Abstract:
This research focuses on the reaction diffusion systems where the matrix of diffusion co- efficients is not diagonal. We call these systems reaction cross-diffusion systems. These systems possess interesting solutions that do not appear in the reaction self-diffusion systems that have a diagonal diffusion matrix. Compared to research conducted on re- action self-diffusion systems, the reaction cross-diffusion systems have received little attentions. The aim of this research is to extend existing literature on these systems. In this thesis we considered two-components reaction cross-diffusion s

Abstract:
This thesis is about pattern formation in reaction - diffusion equations, particularly Turing patterns and travelling waves. In chapter one we concentrate on Turing patterns. We give the classical approach to proving the existence of these patterns, and then our own, which uses the reversibility of the associated travelling wave equations when the wave speed is zero. We use a Lyapunov - Schmidt reduction to prove the existence of periodic solutions when there is a purely imaginary eigenvalue. We pay particular attention to the bifurcation point where these patterns arise, the 1: 1 resonance. W

Abstract:
Turing patterns have been studied for over 50 years as a pattern forming mechanism. To date the current focus has been on the reaction mechanism, with little to no emphasis on the diffusion terms. This work focuses on combining the simplest reaction mechanism possible and the use of nonlinear cross diffusion to form Turing patterns. We start by using two methods of bifurcation analysis to show that our model can form a Turing instability. A diffusion model (along with some variants) is then presented along with the results of numerical simulations. Various tests on both the numerical methods a

In this thesis we consider approximate travelling wave solutions for stochastic and generalised KPP equations and systems by using the stochastic elementary formula method of Elworthy and Truman.

The growing flow of people and goods around the globe has allowed new, non-native species to establish and spread in already fragile ecosystems. The introduction of invasive species can have a detrimental impact on the already established species. Thus, it is important that we understand the mechanisms that facilitate or prevent invasion. Since reaction-diffusion invasion models produce travelling waves we can study invasion by looking at the mechanisms that allow for wave propagation failure, or wave-blocking.

Assume that f(u) is a bistable nonlinear, then we consider the balanced case and unbalanced case respectively. In the preceding case, we describe some types of traveling waves connecting two stable equilibria. In the case of latter, we want to find out the bistable-type traveling waves with the interfaces other than plane. If the solution is restricted to be cylindrically symmetric, th

Abstract:
In this dissertation, we discuss spatiotemporal patterns in the wake of traveling waves in a microelectrode array (MEA) recording of a human epileptic seizure. In chapter two, we describe a method for estimating the direction of planar waves found in the last third of the seizure. We categorize the different phenomena that occur during those waves when projected along a one-dimensional slice in the domain. In chapter three, we summarize known examples of patterns in the wake of traveling wave solutions to reaction-diffusion systems. A brief review of results regarding the spectral stability

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>數學研究所<br>87<br>Reaction-Diffusion equations describe many models in mathematics,physics,chemistry,biology. For example, see D. J. Murray [7]. One of the most interesting discoveries in studying R-D equations is that traveling wave solutions not only appear in hyperbolic equations but also in parabolic equations. And traveling wave solutions are always important solutions, We divide this paper into two parts. In the first part, we describe maximum principles, stability, existence, uniqueness, uniform convergence of traveling wave solutions of one dimensional R-D equat

博士<br>國立交通大學<br>應用數學系所<br>98<br>This dissertation investigates the existence of traveling wave solutions in Reaction Diffusion system using geometric approach. The first part of the dissertation applies the geometric singular perturbation to establish the diversity of traveling wave solutions of a FitzHugh-Nagumo type equation with turning point. There coexist different front of traveling wave and we give a complete classification for all of these fronts of traveling waves. The second part of the dissertation applies high-dimensional phase space analysis together with Wazewski Theorem and LaSa
