Global attractors associated with general partly dissipative reaction-diffusion systems in unbounded domains

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions for general partly dissipative reaction-diffusion systems in Rn is studied. The asymptotic compactness of the solutions and then the existence of the global attractor are proved in L2(Rn )× L2(Rn ) .

Global Bounded Solutions for Reaction-diffusion Systems with a Full Matrix of Diffusion Coefficients and a Balance Law

This paper deals with an initial boundary value problem for the strongly coupledreaction-diffusion systems with a full matrix of diffusion coefficients. The global existence ofsolutions is proved by using the techniques based on invariant regions, Lyapunov functionalmethods, and local Lp prior estimates independent of time.

Critical Fujita Exponents for Localized Reaction Diffusion Systems

In this paper, we prove the existence of cirtical Fujita exponents for a class of localized reaction diffusion systems.

Parameter identification through mode isolation for reaction-diffusion systems on arbitrary geometries

We present a computational framework for isolating spatial patterns arising in the steady states of reaction-diffusion systems. Such systems have been used to model many nat- ural phenomena in areas such as developmental and cancer biology, cell motility and material science. In many of these applications, often one is interested in identifying parameters which will lead to a particular pattern for a given reaction-diffusion model. To attempt to answer this, we compute eigenpairs of the Laplacian on a variety of domains and use linear stability analysis to determine parameter values for the system that will lead to spatially inhomogeneous steady states whose patterns correspond to particular eigenfunctions. This method has previously been used on domains and surfaces where the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are found analytically in closed form. Our contribution to this methodology is that we numerically compute eigenpairs on arbitrary domains and surfaces. Here we present examples and demonstrate that mode isolation is straightforward especially for low eigenvalues. Additionally, we show that in some cases the inhomogeneous steady state can be a linear combination of eigenfunctions. Finally,we show an example suggesting that pattern formation is robust on similar surfaces in cases that the surface either has or does not have a boundary.

Emergence of spatiotemporal chaos arising from far-field breakup of spiral waves in the plankton ecological systems

It has been reported that the minimal spatially extended phytoplankton-zooplankton system exhibits both temporal regular/chaotic behaviour, and spatiotemporal chaos in a patchy environment. As a further investigation by means of computer simulations and theoretical analysis, in this paper we observe that the spiral waves may exist and the spatiotemporal chaos emerge when the parameters are within the mixed Turing-Hopf bifurcation region, which arises from the far-field breakup of the spiral waves over a large range of diffusion coefficients of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Moreover, the spatiotemporal chaos arising from the far-field breakup of spiral waves does not gradually invade the whole space of that region. Our results are confirmed by nonlinear bifurcation of wave trains, We also discuss ecological implications of these spatially structured patterns.

Simultaneous Identification of Two Parameters on the Reaction Diffusion System from Discrete Measurement Data

This article deals with an inverse problem of reconstructing two time independent coefficients in the reaction diffusion system from the final time space discretized measurement using the optimization method with the help of the smooth interpolation technique.The main objective of the article is to analyse the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the inverse problem for the linearly coupled reaction diffusion system with respect to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition.

A critical transition rule for broadening exponent of fluctuation and its effect on dissipation in chemical reaction-heat conduction coupling systems

A stochastic model of chemical reaction-heat conduction-diffusion for a one-dimensional gaseous system under Dirichlet or zero-fluxes boundary conditions is proposed in this paper. Based on this model,we extend the theory of the broadening exponent of critical fluctuations to cover the chemical reaction-heat conduction coupling systems as an asymptotic property of the corresponding Markovian master equation (ME),and establish a valid stochastic thermodynamics for such systems. As an illustration,the non-isothermal and inhomogeneous Schl-gl model is explicitly studied. Through an order analysis of the contributions from both the drift and diffusion to the evolution of the probability distribution in the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation(FPE) in the approach to bifurcation,we have identified the critical transition rule for the broadening exponent of the fluctuations due to the coupling between chemical reaction and heat conduction. It turns out that the dissipation induced by the critical fluctuations reaches a deterministic level,leading to a thermodynamic effect on the nonequilibrium physico-chemical processes.
