AbstractWe present a stability analysis of steady-state solutions of a continuous-time predator–prey population dynamics model subject to Allee effects on the prey population which occur at low population density. Numerical simulations show that the system subject to an Allee effect takes a much longer time to reach its stable steady-state solution. This result differs from that obtained for the discrete-time version of the same model.

The behavior of a one-dimensional thermoelastic rod is modeled and analyzed. The rod is held fixed and at constant temperature at one end, while at the other end it is free to separate from or make contact with a rigid wall. At this free end a pressure and gap-dependent thermal boundary condition is imposed which couples the thermal and elastic problems. Such systems have previously been shown to undergo a bifurcation from a unique linearly stable steady-state solution to multiple steady-state solutions with alternating stability. Here, the system is studied using a two-timing or multiple-scale singular perturbation technique. In this manner, the analysis is extended into the nonlinear regime and dynamic information about the history dependence and temporal evolution of the solution is obtained.

The behavior of a one-dimensional thermoelastic rod is modeled and analyzed. The rod is held fixed and at constant temperature at one end, while at the other end it is free to separate from or make contact with a rigid wall. At this free end we impose a pressure and gap-dependent thermal boundary condition. This condition, known as the Barber condition, couples the thermal and elastic problems. Such systems have previously been shown to undergo a bifurcation from a unique linearly stable steady-state solution to multiple steady-state solutions with alternating stability. Here, the system is studied using the asymptotic matching techniques of boundary layer theory to derive short-time, long-time, and uniform expansions. In this manner, the analysis is extended into the nonlinear regime and dynamic information about the history dependence and temporal evolution of the solution is obtained.

Global interaction of the boundary layer separating from an obstacle with resulting open/closed wakes is studied for a thin airfoil in a steady flow. Replacing the Kutta condition of the classical theory is the breakaway criterion of the laminar triple-deck interaction (Sychev 1972; Smith 1977), which, together with the assumption of a uniform wake/eddy pressure, leads to a nonlinear equation system for the breakaway location and wake shape. The solutions depend on a Reynolds numberReand an airfoil thickness ratio or incidence τ and, in the domain$Re^{\frac{1}{16}}\tau = O(1)$considered, the separation locations are found to be far removed from the classical Brillouin–Villat point for the breakaway from a smooth shape. Bifurcations of the steady-state solution are found among examples of symmetrical and asymmetrical flows, allowing open and closed wakes, as well as symmetry breaking in an otherwise symmetrical flow. Accordingly, the influence of thickness and incidence, as well as Reynolds number is critical in the vicinity of branch points and cut-off points where steady-state solutions can/must change branches/types. The study suggests a correspondence of this bifurcation feature with the lift hysteresis and other aerodynamic anomalies observed from wind-tunnel and numerical studies in subcritical and high-subcriticalReflows.

In this paper, a prey‐predator dynamics, where the predator species partially depends upon the prey species, in a two patch habitat with diffusion and there is a non‐diffusing additional resource for the prey population, is modeled and analyzed. It is shown, that there exists a positive, monotonic, continuous steady state solution with continuous matching at the interface for both the species separately. Further, we obtain conditions for asymptotic stability for both linear and nonlinear cases. Šiame straipsnyje modeliuojama ir analizuojama plešr‐unu ir auku dinamika, laikant, kad plešr-unu populiacija dalinai priklauso nuo auku skačiaus. Areala sudaro dvi sritys, kuriose vyksta populiaciju individu difuzija, be to, aukoms yra išskirtas nedifunduojantis resursas. Irodyta, kad egzistuoja teigiamas, monotoniškas, tolydus stacionarusis sprendinys, tenkinantis tolydumo salyga abiems populiacijoms atskirai. Gautos asimptotinio stabilumo salygos tiesiniu ir netiesiniu atvejais.
