Evolution of a universe with homogeneous extra dimensions is studied with the benefit of a well-chosen parameter space that provides a systematic, useful, and convenient way for analysis. In this model we find a natural evolution pattern…
The replicator-mutator equation is a model for populations of individuals carrying different traits, with a fitness function mediating their ability to replicate, and a stochastic model for mutation. We derive analytical solutions for the…

We study the planar front solution for a class of reaction diffusion equations in multidimensional space in the case when the essential spectrum of the linearization in the direction of the front touches the imaginary axis. At the linear…

The principle of linearized stability and instability is established for a classical model describing the spatial movement of an age-structured population with nonlinear vital rates. It is shown that the real parts of the eigenvalues of the…

We propose an extension of the classical variational theory of evolution equations that accounts for dynamics also in possibly non-reflexive and non-separable spaces. The pivoting point is to establish a novel variational structure, based…
It is well known that life on Earth alters its environment over evolutionary and geological timescales. An important open question is whether this is a result of evolutionary optimization or a universal feature of life. In the latter case,…
Toward explaining the persistence of biased inferences, we propose a framework to evaluate competing (mis)specifications in strategic settings. Agents with heterogeneous (mis)specifications coexist and draw Bayesian inferences about their…
We study a reaction-diffusion equation with an integral term describing nonlocal consumption of resources. We show that a homogeneous equilibrium can lose its stability resulting in appearance of stationary spatial structures. It is a new…
The global boundness, existence and uniqueness are presented for the kind of Rosseland equation with a small parameter. This problem comes from conduction-radiation coupled heat transfer in the composites; it's with coefficients of high…
We investigate the Boltzmann equation with spatial smearing, diffusive boundary conditions, and Lions' collision kernel. Both, the physical as well as the velocity space, are assumed to be bounded. Existence and uniqueness of a stationary…
Existence of mass-conserving self-similar solutions to collision-induced breakage equation is shown for a specific class of homogeneous collision kernels and breakage functions. The proof mainly relies on a dynamical approach and…

It is known that solutions of nonlocal dispersal evolution equations do not become smoother in space as time elapses. This lack of space regularity would cause a lot of difficulties in studying transition fronts in nonlocal equations. In…
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…
