The Dynamics of Localized Solutions of Non-local Reaction-diffusion Equations

چکیده

Many classes of singularly perturbed reaction-diiusion equations possess localized solutions where the gradient of the solution is large only in the vicinity of certain points or interfaces in the domain. The problems of this type that are considered are an interface propagation model from materials science and an activator-inhibitor model of morphogenesis. These two models are formulated as non-local partial diierential equations. Results concerning the existence of equilibria, their stability, and the dynamical behavior of localized structures in the interior and on the boundary of the domain are surveyed for these two models. By examining the spectrum associated with the linearization of these problems around certain canonical solutions, it is shown that the non-local term can lead to the existence of an exponentially small principal eigenvalue for the linearized problem. This eigenvalue is then responsible for an exponentially slow, or metastable, motion of the localized structure.

Exact Solution for Nonlinear Local Fractional Partial Differential Equations

In this work, we extend the existing local fractional Sumudu decomposition method to solve the nonlinear local fractional partial differential equations. Then, we apply this new algorithm to resolve the nonlinear local fractional gas dynamics equation and nonlinear local fractional Klein-Gordon equation, so we get the desired non-differentiable exact solutions. The steps to solve the examples a...

A note on blow-up in parabolic equations with local and localized sources

‎This note deals with the systems of parabolic equations with local and localized sources involving $n$ components‎. ‎We obtained the exponent regions‎, ‎where $kin {1,2,cdots,n}$ components may blow up simultaneously while the other $(n-k)$ ones still remain bounded under suitable initial data‎. ‎It is proved that different initial data can lead to different blow-up phenomena even in the same ...

Existence of Self-accelerating Fronts for a Non-local Reaction-diffusion Equations

We describe the accelerated propagation wave arising from a non-local reaction-diffusion equation. This equation originates from an ecological problem, where accelerated biological invasions have been documented. The analysis is based on the comparison of this model with a related local equation, and on the analysis of the dynamics of the solutions of this second model thanks to probabilistic m...

Positivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference Schemes for simulation of advection-diffusion reaction equations

Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...

Pullback D-attractors for non-autonomous partly dissipative reaction-diffusion equations in unbounded domains

At present paper, we establish the existence of pullback $mathcal{D}$-attractor for the process associated with non-autonomous partly dissipative reaction-diffusion equation in $L^2(mathbb{R}^n)times L^2(mathbb{R}^n)$. In order to do this, by energy equation method we show that the process, which possesses a pullback $mathcal{D}$-absorbing set, is pullback $widehat{D}_0$-asymptotically compact.
