We consider a reaction–diffusion system of 2 × 2 equations modeling the spread of early tumor cells. The existence of weak solutions is ensured by a classical argument of Faedo–Galerkin method. Then, we present a numerical scheme for this model based on a finite volume method. We establish the existence of discrete solutions to this scheme, and we show that it converges to a weak solution. Finally, some numerical simulations are reported with pattern formation examples.

ABSTRACT Mathematical theories of the population dynamics of sex-determining alleles in honey bees are developed. It is shown that in an infinitely large population the equilibrium frequency of a sex allele is l/n, where n is the number of alleles in the population, and the asymptotic rate of approach to this equilibrium is 2/(3n) per generation. Formulae for the distribution of allele frequencies and the effective and actual numbers of alleles that can be maintained in a finite population are derived by taking into account the population size and mutation rate. It is shown that the allele frequencies in a finite population may deviate considerably from l/n. Using these results, available data on the number of sex alleles in honey bee populations are discussed. It is also shown that the number of self-incompatibility alleles in plants can be studied in a much simpler way by the method used in this paper. A brief discussion about general overdominant selection is presented.
