The SKT cross-diffusion equation is proposed by N. Shigesada, K. Kawasaki and E. Teramoto in 1979 to investigate segregation phenomena of two competing species with each other in the same habitat area. The effect of cross-diffusion affects the population pressure between two different species. Lou and Ni derived limiting systems to see whether this effect may give rise to a spatial segregation or not, and to clarify its mechanism. In this paper, we introduce some new representation of solutions to a stationary limiting problem modified from representation by Lou, Ni and Yotsutani. We apply it to the numerical investigation of existence, non-existence, multiplicity and stability.

AbstractThe processes of diffusion and reaction play essential roles in numerous system dynamics. Consequently, the solutions of reaction–diffusion equations have gained much attention because of not only their occurrence in many fields of science but also the existence of important properties and information in the solutions. However, despite the wide range of numerical methods explored for approximating solutions, the adoption of block methods is yet to be investigated. Hence, this article introduces a new two-step third–fourth-derivative block method as a numerical approach to solve the reaction–diffusion equation. In order to ensure improved accuracy, the method introduces the concept of nonlinearity in the solution of the linear model through the presence of higher derivatives. The method obtained accurate solutions for the model at varying values of the dimensionless diffusion parameter and saturation parameter. Furthermore, the solutions are also in good agreement with previous solutions by existing authors.

We prove the existence and stability of stationary solutions to the Vlasov–Poisson System with spherical symmetry, which describe static shells, i.e., the support of their densities is bounded away from the origin. We use a variational approach which was established by Y. Guo and G. Rein.

An experimental and numerical investigation on an innovative composite reinforced with sisal fibers for masonry strengthening is presented in this paper. A FEM numerical approach is also developed, based on diagonal compression test results, to simulate the shear in-plane response of unreinforced masonry panels (URM) and masonry strengthened with a Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composite system made with sisal fibers (RM-SISAL).

AbstractWe consider the Vlasov–Poisson system with spherical symmetry and an exterior potential which is induced by a point mass in the center. This system can be used as a simple model for a newtonian galaxy surrounding a black hole. For this system, we establish a global existence result for classical solutions with shell-like initial data, i.e. the support of the density is bounded away from the point mass singularity. We also prove existence and stability of stationary solutions which describe static shells, where we use a variational approach which was established by Y. Guo and G. Rein.
