Understanding how species persist under interacting stressors is a central challenge in ecology. We develop a spatially explicit reaction-diffusion framework to investigate competing species in landscapes shaped by climate variability,…
We investigate energy diffusion in long-range interacting spin systems, where the interaction decays algebraically as $V(r) \propto r^{-\alpha}$ with the distance $r$ between the sites. We consider prototypical spin systems, the transverse…
We prove the existence of solutions to a non-linear, non-local, degenerate equation which was previously derived as the formal hydrodynamic limit of an active Brownian particle system, where the particles are endowed with a position and an…
Diffusion of small particles is omnipresent in a plentiful number of processes occurring in Nature. As such, it is widely studied and exerted in almost all branches of sciences. It constitutes such a broad and often rather complex subject…
In this article, we study the optimization of resource distributions in a one-dimensional logistic diffusive model. The goal is to determine a distribution on a bounded one-dimensional domain that maximizes the total population at…
The possibility that the energy density of the Universe is dominated by a network of low-tension domain walls provides an alternative to the commonly discussed cosmological constant and scalar-field quintessence models of dark energy. We…
We study the influence of boundary conditions on stationary, periodic patterns in one-dimensional systems. We show how a conceptual understanding of the structure of equilibria in large domains can be based on the characterization of…
How diffusion impacts on ecological dynamics under the Allee effect and spatial constraints? That is the question we address. Employing a microscopic minimal model in a metapopulation (without imposing nonlinear birth and death rates) we…
We investigate a general class of models for swarming/self-collective behaviour in domains with boundaries. The model is expressed as a stochastic system of interacting particles subject to both reflecting boundary condition and common…
We consider a linear diffusion equation on $\Omega:=\mathbb{R}^2\setminus\bar{\Omega_\mathcal{O}}$, where $\Omega_\mathcal{O}$ is a bounded domain. The time-dependent flux on the boundary $\Gamma:=\partial\Omega_\mathcal{O}$ is prescribed.…
An inhomogeneous Kaluza-Klein compactification of a higher dimensional spacetime may give rise to an effective 4d spacetime with distinct domains having different sizes of the extra dimensions. The domains are separated by domain walls…
We formulate the swarming optimization problem as a weakly coupled, dissipative dynamical system governed by a controlled energy dissipation rate and initial velocities that adhere to the nonequilibrium Onsager principle. In this framework,…
The global-in-time existence of nonnegative bounded weak solutions to a class of cross-diffusion systems for two population species is proved. The diffusivities are assumed to depend linearly on the population densities in such a way that a…
We study critical surfaces for a surface energy which contains the squared $L^2$ norm of the difference of the mean curvature $H$ and the spontaneous curvature $c_o$, coupled to the elastic energy of the boundary curve. We investigate the…
For real world systems, nonuniform medium is ubiquitous. Therefore, we investigate the diffusion-limited-aggregation process on a two dimensional directed small-world network instead of regular lattice. The network structure is established…
We analytically and numerically study the effect of finite spatial boundaries on the Takayasu model of diffusing and aggregating particles with steady monomer input in one dimension. Exact expressions are derived for the steady-state…
We consider steady-state diffusion in a bounded planar domain with multiple small targets on a smooth boundary. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, we investigate the competition of these targets for a diffusing particle and…
Motivated by the observation that anomalous diffusion is a realistic feature in the dynamics of biological populations, we investigate its implications in a paradigmatic model for the evolution of a single species density $u(x,t)$. The…
We consider an aggregation model for two interacting species. The coupling between the species is via their velocities, that incorporate self- and cross-interactions. Our main interest is categorizing the possible steady states of the…
