We study various combinations of active diffusion with branching, as an extension of standard reaction-diffusion processes. We concentrate on the selection of the asymptotic wavefront speed for thermal run-and-tumble and for thermal active…
Within the framework of Von Neumann's expanding model, we study the maximum growth rate r achievable by an autocatalytic reaction network in which reactions involve a finite (fixed or fluctuating) number D of reagents. r is calculated…
We study the mean time for a random walk to traverse between two arbitrary sites of the Erdos-Renyi random graph. We develop an effective medium approximation that predicts that the mean first-passage time between pairs of nodes, as well as…
We consider a multi-species reaction-diffusion system that arises in epidemiology to describe the spread of several strains, or variants, of a disease in a population. Our model is a natural spatial, multi-species, extension of the…
A diffusion taking value in probability measures on a graph with a vertex set $V$, $\sum_{i\in V}x_i\delta_i$, is studied. The masses on each vertices satisfy the stochastic differential equation of the form $dx_i=\sum_{j\in…
A reaction-diffusion equation is studied in a time-dependent interval whose length varies with time. The reaction term is either linear or of KPP type. On a fixed interval, it is well-known that if the length is less than a certain critical…
The spatially distributed reaction networks are indispensable for the understanding of many important phenomena concerning the development of organisms, coordinated cell behavior, and pattern formation. The purpose of this brief discussion…
A new upscaling procedure that provides 1D representations of 2D mixing-limited reactive transport systems is developed and applied. A key complication with upscaled models in this setting is that the procedure must differentiate between…
We undertake a detailed analysis of a reaction-advection-diffusion (RAD) equation from the viewpoint of pulse-response studies, with particular attention to effects due to the advection velocity. Our boundary-value problem is a mathematical…
We study a hybrid impulsive reaction-advection-diffusion model given by a reaction-advection-diffusion equation composed with a discrete-time map in space dimension $n\in\mathbb N$. The reaction-advection-diffusion equation takes the form…
Heat diffusion describes the process by which heat flows from areas with higher temperatures to ones with lower temperatures. This concept was previously adapted to graph structures, whereby heat flows between nodes of a graph depending on…
We consider random walks on random graphs, focusing on return probabilities and hitting times for sparse Erdos-Renyi graphs. Using the tree approach which is expected to be exact in the large graph limit, we show how to solve for the…
This paper studies the phenomenon of invasion for heterogeneous reaction-diffusion equations in periodic domains with monostable and combustion reaction terms. We give an answer to a question rised by Berestycki, Hamel and Nadirashvili in…
Epidemic disease spreading is conventionally often modelled and analyzed by means of rate and diffusion equations, following the paradigms of well-controlled chemical reactions and diffusive dynamics in a test tube. Yet, serious worries…
We take interest in a reaction-diffusion system which has been recently proposed [11] as a model for the effect of a road on propagation phenomena arising in epidemiology and ecology. This system consists in coupling a classical Fisher-KPP…
We study diffusion-type equations supported on structures that are randomly varying in time. After settling the issue of well-posedness, we focus on the asymptotic behavior of solutions: our main result gives sufficient conditions for…
Consider the time-dependent problem of mass transfer of a solute between two phases and assume that the solute is initially distributed in one phase (phase 2) and absent from the other (phase 1). We desire the fraction of total solute…
We analyze how the transient dynamics of large dynamical systems in the vicinity of a stationary point, modeled by a set of randomly coupled linear differential equations, depends on the network topology. We characterize the transient…
Healthy and sick individuals (A and B particles) diffuse independently with diffusion constants D_A and D_B. Sick individuals upon encounter infect healthy ones (at rate k), but may also spontaneously recover (at rate 1/\tau). The…
Second initial boundary problem in narrow domains of width $\epsilon\ll 1$ for linear second order differential equations with nonlinear boundary conditions is considered in this paper. Using probabilistic methods we show that the solution…
