This work analyses the homogenization of a linear elliptic equation with Neumann boundary conditions in a comb/brush domain, composed of a fixed base and a family of thin teeth. The teeth are defined as rescalings of order less than or…

We discuss a diffusively perturbed predator-prey system. Freedman and Wolkowicz showed that the corresponding ODE can have a periodic solution that bifurcates from a homoclinic loop. When the diffusion coefficients are large, this solution…

A major challenge in flow through porous media is to better understand the link between microstructure and macroscale flow and transport. For idealised microstructures, the mathematical framework of homogenisation theory can be used for…
We consider a diffusion process with coefficients that are periodic outside of an 'interface region' of finite thickness. The question investigated in the articles [1,2] is the limiting long time / large scale behaviour of such a process…

A linear system of differential equations describing a joint motion of elastic porous body and fluid occupying porous space is considered. Although the problem is linear, it is very hard to tackle due to the fact that its main differential…
