In this work, we present a mathematical model to describe the adsorption-diffusion process on fractal porous materials. This model is based on the fractal continuum approach and considers the scale-invariant properties of the surface and…

Cross-diffusion systems play a central role in mathematical modelling, in which density-dependent dispersal and multiscale mechanisms can lead to spatial segregation and diffusion-driven instabilities. In several relevant examples,…
