We prove that traveling waves in viscous compressible liquids are a generic phenomenon. The setting for our result is a horizontally infinite, finite depth layer of compressible, barotropic, viscous fluid, modeled by the free boundary…
A non-Markovian stochastic predator-prey model is introduced in which the prey are immobile plants and predators are diffusing herbivors. The model is studied by both mean-field approximation (MFA)and computer simulations. The MFA results a…
A spatial three level food web model with a closed nutrient cycle is presented and analyzed via Monte Carlo simulations. The time evolution of the model reveals two asymptotic states: an absorbing one with all species being extinct, and a…
This paper is concerned with a diffusive Lotka-Volterra type competition system with a free boundary in one space dimension. Such a system may be used to describe the invasion of a new species into the habitat of a native competitor. We…
This paper studies a pursuit-evasion problem involving a single pursuer and a single evader, where we are interested in developing a pursuit strategy that doesn't require continuous, or even periodic, information about the position of the…
Vegetation patterns are a ubiquitous feature of water-deprived ecosystems. Despite the competition for the same limiting resource, coexistence of several plant species is commonly observed. We propose a two-species reaction-diffusion model…
A sufficient condition for the stability of a system resulting from the interconnection of dynamical systems is given by the small gain theorem. Roughly speaking, to apply this theorem, it is required that the gains composition is…
We study existence, uniqueness and computability of solutions for a class of discrete time recursive utilities models. By combining two streams of the recent literature on recursive preferences---one that analyzes principal eigenvalues of…
We prove the existence of a traveling wave solution for a boundary reaction diffusion equation when the reaction term is the combustion nonlinearity with ignition temperature. A key role in the proof is plaid by an explicit formula for…
We give a variational proof of global stability for bistable travelling waves of scalar reaction-diffusion equations on the real line. In particular, we recover some of the classical results by P. Fife and J.B. McLeod without any use of the…
We consider a model of the predator--prey community with prey-taxis. By that we mean the capability of the predators to get moving in a certain direction on the macroscopic level in response to the prey density gradients. Additionally, we…
This paper is concerned with a diffusive predator-prey model with predator-taxis and prey-taxis. Based on the Schauder fixed point theorem, we prove the global existence, uniqueness and boundedness of the classical solutions under the…
Complex microbial habitats see the spatial competition of different clonal bacterial populations that switch between different phenotypes. Here, we determine the effect of this subpopulation structure on the invasion of one species by…
In a recent article [arXiv:1108.5127] Park has shown that the four-state predator-prey model studied earlier in [J. Stat. Mech, L05001 (2011)] belongs to Directed Percolation (DP) universality class. It was claimed that predator density is…
A discrete chemotactic predator-prey model is proposed in which the prey secrets a diffusing chemical which is sensed by the predator and vice versa. Two dynamical states corresponding to catching and escaping are identified and it is shown…
In this work we study the permanence and extinction of a regime-switching predator-prey model with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. The switching process is used to describe the random changing of corresponding parameters such as…
In this paper we consider a family of system with 2 predators feeding on one prey. We show how to construct a positively invariant set in which it is possible to define a Poincar\'e map for examining the behaviour of the system, mainly in…
A predator prey system is investigated in this research, which is based on a modified version of the Leslie Gower scheme and a Holling-type II scheme with time dependent delays. Using Schauder's fixed point theorem, we studied the existence…
We consider waves travelling in two different mediums each endowed with a different constant speed of propagation. At the interface between the two mediums, the refraction of the rays of the optic geometry is described by the…
Populations experience a complex interplay of continuous and discrete processes: continuous growth and interactions are punctuated by discrete reproduction events, dispersal, and external disturbances. These dynamics can be modeled by…
