The analysis is performed on solutions of freely propagating premixed flames with detailed chemical kinetics involving 121 species and 682 reactions proposed by Jayaweera et al. For the non-homogeneous reaction-diffusion system, the chemical lifetime of each species is weighted by its diffusion timescale, and the characteristic flame timescale is used to normalize the chemical lifetime. The definition of sensitivity in LOI is extended so that multi-parameters can be used as sensitivity targets. Propane, oxygen, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), and flame speed are selected to be perturbed for sensitivity analysis, the species with low LOI index are removed, and reactions involving the redundant species are excluded from the mechanism. A skeletal mechanism is obtained, which consists of 57 species and 268 elementary reactions. Calculations for laminar flame speeds, key flame radicals and catalytic cycles using the skeletal mechanism are in good agreement with those by using the detailed mechanism over a wide range of equivalence ratio undoped and doped with DMMP.展开更多

Recently, the mathematical study on higher-dimensional traveling fronts has attracted a lot of attention and many new types of nonplanar traveling waves have been observed for scalar reaction-diffusion equations with various nonlinearities. In this paper, by using the comparison argument and constructing appropriate super- and subsolutions, we study the existence, uniqueness and stability of three- dimensional traveling fronts of pyramidal shape for monotone bistable systems of reaction-diffusion equations in R3. The pyramidal traveling fronts are characterized as either a combination of planar traveling fronts on the lateral surfaces or a combination of two-dimensional V-form waves on the edges of the pyramid. In particular, our results are applicable to some important models in biology, such as Lotk,u-Volterra competition-diffusion systems with or without spatio-temporal delays, and reaction-diffusion systems of multiple obligate mutualists.展开更多

Under initial perturbation that decays at space infinity, the perturbed solution converges to planar waves as t →∞. The convergence is uniform in Rn. Moreover, the stability of planar waves in reaction-diffusion equations with nonlocal delays is also established by transforming the delayed equations into a non-delayed reaction-diffusion system.展开更多

The present investigation deals with a spatial dynamics of the Beddington-DeAngelis predator-prey model in the presence of a constant proportion of prey refuge. The model system representing boundary value problem under study is subjected to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. The asymptotic stability including the local and the global stability and the bifurcation as well of the unique pos- itive homogeneous steady state of the corresponding temporal model has been analyzed. The Turing instability region in two-parameter space and the condition of diffusion- driven instability of the spatiotemporal model are investigated. Based on the appro- priate numerical simulations, the present model dynamics in Turing space appears to get influenced by prey refuge while it exhibits diffusion-controlled pattern formation growth to spots, stripe-spot mixtures, labyrinthine, stripe-hole mixtures and holes repli- cation. The results obtained appear to enrich the findings of the model system under consideration.展开更多

Then we study a general model. Using the comparing argument and sub-super-solutions method, we obtain the existence of entire solutions which behave as two wavefronts coming from the both sides of x-axis, where an entire solution is meant by a classical solution defined for all space and time variables. At last, we give some examples to explain our results for the general models.展开更多

This model refers to the quantification and the distribution of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in a river. The main contributions of this paper are: (i) the determination of the limit set of the system by applying the semigroups theory, it is shown that it is reduced to the solutions of the associated elliptic system (CDI)e, (ii) sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive solution of (CDI)e based on the Leray-Schauder's degree theory.

We numerically examine the Keller-Segel models with the volume-filling aggregation term and the receptor aggregation term in two dimensions. Spotted, striped and reversed spotted patterns are obtained as stable motionless equi- librium patterns. The relative stability of these patterns is studied numerically on the basis of the derived free energy. The intuitive understanding of these generated patterns and the relation with three-dimensional patterns are also discussed.展开更多

Quarantine is taken into consideration on the basis of SIS model. The asymptotic stability of the equilibrium to a reaction^diffusion system with homo- geneous Neumann boundary conditions is considered. Sufficient conditions for the local and global asymptotic stability are given by linearization and the method of upper and lower solutions and its associated monotone iterations. The result shows that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the contact rate is small.展开更多
