Cauchy problem for a system of dynamics of biological groups

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a class of degenerate diffusion systems which arise from modelling interacting evolution of two biological groups. Especially, some interesting properties, such as non-extinction, coexistence, expansion of the living spaces, etc. are proved.     

On the Sharpness and Bias of Quantum Effects

The question of quantifying the sharpness (or unsharpness) of a quantum mechanical effect is investigated. Apart from sharpness, another property, bias, is found to be relevant for the joint measurability or coexistence of two effects. Measures of bias will be defined and examples given.     

Existence and uniqueness of coexistence states for an elliptic system coupled in the linear part

In this paper, we discuss the existence, uniqueness and stability of coexistence states for an elliptic system coupled in the linear part. The linear part of this system is co-operative. Our approaches are based on the maximum principle and some properties of linear cooperative system.     

Peculiarities in the behavior of the entropy diameter for molecular liquids as the reflection of molecular rotations and the excluded volume effects

The behavior of the diameter of the coexistence curve in terms of the entropy and the corresponding diameter are investigated. It is shown that the diameter of the coexistence curve in terms of the entropy is sensitive to the change in the character of the rotational motion of the molecule in liquid phase which is governed by the short range correlations. The model of the compressible effective volume is proposed to describe the phase coexistence both in terms of the density and the entropy.     

Bottom up and top down effect on toxin producing phytoplankton and its consequence on the formation of plankton bloom

We consider a plankton-nutrient interaction model consisting of phytoplankton, zooplankton and dissolved limiting nutrient with general nutrient uptake functions and instantaneous nutrient recycling. In this model, it is assumed that phytoplankton releases toxic chemical for self defense against their predators. The model system is studied analytically and the threshold values for the existence and stability of various steady states are worked out. It is observed that if the maximal zooplankton conversion rate crosses a certain critical value, the system enters into Hopf bifurcation. Finally it is observed that to control the planktonic bloom and to maintain stability around the coexistence equilibrium we have to control the nutrient input rate specially caused by artificial eutrophication. In case if it is not possible to control the nutrient input rate, one could use toxic phytoplankton to prevent the recurrence bloom.     

Double Hopf bifurcation induces coexistence of periodic oscillations in a diffusive Ginzburg–Landau model

We perform bifurcation analysis in a complex Ginzburg–Landau system with delayed feedback under the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We calculate the amplitude death region, and it turns out that the boundary of the amplitude death region consists of two Hopf bifurcation curves with wave number zero. The existence conditions for double Hopf bifurcations are established. Taking the feedback strength and time delay as bifurcation parameters, normal forms truncated to the third order at double Hopf singularity are derived, and the unfolding near the critical points is given. The bifurcation diagram near the double Hopf bifurcation is drawn in the two-parameter plane. The phenomena of amplitude death, the existence of stable bifurcating periodic solutions, and the coexistence of two stable periodic solutions with fast oscillation and slow oscillation respectively are simulated.     

Coexistence states of a Holling type-II predator-prey system

This paper characterize the existence of coexistence states to a reaction-diffusion predator-prey model with Holling type-II functional response subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of coexistence states by fixed point index theory and bifurcation theory.

Bifurcation and stability of a two-species reaction–diffusion–advection competition model

This paper is concerned with the dynamics of a two-species reaction–diffusion–advection competition model subject to the no-flux boundary condition in a bounded domain. By the signs of the associated principal eigenvalues, we derive the existence and local stability of the trivial and semi-trivial steady-state solutions. Moreover, the nonexistence and existence of the coexistence steady-state solutions stemming from the two boundary steady states are obtained as well. In particular, we describe the feature of the coincidence of bifurcating coexistence steady-state solution branches. At the same time, the effect of advection on the stability of the bifurcating solution is also investigated, and our results suggest that the advection term may change the stability. Finally, we point out that the methods we applied here are mainly based on spectral analysis, perturbation theory, comparison principle, monotone theory, Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction, and bifurcation theory.     

Positive steady states of the S–K–T competition model with spatially heterogeneous interactions

This paper is concerned about the S–K–T competition model with spatially heterogeneous interactions, in which the two competing species are identical in all aspects except for their interspecific competitions. Under small variations of interspecific competitions, a good understanding of the dynamics and the structure of the set of steady states is gained by the Lyapunov–Schmidt procedure and detailed analysis. The results reveal that the role that the spatial heterogeneity plays in the coexistence of the competing species can be rather interesting and complicated. Either stable or unstable coexistence state can be produced by suitable spatial heterogeneity, so the spatial heterogeneity can be either favorable or unfavorable for the coexistence of competing species.
