Mathematical analysis and numerical simulation of pattern formation under cross-diffusion

چکیده
Cross-diffusion driven instabilities have gained a considerable attention in the field of population dynamics, mainly due to their ability to predict some important features in the study of the spatial distribution of species in ecological systems. This paper is concerned with some mathematical and numerical aspects of a particular reaction–diffusion system with cross-diffusion, modeling the effect of allelopathy on two plankton species. Based on a stability analysis and a series of numerical simulations performed with a finite volume scheme, we show that the cross-diffusion coefficient plays a important role on the pattern selection. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Simulation of an epidemic model with nonlinear cross-diffusion
A spatially two-dimensional epidemic model is formulated by a reaction-diffusion system. The spatial pattern formation is driven by a cross-diffusion corresponding to a non-diagonal, uppertriangular diffusion matrix. Whereas the reaction terms describe the local dynamics of susceptible and infected species, the diffusion terms account for the spatial distribution dynamics. For both self-diffusi...
متن کاملSimulation of Pattern in a Delay and Cross-Diffusive Predation Model with the Allee Effect
In this paper, we consider the effect of time delay and cross diffusion on the dynamics of a predator-prey model with the Allee effect. We mainly investigate the stability of the homogeneous state points and give the conditions of time delay and cross diffusion driven instability in details. Furthermore, we illustrate the spatial patterns via numerical simulations, which show that the model dyn...

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...

متن کاملCellular Automata Simulation of a Bistable Reaction-Diffusion System: Microscopic and Macroscopic Approaches
The Cellular Automata method has been used to simulate the pattern formation of the Schlögl model as a bistable Reaction-Diffusion System. Both microscopic and macroscopic Cellular Automata approaches have been considered and two different methods for obtaining the probabilities in the microscopic approach have been mentioned. The results show the tendency of the system towards the more sta...
