Existence and uniqueness of solutions for a diffusion model of host–parasite dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Milner and Patton (J. Comput. Appl. Math., in press) introduced earlier a new approach to modeling host–parasite dynamics through a convection–diffusion partial differential equation, which uses the parasite density as a continuous structure variable. A motivation for the model was presented there, as well as results from numerical simulations and comparisons with those from other models. However, no proof of existence or uniqueness of solutions to the new model proposed was included there. In the present work the authors deal with the well posedness of that model and they prove existence and uniqueness of solutions, as well as establishing some asymptotic results. 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).

In this paper, using sub-supersolution argument, we prove an existence result on positive solution for an ecological model under certain conditions. It also describes the dynamics of the fish population with natural predation and constant yield harvesting. The assumptions are that the ecosystem is spatially homogeneous and the herbivore density is a constant which are valid assumptions for mana...
متن کاملUnconditionally Stable Difference Scheme for the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Rosenau-KdV Equation
In this paper we investigate a nonlinear evolution model described by the Rosenau-KdV equation. We propose a three-level average implicit finite difference scheme for its numerical solutions and prove that this scheme is stable and convergent in the order of O(τ2 + h2). Furthermore we show the existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions. Comparing the numerical results with other methods in...
