Pattern Formation of Competing Microorganisms in Sediments

Y. Schmitz, M. Baurmann, B. Engelen, U. Feudel (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We present a three species model describing the degradation of substrate by two competing populations of microorganisms in a marine sediment. Considering diffusion to be the main transport process, we obtain a reaction diffusion system (RDS) which we study in terms of spontaneous pattern formation. We find that the conditions for patterns to evolve are likely to be fulfilled in the sediment. Additionally, we present simulations that are consistent with experimental data from the literature. We...

Periodic orbits close to elliptic tori and applications to the three-body problem

Massimiliano Berti, Luca Biasco, Enrico Valdinoci (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy “twist” conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic invariant tori (of hamiltonian systems). We prove the applicability of this result to the spatial planetary three-body problem in the small eccentricity-inclination regime. Furthermore, we find other periodic orbits under some restrictions on the period and the masses...

Possibly Longest Food Chain: Analysis of a Mathematical Model

T. Matsuoka, H. Seno (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We consider the number of trophic levels in a food chain given by the equilibrium state for a simple mathematical model with ordinary differential equations which govern the temporal variation of the energy reserve in each trophic level. When a new trophic level invades over the top of the chain, the chain could lengthen by one trophic level. We can derive the condition that such lengthening could occur, and prove that the possibly longest chain is globally stable. In some specific cases,...

Pseudo-abelian integrals on slow-fast Darboux systems

Marcin Bobieński, Pavao Mardešić, Dmitry Novikov (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study pseudo-abelian integrals associated with polynomial deformations of slow-fast Darboux integrable systems. Under some assumptions we prove local boundedness of the number of their zeros.
