Sharp rate of the accelerating propagation for a recursive system

From MaRDI portal





This article focuses on the rate of accelerating propagation in a unimodal recursive system with a heavy-tailed dispersal kernel. The study examines how recursive systems propagate over time, particularly focusing on the sharp rate of accelerating propagation.\N\NThe key mathematical model here studied is the unimodal recursive system: \N\[\Nu_{n + 1}(x) = r u_{n}(x) + \int_{\mathbb{R}}J(y)h\left(u_{n}(x-y)\right) dy,\N\]\Nwhere \(J\) is a dispersal kernel, \(r\) is a real number, and \(h\) is a unimodal function.\N\NThe authors build on prior research on spreading speeds in ecological and mathematical systems. Heavy-tailed dispersal kernels can lead to accelerating invasions, making the problem particularly interesting.\N\NThe authors provide a characterization of spreading speeds and discuss the sharp rate of acceleration which precisely quantifies the acceleration rate.\N\NThe paper establishes upper and lower bounds for the level sets using convolution estimates and tail asymptotics, proves the sharp rate by constructing appropriate super- and sub-solutions, and uses advanced probability techniques (e.g., tail additivity of probability densities) to rigorously derive results.\N\NThe authors resolve an open question on the sharp rate of accelerating propagation in recursive systems. The results have applications in population dynamics, epidemiology, and reaction-diffusion systems where spatial spread is crucial. Future research may explore non-unimodal or stochastic variations of the model.
