Texte intégral
Résumé :
The main topic of this thesis is the analysis of evolution equations reflecting issues in ecology and population dynamics. In mathematical modelling, the impact of environmental elements and the interaction between species is read into the role of heterogeneity in equations and interactions in coupled systems. In this direction, we investigate three separate problems, each corresponding to a chapter of this thesis. The first problem addresses the evolution of a single population living in a periodic medium with a fast diffusion line; this corresponds to the study of a reaction-diffusion system

Résumé :
This thesis studies mathematical models of a population of cells invading the surrounding environment or another living population. A classical single-species model is reformulated using a moving boundary to track the position of the moving front of the invading population. The moving boundary is also used to separate two populations. Other models studied are coupled partial differential equations to describe the interaction of a population with another one. Different types of interaction are represented: the degradation of healthy skin by cancer and the growth of bone tissue on substrate.

<p> Biological membranes are important structural units in the cell. Composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins, most exploration of membranes has focused on the proteins. While proteins play a vital role in membrane function, the lipids themselves can behave in dynamic ways which affect membrane structure and function. Furthermore, the dynamic behavior of the lipids can affect and be affected by membrane geometry. A novel fluid membrane model is developed in which two different types of lipids flow in a deforming membrane, modelled as a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold that resists

We consider a problem from the field of biological fluid mechanics which considers the flow associated with the motion of a flagellum on a sessile micro-organism. Motivation is taken from the movement of fluid around a species of choanoflagellate, \(Salpingoeca\) \(Amphoridium\). Choanoflagellates are a class of organism in the phylum Protozoa. Because the length scales and velocities are very low, the flow is one dominated by viscous forces and the environment is characterised by a low Reynolds number. The flow caused by the flagellum is initially modelled via a point force. These microorgani

Résumé :
Biological tissue differs from other materials in many ways. Perhaps the most crucial difference is its ability to grow. Growth processes may give rise to stresses that exist in a body in the absence of applied loads and these are known as residual stresses. Residual stress is present in many biological systems and can have important consequences on the mechanical response of a body. Mathematical models of biological structures must therefore be able to capture accurately the effects of differential growth and residual stress, since greater understanding of the roles of these phenomena may hav

Mathematical models have been used to capture the behaviour of biological systems, from low-level biochemical reactions to multi-scale whole-organ models. Models are typically based on experimentally-derived data, attempting to reproduce the observed behaviour through mathematical constructs, e.g. using Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) for spatially-homogeneous systems. These models are developed and published as mathematical equations, yet are of such complexity that they necessitate computational simulation.

Résumé :
L’aparició de nous virus causants de malalties està estretament lligada a l’especialització de subpoblacions virals cap a nous tipus d’amfitrions. La modelització matemàtica proporciona un marc quantitatiu que pot ajudar amb la predicció de processos a llarg termini com pot ser l’especialització. A causa de la naturalesa complexa que presenten les interaccions intra i interespecífiques en els processos evolutius, cal aplicar eines matemàtiques complexes, com ara l’anàlisi de bifurcacions, al estudiar dinàmiques de població. Aquesta tesi desenvolupa una jerarquia de models de població per poder
