We study a generalized motion planning problem involving multiple autonomous robots navigating in a $d$-dimensional Euclidean space in the presence of a set of obstacles whose positions are unknown a priori. Each robot is required to visit…
The spatial arrangement of individuals is thought to overcome the dilemma of cooperation: When cooperators engage in clusters they might share the benefit of cooperation while being more protected against non-cooperating individuals, which…
The need to harmonise apparently irreconcilable arrangements in an ecosystem --nestedness and segregation-- has triggered so far different strategies. Methodological refinements, or the inclusion of behavioural preferences to the network…
Generalizing the cyclically competing three-species model (often referred to as the rock-paper-scissors game), we consider a simple system of population dynamics without spatial structures that involves four species. Unlike the previous…
To understand the biodiversity of an ecosystem cannot be understood by solely analyzing the pair relations of competing species. Instead, we should consider multi-point interactions because the presence of a third party could change the…
This paper deals with the existence, multiplicity, minimal complexity and global structure of the subharmonic solutions to a class of planar Hamiltonian systems with periodic coefficients, being the classical predator-prey model of V.…
In many natural situations one observes a local system with many competing species which is coupled by weak immigration to a regional species pool. The dynamics of such a system is dominated by its stable and uninvadable (SU) states. When…
The problem of natural selection in dispersal-structured populations consisting of individuals characterized by different diffusion coefficients is studied. The competition between the organisms is taken into account through the assumption…
In this paper, we study a free boundary problem for a class of nonlinear nonautonomous size structured population model. Using the comparison principle and upper lower solution methods, we establish the existence of the solution for such…
We consider a port-Hamiltonian system on a spatial domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ that is bounded with Lipschitz boundary. We show that there is a boundary triple associated to this system. Hence, we can characterize all boundary…
In this Letter, we study how cooperation is organized in complex topologies by analyzing the evolutionary (replicator) dynamics of the Prisoner's Dilemma, a two-players game with two available strategies, defection and cooperation, whose…
We introduce the notion of a multidimensional hybrid preference domain on a (finite) set of alternatives that is a Cartesian product of finitely many components. We demonstrate that in a model of public goods provision, multidimensional…
We investigate the power of censoring techniques, first developed for learning {\em fair representations}, to address domain generalization. We examine {\em adversarial} censoring techniques for learning invariant representations from…
We consider a rational system of first order difference equations in the plane with four parameters such that all fractions have a common denominator. We study, for the different values of the parameters, the global and local properties of…
We propose a stationary system that might be regarded as a migration model of some population abandoning their original place of abode and becoming part of another population, once they reach the interface boundary. To do so, we show a…
In this work, we show how to obtain a free boundary problem as the limit of a fully non linear elliptic system of equations that models population segregation (Gause-Lotka-Volterra type). We study the regularity of the solutions. In…
Mutualisms are key for structuring ecological communities, but they are sensitive to environmental change and fluctuations in population size. Consequently, how mutualisms achieve stability remains an open question in ecological theory.…
We study a simple swarming model on a two-dimensional lattice where the self-propelled particles exhibit a tendency to align ferromagnetically. Volume exclusion effects are present: particles can only hop to a neighboring node if the node…
In this paper, we investigate so-called forced wave solutions of a three components reaction-diffusion system from population dynamics. Our system involves three species that are respectively two competing preys and one predator; moreover,…
We introduce a new coordination problem in distributed computing that we call the population stability problem. A system of agents each with limited memory and communication, as well as the ability to replicate and self-destruct, is…
