Evolution in a changing environment: existence of solutions

P. Rybka, Q. Tang, D. Waxman (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We establish the existence of solutions of an intrinsically nonlinear differential-integral equation that arises from the mathematical modelling of the evolution of an asexual population in a changing environment. The main objective is to pave the way for a rigorous analysis of the linear stability of travelling wave solutions of the corresponding problem.

Evolution in a migrating population model

Włodzimierz Bąk, Tadeusz Nadzieja (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider a model of migrating population occupying a compact domain Ω in the plane. We assume the Malthusian growth of the population at each point x ∈ Ω and that the mobility of individuals depends on x ∈ Ω. The evolution of the probability density u(x,t) that a randomly chosen individual occupies x ∈ Ω at time t is described by the nonlocal linear equation u t = Ω φ ( y ) u ( y , t ) d y - φ ( x ) u ( x , t ) , where φ(x) is a given function characterizing the mobility of individuals living at x. We show that the asymptotic behaviour of u(x,t)...

Existence and global attractivity of periodic solutions in a higher order difference equation

Chuanxi Qian, Justin Smith (2018)

Archivum Mathematicum

Consider the following higher order difference equation x ( n + 1 ) = f ( n , x ( n ) ) + g ( n , x ( n - k ) ) , n = 0 , 1 , where f ( n , x ) and g ( n , x ) : { 0 , 1 , } × [ 0 , ) [ 0 , ) are continuous functions in x and periodic functions in n with period p , and k is a nonnegative integer. We show the existence of a periodic solution { x ˜ ( n ) } under certain conditions, and then establish a sufficient condition for { x ˜ ( n ) } to be a global attractor of all nonnegative solutions of the equation. Applications to Riccati difference equation and some other difference equations derived from mathematical biology are also given.

Existence and global attractivity of positive almost periodic solutions for a kind of fishing model with pure-delay

Tianwei Zhang, Yongzhi Liao (2017)

Kybernetika

By using some analytical techniques, modified inequalities and Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, some sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive almost periodic solution of a kind of fishing model with delay are obtained. Further, the global attractivity of the positive almost periodic solution of this model is also considered. Finally, three examples are given to illustrate the main results of this paper.

Existence and global attractivity of positive periodic solutions for a delayed competitive system with the effect of toxic substances and impulses

Changjin Xu, Qianhong Zhang, Maoxin Liao (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, a class of non-autonomous delayed competitive systems with the effect of toxic substances and impulses is considered. By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we derive a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions that guarantees the existence of at least one positive periodic solution, and by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, the uniqueness and global attractivity of the positive periodic solution are established.

Existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions of delayed Nicholson's blowflies models

Fei Long, Bingwen Liu (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper is concerned with a class of Nicholson's blowflies models with multiple time-varying delays. By applying the coincidence degree, some criteria are established for the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions of the model. Moreover, a totally new approach to proving the uniqueness of positive periodic solutions is proposed. In particular, an example is employed to illustrate the main results.
