This paper involves a diffusive epidemic model whose domain has one free boundary with the Stefan boundary condition, and one fixed boundary subject to the usual homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann condition. By using the standard upper and…
This paper is devoted to the study of the persistence versus extinction of species in the reaction-diffusion equation: \begin{equation} u_t-\Delta u=f(t,x_1-ct,y,u) \quad\quad t>0,\ x\in\Omega,\nonumber \end{equation} where $\Omega$ is of…
We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)$ with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For…
A general reaction-diffusion equation with spatiotemporal delay and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is considered. The existence and stability of positive steady state solutions are proved via studying an equivalent…
In this paper, we focus our attention on the positive solutions to second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the form $u''+q(t)g(u)=0$, where $q$ is a sign-changing weight and $g$ is a superlinear function. We exploit the…
We study the question of existence of positive steady states of nonlinear evolution equations. We recast the steady state equation in the form of eigenvalue problems for a parametrised family of unbounded linear operators, which are…
We consider the Fast Diffusion Equation $u_t=\Delta u^m$ posed in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset \RR^d$ with homogeneous Dirichlet conditions; the exponent range is $m_s=(d-2)_+/(d+2)<m<1$. It is known that bounded positive…
We are concerned with the study of positive solutions to the Gierer-Meinhardt system $$ \begin{cases} \displaystyle -\Delta u+\lambda u=\frac{u^p}{v^q}+\rho(x) &\quad\mbox{ in }\mathbb{R}^N\, , N\geq 3,\\[0.1in] \displaystyle -\Delta v+\mu…
We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for equations with absorption of the form $-\Delta u+g\circ u=\mu$ in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset R^N$ where $g$ is a continuous odd monotone increasing function. Under some additional…
Consider classical solutions to the parabolic reaction diffusion equation $$ &u_t =Lu+f(x,u), (x,t)\in R^n\times(0,\infty); &u(x,0) =g(x)\ge0, x\in R^n; &u\ge0, $$ where $$ L=\sum_{i,j=1}^na_{i,j}(x)\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_i \partial…
In this paper we study a reaction diffusion problem with anisotropic diffusion and mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions on the boundary of the domain. First, we prove that the parabolic problem has a unique positive, bounded…
We prove new results on the existence of positive radial solutions of the elliptic equation $-\Delta u= \lambda h(|x|,u)$ in an annular domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}, N\geq 2$. Existence of positive radial solutions are determined under the…
The paper concerns with positive solutions of problems of the type $-\Delta u+a(x)\, u=u^{p-1}+\varepsilon u^{2^*-1}$ in $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\ge 3$, $2^*={2N\over N-2}$, $2<p<2^*$. Here $\Omega$ can be an exterior domain, i.e.…
We consider a linear size-structured population model with diffusion in the size-space. Individuals are recruited into the population at arbitrary sizes. The model is equipped with generalized Wentzell-Robin (or dynamic) boundary…
This work examines the global dynamics of classical solutions of a two-stage (juvenile-adult) reaction-diffusion population model in time-periodic and spatially heterogeneous environments. It is shown that the sign of the principal…
We study a monostable reaction-diffusion equation of the form $u_t=du_{xx}+f(u)$ over a semi-infinite spatial domain $[g(t),\infty)$, with $x=g(t)$ the free boundary whose evolution is governed by equations derived from a ``preferred…
In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear elliptic equation with gradient term: \[ \left\{ \begin{gathered} - \Delta u - \frac{1}{2}(x \cdot \nabla u) + (\lambda a(x)+b(x))u = \beta u^q +u^{2^*-1}, \hfill 0<u \in…
We will introduce the biological motivation of the $\gamma$- food-limited model with variable parameters. New criteria are established for the existence and global stability of positive periodic solutions. To prove the existence of…
Reaction-diffusion equations describe various spatially extended processes that unfold as traveling fronts moving at constant velocity. We introduce and solve analytically a model that, besides such fronts, supports solutions advancing as…
We prove the existence of positive periodic solutions for the second order nonlinear equation $u" + a(x) g(u) = 0$, where $g(u)$ has superlinear growth at zero and at infinity. The weight function $a(x)$ is allowed to change its sign.…
