Solid fuel ignition models, for which the dynamics of the temperature is independent of the single-species mass fraction, attempt to follow the dynamics of an explosive event. Such models may take the form of singular, degenerate,…
We propose here a new model to describe biological invasions in the plane when a strong diffusion takes place on a line. We establish the main properties of the system, and also derive the asymptotic speed of spreading in the direction of…
Contour integrals in the complex plane are the basis of effective numerical methods for computing matrix functions, such as the matrix exponential and the Mittag-Leffler function. These methods provide successful ways to solve partial…
We investigate the large time behavior of solutions of reaction-diffusion equations with general reaction terms in periodic media. We first derive some conditions which guarantee that solutions with compactly supported initial data invade…
This paper studies a bulk-surface reaction-diffusion system for cell polarization in two-dimensional domains. The model describes the formation of localized patterns through the wave-pinning mechanism, while explicitly incorporating the…
Kopeliovich's suggestion [nucl-th/0306044] to perform nuclear geometry (Glauber) calculations using different cross sections according to the experimental configuration is quite different from the standard practice of the last 20 years and…
We propose an invasion model where domains grow up to their convex hulls and merge when they overlap. This model can be seen as a continuum and isotropic counterpart of bootstrap percolation models. From numerical investigations of the…
Invasion waves are a fundamental building block of theoretical ecology. In this study we aim to take the first steps to link propagation failure and fast acceleration of traveling waves to critical transitions (or tipping points). The…
In this paper we develop mathematical models for collective cell motility. Initially we develop a model using a linear diffusion-advection type equation and fit the parameters to data from cell motility assays. This approach is helpful in…
We investigate a recently proposed cross-diffusion system modelling the growth of gliobastoma taking into account size exclusion both in the migration and proliferation process. In addition to degenerate nonlinear cross-diffusion the model…
This paper is a continuation of [2] where a new model of biological invasions in the plane directed by a line was introduced. Here we include new features such as transport and reaction terms on the line. Their interaction with the pure…
Models of invasive species spread often assume that landscapes are spatially homogeneous; thus simplifying analysis but potentially reducing accuracy. We extend a recently developed partial differential equation model for invasive conifer…
The Fisher-KPP equation is a reaction-diffusion equation originally proposed by Fisher to represent allele propagation in genetic hosts or population. It was also proposed by Kolmogorov for more general applications. A novel method for…
The famous Fisher-KPP reaction diffusion model combines linear diffusion with the typical Fisher-KPP reaction term, and appears in a number of relevant applications. It is remarkable as a mathematical model since, in the case of linear…
Starting from the working hypothesis that both physics and the corresponding mathematics and in particular geometry have to be described by means of discrete concepts on the Planck-scale, one of the many problems one has to face in this…
We consider an epidemic model with distributed-contacts. When the contact kernel concentrates, one formally reaches a very degenerate Fisher-KPP equation with a diffusion term that is not in divergence form. We make an exhaustive study of…
We consider a periodic reaction diffusion system which, because of competition between $u$ and $v$, does not enjoy the comparison principle. It also takes into account mutations, allowing $u$ to switch to $v$ and vice versa. Such a system…
We provide an asymptotic analysis of a fractional Fisher-KPP type equation in periodic non-connected 1-dimensional media with Dirichlet conditions outside the domain. After demonstrating the existence and uniqueness of a non-trivial bounded…
In this paper we present a method for estimating unknown parameter that appear on a non-linear reaction-diffusion model of cancer invasion. This model considers that tumor-induced alteration of micro-enviromental pH provides a mechanism for…
Suppose that a $d$-dimensional domain is filled with a gas of (in general, interacting) diffusive particles with density $n_0$. A particle is absorbed whenever it reaches the domain boundary. Employing macroscopic fluctuation theory, we…
