To model bio-chemical reaction systems with diffusion one can either use stochastic, microscopic reaction-diffusion master equations or deterministic, macroscopic reaction-diffusion system. The connection between these two models is not…
The dynamics of ecological as well as chemical systems may depend on heterogeneous configurations. Heterogeneity in reaction-diffusion systems often increase modelling and simulating difficulties when non-linear effects are present. One…

In this paper, we propose a kinetic model describing the collective motion by chemotaxis of two species in interaction emitting the same chemoattractant. Such model can be seen as a generalisation to several species of the Othmer-Dunbar-Alt…
The over-relaxation approach is an alternative to the Jin-Xin relaxation method (Jin and Xin [1]) in order to apply the equilibrium source term in a more precise way (Coulette et al. [2, 3]). This is also a key ingredient of the…

Hypocoercivity methods are applied to linear kinetic equations without any space confinement, when local equilibria have a sub-exponential decay. By Nash type estimates, global rates of decay are obtained, which reflect the behavior of the…
