Applicability of the Fisher equation to bacterial population dynamics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The applicability of the Fisher equation, which combines diffusion with logistic nonlinearity, to population dynamics of bacterial colonies is studied with the help of explicit analytic solutions for the spatial distribution of a stationary bacterial population under a static mask. The mask protects bacteria from ultraviolet light. The solution, which is in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions, is used to provide a practical prescription to extract Fisher equation parameters from observations and to decide on the validity of the Fisher equation.

Super operator Technique in Investigation of the Dynamics of a Two Non-Interacting Qubit System Coupled to a Thermal Reservoir
In this paper, we clarify the applicability of the super operator technique for describing the dissipative quantum dynamics of a system consists of two qubits coupled with a thermal bath at finite temperature. By using super operator technique, we solve the master equation and find the matrix elements of the density operator. Considering the qubits to be initially prepared in a general mixed st...
متن کاملQualitative Properties and Existence of Solutions for a Generalized Fisher-like Equation
This paper is devoted to the study of an eigenvalue second order differential equation, supplied with homogenous Dirichlet conditions and set on the real line. In the linear case, the equation arises in the study of a reaction-diffusion system involved in disease propagation throughout a given population. Under some relations upon the real parameters and coefficients, we present some existence ...
متن کاملStochastic functional population dynamics with jumps
In this paper we use a class of stochastic functional Kolmogorov-type model with jumps to describe the evolutions of population dynamics. By constructing a special Lyapunov function, we show that the stochastic functional differential equation associated with our model admits a unique global solution in the positive orthant, and, by the exponential martingale inequality with jumps, we dis...
