obtain optimality...

We study the influence of natural convection on stability of reaction fronts in porous media. The model consists of the heat equation, of the equation for the depth of conversion and of the equations of motion under the Darcy law. Linear stability analysis of the problem is fulfilled, the stability boundary is found. Direct numerical simulations are performed and compared with the linear stability analysis.

We study the behaviour of the solutions of the Cauchy problem $$u_t={\left(u^m\right)}_{xx}+u\left(1-u^{m-1}\right),x\in \mathbb{R},t>0u\left(0,x\right)=u_0\left(x\right),u_0\left(x\right)\ge 0,$$ and prove that if initial data $u_0\left(x\right)$ decay fast enough at infinity then the solution of the Cauchy problem approaches the travelling wave solution spreading either to the right or to the left, or two travelling waves moving in opposite directions. Certain generalizations are also mentioned.

We develop a method for counting number of cells and extraction of approximate cell centers in 2D and 3D images of early stages of the zebra-fish embryogenesis. The approximate cell centers give us the starting points for the subjective surface based cell segmentation. We move in the inner normal direction all level sets of nuclei and membranes images by a constant speed with slight regularization of this flow by the (mean) curvature. Such multi- scale evolutionary process is represented by a geometrical...
