Periodic Travelling Wave Selection by Dirichlet Boundary Conditions in Oscillatory Reaction-Diffusion Systems
Periodic travelling waves are a fundamental solution form in oscillatory reactiondiffusion equations. Here I discuss the generation of periodic travelling waves in a reaction-diffusion system of the generic λ-ω form. I present numerical results suggesting that when this system is solved on a semi-infinite domain subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions in which the variables are fixed at zero, ...
متن کاملA comparison of periodic travelling wave generation by Robin and Dirichlet boundary conditions in oscillatory reaction–diffusion equations
Periodic travelling waves are an important solution form in oscillatory reaction–diffusion equations. I have shown previously that such waves arise naturally near a boundary at which a Dirichlet condition is applied. This result has applications in ecology, providing a potential explanation for the periodic waves seen in a number of natural populations. However, in ecological applications the D...
متن کاملThe effects of unequal diffusion coefficients on periodic travelling waves in oscillatory reaction–diffusion systems
Many oscillatory biological systems show periodic travelling waves. These are often modelled using coupled reaction–diffusion equations. However, the effects of different movement rates (diffusion coefficients) of the interacting components on the predictions of these equations are largely unknown. Here we investigate the ways in which varying the diffusion coefficients in such equations alters...
متن کاملThe effects of obstacle size on periodic travelling waves in oscillatory reaction–diffusion equations
Many natural populations undergomulti-year cycles, and field studies have shown that these can be organized into periodic travelling waves (PTWs). Mathematical studies have shown that large-scale landscape obstacles represent a natural mechanism for wave generation. Here, we investigate how the amplitude and wavelength of the selected waves depend on the obstacle size.We firstly consider a larg...
متن کاملDirichlet Boundary Conditions Can Prevent Blow-up in Reaction-diffusion Equations and Systems
This paper examines the following question: Suppose that we have a reaction-diffusion equation or system such that some solutions which are homogeneous in space blow up in finite time. Is it possible to inhibit the occurrence of blow-up as a consequence of imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions, or of other effects where diffusion plays a role? We give examples of equations and systems where th...
