A generalised framework for building complex networks of evolution equations

From MaRDI portal





In this work a new type of mathematical model is developed, in order to study population dynamics of one or several species which are spatially distributed on a network disjoint domains (or patches), with inter-connectivity among different domains, which may be due to migrations or intoduction of invasive species. Each patch is a domain in a \(d\)-dimensional space, and a reaction-diffusion equation is associated with the domain. Migrations among domains can occur either from interior points or boundary points of each domain, arriving at a target point of another domain, and are mathematically described by integral kernels added to the reaction-diffusion equations. The authors prove fundamental well-posedness results about such models. They also undertake a detailed study of the example of a predator-prey system on several domains, presenting numerical simulations of such systems in various scenarios and showing interesting dynamical effects that this model leads to, and their ecological relevance.
