This is the second of two papers dedicated to the relationship between population models of competition and biodiversity. Here we consider species assembly models where the population dynamics is kept far from fixed points through the…
In this paper, we explore cooperative and competitive coupled obstacle systems, which, up to now, are new type obstacle systems and formed by coupling two equations belonging to classical obstacle problem. On one hand, applying the…
A model of six-species food web is studied in the viewpoint of spatial interaction structures. Each species has two predators and two preys, and it was previously known that the defensive alliances of three cyclically predating species…
We construct several pairwise-incomparable bounds on the projective dimensions of edge ideals. Our bounds use combinatorial properties of the associated graphs; in particular we draw heavily from the topic of dominating sets. Through…
If two species exhibit different nonlinear responses to a single shared resource, and if each species modifies the resource dynamics such that this favors its competitor, they may stably coexist. This coexistence mechanism, known as…
In order to model real ecological systems one has to consider many species that interact in complex ways. However, most of the recent theoretical studies have been restricted to few species systems with rather trivial interactions. The few…
Exploiting the mathematical curiosity of intransitive dice, we present a simple theoretical model for co-evolution that captures scales ranging from the genome of the individual to the system-wide emergence of species diversity. We study a…
We study the Monopolist's problem with a focus on the free boundary separating bunched from unbunched consumers, especially in the plane, and give a full description of its solution for the family of square domains $\{(a,a+1)^2\}_{a \ge…
The freeness of hyperplane arrangements in a three dimensional vector space over finite field is discussed. We prove that if the number of hyperplanes is greater than some bound, then the freeness is determined by the characteristic…
We study an individual-based model in which two spatially-distributed species, characterized by different diffusivities, compete for resources. We consider three different ecological settings. In the first, diffusing faster has a cost in…
An iteration-free method of domain decomposition is considered for approximate solving a boundary value problem for a second-order parabolic equation. A standard approach to constructing domain decomposition schemes is based on a partition…
In this paper we study combinatorial and algorithmic resp. complexity questions of upper domination, i.e., the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set in a graph. We give a full classification of the related maximisation and…
For generic maps from compact surfaces with boundary into the plane we develop an explicit algorithm for minimizing both the number of cusps and the number of components of the singular locus. More precisely, we minimize among maps with…
We perform individual-based Monte Carlo simulations in a community consisting of two predator species competing for a single prey species, with the purpose of studying biodiversity stabilization in this simple model system. Predators are…
In order to better understand the interplay of partnership and competition in population dynamics we study a family of generalized May-Leonard models with $N$ species. These models have a very rich structure, characterized by different…
The problem of autonomous navigation is one of the basic problems for robotics. Although, in general, it may be challenging when an autonomous vehicle is placed into partially observable domain. In this paper we consider simplistic…
In this paper, we are concerned with a two-species competitive model with diffusive terms on a periodically evolving domain and study the impact of the spatial periodic evolution on the dynamics of the model. The Lagrangian transformation…
We study a subclass of the May-Leonard stochastic model with an arbitrary, even number of species, leading to the arising of two competing partnerships where individuals are indistinguishable. By carrying out a series of accurate numerical…
We study the dominating set problem in an online setting. An algorithm is required to guarantee competitiveness against an adversary that reveals the input graph one node at a time. When a node is revealed, the algorithm learns about the…
In this paper, we inspect well-known population genetics and social dynamics models. In these models, interacting individuals, while participating in a self-organizing process, give rise to the emergence of complex behaviors and patterns.…
