On convergence to equilibria for the Keller-Segel chemotaxis model

We show that any global-in-time bounded solution to the Keller-Segel chemotaxis model converges to a single equilibrium as time tends to infinity. The proof is based on a generalized version of the Lojasiewicz-Simon theorem.

A note on positive non-constant steady-state solutions to a reaction-diffusion model

In the present paper, we investigate a reaction-diffusion system with feedback effect subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition and study the positive steady-state solutions. We establish a priori estimates for positive steady-state solutions and derive some results for non-existence of positive non-constant steady-state solutions. Our analysis complements the existing results on this model.

Improvement of convergence to steady state solutions of Euler equations with weighted compact nonlinear schemes

The convergence to steady state solutions of the Euler equations for weighted compact nonlinear schemes (WCNS) [Deng X. and Zhang H. (2000), J. Comput. Phys. 165, 22-44 and Zhang S., Jiang S. and Shu C.-W. (2008), J. Comput. Phys. 227, 7294-7321] is studied through numerical tests. Like most other shock capturing schemes, WCNS also suffers from the problem that the residue can not settle down to machine zero for the computation of the steady state solution which contains shock waves but hangs at the truncation error level. In this paper, the techniques studied in [Zhang S. and Shu. C.-W. (2007), J. Sci. Comput. 31, 273-305 and Zhang S., Jiang S and Shu. C.-W. (2011), J. Sci. Comput. 47, 216-238], to improve the convergence to steady state solutions for WENO schemes, are generalized to the WCNS. Detailed numerical studies in one and two dimensional cases are performed. Numerical tests demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques when applied to WCNS. The residue of various order WCNS can settle down to machine zero for typical cases while the small post-shock oscillations can be removed.

S-Adapted Oligopoly Equilibria and Approximations in Stochastic Variational Inequalities

This paper deals with a class of dynamic games that are used for modelling oligopolistic competition in discrete time with random disturbances that can be described as an event tree with exogenously given probabilities. The concepts of S-adapted information structure and S-adapted equilibrium are reviewed and a characterization of the equilibrium as the solution of a variational inequality (VI) is proposed. Conditions for existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium are provided. In order to deal with the large dimension of the VI an approximation method is proposed which is based on the use of random sampling of scenarios in the event tree. A proof of convergence is provided and these results are illustrated numerically on two dynamic oligopoly models.     

Pattern formation in a variable diffusion predator–prey model with additive Allee effect

This paper deals with a variable diffusion predator–prey model with additive Allee effect. A good understanding of the existence of steady states is gained for the case  . The result shows that the reduce problem has multiple solutions. Moreover, by applying the singular perturbation method, we give a proof of existence of large amplitude solutions when  is sufficiently small.     

Numerical convergence on adaptive grids for control volume methods

An adaptive technique for control‐volume methods applied to second order elliptic equations in two dimensions is presented. The discretization method applies to initially Cartesian grids aligned with the principal directions of the conductivity tensor. The convergence behavior of this method is investigated numerically. For solutions with low Sobolev regularity, the found L² convergence order is two for the potential and one for the flow density. The system of linear equations is better conditioned for the adaptive grids than for uniform grids. The test runs indicate that a pure flux‐based refinement criterion is preferable.© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2008     

Tracking and controlling unstable steady states of dynamical systems

An adaptive controller for stabilization of unknown unstable steady states (spirals, nodes and saddles) of nonlinear dynamical systems is considered and its robustness under the changes of the location of the fixed point in the phase space is demonstrated. An analog electronic controller, based on a low-pass filter technique, is described. It can be easily switched between a stable and an unstable mode of operation for stabilizing either spirals/nodes or saddles, respectively. Numerical and experimental results for two autonomous systems, the damped Duffing–Holmes oscillator and the chaotic Lorenz system, are presented.     

A note on a diffusive predator-prey model and its steady-state system

In this note, a diffusive predator-prey model subject to the homogeneous Neumann bound- ary condition is investigated and some qualitative analysis of solutions to this reaction-diffusion system and its corresponding steady-state problem is presented. In particular, by use of a Lyapunov function, the global stability of the constant positive steady state is discussed. For the associated steady state problem, a priori estimates for positive steady states are derived and some non-existence results for non-constant positive steady states are also established when one of the diffusion rates is large enough. Consequently, our results extend and complement the existing ones on this model.
