Diffusion processes have been applied with great success to model the dynamics of large populations throughout science, in particular biology. One advantage is that they bridge two different scales: the microscopic and the macroscopic one.…
Following some recent works, we investigate the problem of optimising the total population size for logistic diffusive models with respect to resources distributions. Using the spatially heterogeneous Fisher-KPP equation, we obtain a…
We consider a nonlocal Fisher-KPP equation that models a population structured in space and in phenotype. The population lives in a heterogeneous periodic environment: the diffusion coefficient, the mutation coefficient and the fitness of…
We present a novel numerical method aimed to characterize global behaviour, in particular chaotic diffusion, in dynamical systems. It is based on an analysis of the Poincar\'e recurrence statistics on massive grids of initial data or values…
This paper starts from the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation to model diffusive populations. The main result, according to this model, is that two connected patches in a system do not always contribute to each other.…
Understanding the evolution of dispersal is an important issue in evolutionary ecology. For continuous time models in which individuals disperse throughout their lifetime, it has been shown that a balanced dispersal strategy, which results…
We present and analyze a space-time Petrov-Galerkin finite element method for a time-fractional diffusion equation involving a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order $\alpha\in(0,1)$ in time and zero initial data. We derive a…
A general model of age-structured population dynamics is developed and the fundamental properties of its solutions are analyzed. The model is a semilinear partial differential equation with a nonlinear nonlocal boundary condition.…
This paper, as the sequel to previous work, develops numerical schemes for fractional diffusion equations on a two-dimensional finite domain with triangular meshes. We adopt the nodal discontinuous Galerkin methods for the full spatial…
Reaction diffusion equations have been used to model a wide range of biological phenomenon related to population spread and proliferation from ecology to cancer. It is commonly assumed that individuals in a population have homogeneous…
Diffusion maps approximate the generator of Langevin dynamics from simulation data. They afford a means of identifying the slowly-evolving principal modes of high-dimensional molecular systems. When combined with a biasing mechanism,…
We solve a fractional diffusion equation using a piecewise-constant, discontinuous Galerkin method in time combined with a continuous, piecewise-linear finite element method in space. If there are $N$ time levels and $M$ spatial degrees of…
We consider a nonlinear coupled discrete-time model of population dynamics. This model describes the movement of populations within a heterogeneous landscape, where the growth of subpopulations are modelled by (possibly different) bounded…
A subdiffusion problem in which the diffusion term is related to a stable stochastic process is introduced. Linear models of these systems have been studied in a general way, but non-linear models require a more specific analysis. The model…
We discuss the existence of stationary solutions for logistic diffusion equations of Fisher-Kolmogoroff-Petrovski-Piskunov type driven by the superposition of fractional operators in a bounded region with "hostile" environmental conditions,…
This paper is devoted to the analysis of a numerical scheme for the coagulation and fragmentation equation with diffusion in space. A finite volume scheme is developed, based on a conservative formulation of the space nonhomogeneous…
We propose and analyze a time-stepping discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method combined with the continuous conforming finite element method in space for the numerical solution of time-fractional subdiffusion problems. We prove the existence,…
This paper considers the existence of local and global-in-time strong solutions to the advection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients on an evolving surface with a boundary. We apply both the maximal $L^p$-in-time regularity for…
An integro-differential equation on a tree graph is used to model the evolution and spatial distribution of a population of organisms in a river network. Individual organisms become mobile at a constant rate, and disperse according to an…
Over the past few decades, there has been substantial interest in evolution equations that involving a fractional-order derivative of order $\alpha\in(0,1)$ in time, due to their many successful applications in engineering, physics, biology…
