<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We consider the cooperative system driven by a multiplicative It\^o type white noise. The existence and their approximations of the travelling wave solutions are proven. With a moderately strong noise, the travelling wave solutions are constricted by choosing a suitable marker of wavefront. Moreover, the stochastic Feynman-Kac formula, sup-solution, sub-solution and equilibrium points of the dynamical system corresponding to the stochastic cooperative system are utilized to estimate the asymptotic wave speed, which is closely related to the white noise.</p>

Exchange Of Stability

The problem of linear instability of a nonlinear travelling wave in a canonical Hamiltonian system with translational symmetry subject to superharmonic perturbations is discussed. It is shown that exchange of stability occurs when energy is stationary as a function of wave speed. This generalizes a result proved by Saffman (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 159, 1985, pp. 169–174) for travelling wave solutions exhibiting a wave profile with reflectional symmetry. The present argument remains true for any non-canonical Hamiltonian system that can be cast in Darboux form, i.e. a canonical Hamiltonian form on a submanifold defined by constraints, such as a two-dimensional surface wave on a constant shearing flow, revealing a general feature of Hamiltonian dynamics.

AbstractWe use a geometric approach to prove the existence of smooth travelling wave solutions of a nonlinear diffusion–reaction equation with logistic kinetics and a convex nonlinear diffusivity function which changes sign twice in our domain of interest. We determine the minimum wave speed, $$c^*$$ c ∗ , and investigate its relation to the spectral stability of a desingularised linear operator associated with the travelling wave solutions.

We consider a cell growth model involving a nonlinear system of partial differential equations which describes the growth of two types of cell populations with contact inhibition. Numerical experiments show that there is a parameter regime where, for a large class of initial data, the large time behaviour of the solutions is described by a segregated travelling wave solution with positive wave speed c. Here, the word segregated expresses the fact that the different types of cells are spatially segregated, and that the single densities are discontinuous at the moving interface which separates the two populations. In this paper, we show that, for each wave speed c > c, there exists an overlapping travelling wave solution, whose profile is continuous and no longer segregated. We also show that, for a large class of initial functions, the overlapping travelling wave solutions cannot represent the large time profile of the solutions of the system of partial differential equations. The structure of the travelling wave solutions strongly resembles that of the scalar Fisher-KPP equation, for which the special role played by the travelling wave solution with minimal speed has been extensively studied.

The Basic Reproduction Number

Vector-borne diseases, such as chikungunya, dengue, malaria, West Nile virus, yellow fever and Zika, pose a major global public health problem worldwide. In this paper we investigate the propagation dynamics of diffusive vector-borne disease models in the whole space, which characterize the spatial expansion of the infected hosts and infected vectors. Due to the lack of monotonicity, the comparison principle cannot be applied directly to this system. We determine the spreading speed and minimal wave speed when the basic reproduction number of the corresponding kinetic system is larger than one. The spreading speed is mainly estimated by the uniform persistence argument and generalized principal eigenvalue. We also show that solutions converge locally uniformly to the positive equilibrium by employing two auxiliary monotone systems. Moreover, it is proven that the spreading speed is the minimal wave speed of travelling wave solutions. In particular, the uniqueness and monotonicity of travelling waves are obtained. When the basic reproduction number of the corresponding kinetic system is not larger than one, it is shown that solutions approach to the disease-free equilibrium uniformly and there is no travelling wave solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analytical results.

First, applying the Jacobi elliptic sine function expansion, basic travelling wave solutions of some nonlinear evolution equations are obtained. Second, according to the formal invariance of nonlinear evolution equations, the sister travelling wave solutions, which have the same wave speed as the basic ones, are derived. Finally, we show that a suitable linear combination of these two solutions results in a combined travelling wave solution, whose wave speed is different from those of the basic and sister travelling wave solutions. The combination of travelling wave solutions to nonlinear evolution equations must satisfy certain conditions. - PACS: 03.65.Ge.

Abstract We apply the Painlevé test for the Benney and the Benney–Gjevik equations, which describe waves in falling liquids. We prove that these two nonlinear 1 + 1 evolution equations pass the singularity test for the travelling-wave solutions. The algebraic solutions in terms of Laurent expansions are presented.
