Ratio-dependent predator-prey models have been increasingly favored by field ecologists where predator-prey interactions have to be taken into account the process of predation search. In this paper we study the conditions of the existence…
We are concerned with the persistence of both predator and prey in a diffusive predator-prey system with a climate change effect, which is modeled by a spatial-temporal heterogeneity depending on a moving variable. Moreover, we consider…
We consider a class of cooperative reaction-diffusion systems with free boundaries in one space dimension, where the diffusion terms are nonlocal, given by integral operators involving suitable kernel functions, and they are allowed not to…
We study the persistence and propagation (or blocking) phenomena for a species in periodically hostile environments. The problem is described by a reaction-diffusion equation with zero Dirichlet boundary condition. We first derive the…
We consider the one-phase Stefan problem describing the evolution of melting ice. On the one hand, we focus on understanding the evolution of the free boundary near isolated singular points, and we establish for the first time upper and…
In this paper, we study a simplified version of a West Nile virus model discussed by Lewis et al. [28], which was considered as a first approximation for the spatial spread of WNv. The basic reproduction number $R_0$ for the non-spatial…
We study a simple model of a diffusing particle (the prey) that on encounter with one of a swarm of diffusing predators can either perish or be reset to its original position at the origin. We show that the survival probability of the prey…
This paper is concerned with spatial spreading dynamics of a nonlocal dispersal population model in a shifting environment where the favorable region is shrinking. It is shown that the species will become extinct in the habitat once the…
We derive various novel free boundary problems as limits of a coupled bulk-surface reaction-diffusion system modelling ligand-receptor dynamics on evolving domains. These limiting free boundary problems may be formulated as Stefan-type…

The classical Stefan problem is one of the most studied free boundary problems of evolution type. Recently, there has been interest in treating the corresponding free boundary problem with nonlocal diffusion. We start the paper by reviewing…
We consider a one-dimensional free boundary problem describing the migration of diffusants into rubber. In our setting, the free boundary represents the position of the front delimitating the diffusant region. The growth rate of this region…
Incorporating free boundary into time-delayed reaction-diffusion equations yields a compatible condition that guarantees the well-posedness of the initial value problem. With the KPP type nonlinearity we then establish a vanishing-spreading…
We study the degree of success of a single predator hunting a herd of prey on a two dimensional square lattice landscape. We explicitly consider the self volume of the prey restraining their dynamics on the lattice. The movement of both…
The Fisher-Stefan model involves solving the Fisher-KPP equation on a domain whose boundary evolves according to a Stefan-like condition. The Fisher-Stefan model alleviates two practical limitations of the standard Fisher-KPP model when…
