چکیده

We develop analytical and numerical tools for the equilibrium solutions of a class of reaction-diffusion models with nonlinear diffusion rates. Such equations arise from population biology and material sciences. We obtain global bifurcation diagrams for various nonlinear diffusion functions and several growth rate functions.

Population extinction and survival in a hostile environment.

We study the conditions for extinction and survival of populations living in a patch surrounded by a hostile environment. We find analytic expressions for the steady states when population dynamics is described by diffusion and reaction is driven by compensation, depensation, or critical depensation growths. The role of initial population density is studied, and the complete bifurcation diagram...

Global Bifurcation of Positive Equilibria in Nonlinear Population Models

Existence of nontrivial nonnegative equilibrium solutions for age structured population models with nonlinear diffusion is investigated. Introducing a parameter measuring the intensity of the fertility, global bifurcation is shown of a branch of positive equilibrium solutions emanating from the trivial equilibrium. Moreover, for the parameter-independent model we establish existence of positive...

Preload Effect on Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior of Aerodynamic Two-Lobe Journal Bearings

This paper presents the effect of preload on nonlinear dynamic behavior of a rigid rotor supported by two-lobe aerodynamic noncircular journal bearing. A finite element method is employed to solve the Reynolds equation in static and dynamical states and the dynamical equations are solved using Runge-Kutta method. To analyze the behavior of the rotor center in the horizontal and vertical directi...

Nonlinear Dynamics of the Rotational Slender Axially Moving String with Simply Supported Conditions

In this research, dynamic analysis of the rotational slender axially moving string is investigated. String assumed as Euler Bernoulli beam. The axial motion of the string, gyroscopic force and mass eccentricity were considered in the study. Equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle, resulting in two partial differential equations for the transverse motions. The equations are ch...

Positive Equilibrium Solutions for Age- and Spatially-Structured Population Models

The existence of positive equilibrium solutions to age-dependent population equations with nonlinear diffusion is studied in an abstract setting. By introducing a bifurcation parameter measuring the intensity of the fertility it is shown that a branch of (positive) equilibria bifurcates from the trivial equilibrium. In some cases the direction of bifurcation is analyzed.
