We study the long-time behavior of the solutions of a two-component reaction-diffusion system on the real line, which describes the basic chemical reaction $A <=> 2 B$. Assuming that the initial densities of the species $A, B$ are bounded…
We study a reaction-diffusion system on the real line, where the reactions of the species are given by one reversible reaction according to the mass-action law. We describe different positive limits at both sides of infinity and investigate…
We consider in this paper a microscopic model (that is, a system of three reaction-diffusion equations) incorporating the dynamics of handling and searching predators, and show that its solutions converge when a small parameter tends to $0$…
To understand the spreading and interaction of prey and predator, in this paper we study the dynamics of the diffusive Lotka-Volterra type prey-predator model with different free boundaries. These two free boundaries, which may intersect…
We study a spatial (two-dimensional) Rosenzweig-MacArthur model under the following assumptions: $(1)$ prey movement follows a nonlinear diffusion, $(2)$ preys have a refuge zone (sometimes called "protection zone") where predators cannot…

We expand on a previous study of fronts in finite particle number reaction-diffusion systems in the presence of a reaction rate gradient in the direction of the front motion. We study the system via reaction-diffusion equations, using the…
In this paper, we present an approach to characterising self-similar fast-reaction limits of systems with nonlinear diffusion. For appropriate initial data, in the fast-reaction limit as k tends to infinithy,spatial segregation results in…
We consider a special type of fast reaction-diffusion systems in which the coefficients of the reaction terms of the two substances are much larger than those of the diffusion terms while the diffusive motion to the substrate is negligible.…
In this note we present a study of the solutions associated to a particular spatial extension of the Rosenzweig-MacArthur model for predator and prey. The analysis presented here shows that positive steady state solutions emerge via a…
In this paper we introduce a formal method for the derivation of a predator's functional response from a system of fast state transitions of the prey or predator on a time scale during which the total prey and predator densities remain…
We consider a reaction-diffusion system for two densities lying in adjacent domains of $\mathbb{R}^N$. We treat two configurations: either a cylinder and its complement, or two half-spaces. Diffusion and reaction heterogeneities for the two…
The time-global unique solvability on the reaction diffusion equations for prey-predator models with density-dependent inhibitor and dormancy on predators is established. The crucial step of the proof is to construct time-local non-negative…
This paper is concerned with reaction-diffusion systems of two symmetric species in spatial dimension one, having two stable symmetric equilibria connected by a symmetric standing front. The first order variation of the speed of this front…
Diffusion-limited association reactions are ubiquitous in nature. They are particularly important for biological reactions, where the reaction rates are often determined by the diffusive transport of the molecules on two-dimensional…
