Abstract This paper concerns with detailed analysis of a reaction-diffusion host-pathogen model with space-dependent parameters in a bounded domain. By considering the fact the mobility of host individuals playing a crucial role in disease transmission, we formulate the model by a system of degenerate reaction-diffusion equations, where host individuals disperse at distinct rates and the mobility of pathogen is ignored in the environment.We first establish the well-posedness of the model, including the global existence of solution and the existence of the global compact attractor. The basic reproduction number is identified, and also characterized by some equivalent principal spectral conditions, which establishes the threshold dynamical result for pathogen extinction and persistence. When the positive steady state is confirmed, we investigate the asymptotic profiles of positive steady state as host individuals disperse at small and large rates. Our result suggests that small and large diffusion rate of hosts have a great impacts in formulating the spatial distribution of the pathogen.

AbstractIn this paper, the results of Freedman and So [13] on global stability and persistence of simple food chains are extended to general diffusive food chains. For global stability of the unique homogeneous positive steady state, our approach involves an application of the invariance principle of reaction-diffusion equations and the construction of a Liapunov functional. For persistence, we use the dynamical system results of Dunbar et al. [11] and Hutson and Moran [29].

In this paper, a reaction–diffusion SEI epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate is proposed. The well-posedness of solutions is studied, including the existence of positive and unique classical solution and the existence and the ultimate boundedness of global solutions. The basic reproduction numbers are given in both heterogeneous and homogeneous environments. For spatially heterogeneous environment, by the comparison principle of the diffusion system, the infection-free steady state is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text], the system will be persistent and admit at least one positive steady state. For spatially homogenous environment, by constructing a Lyapunov function, the infection-free steady state is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] and then the unique positive steady state is achieved and is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text]. Finally, two examples are given via numerical simulations, and then some control strategies are also presented by the sensitive analysis.

In this paper, we revisit a reaction—diffusion autocatalytic chemical reaction model with decay. For higher-order reactions, we prove that the system possesses at least two positive steady-state solutions; hence, it has bistable dynamics similar to the system without decay. For the linear reaction, we determine the necessary and sufficient condition to ensure the existence of a solution. Moreover, in the one-dimensional case, we prove that the positive steady-state solution is unique. Our results demonstrate the drastic difference in dynamics caused by the order of chemical reactions.

Heroin Model

This paper is concerned with a reaction-diffusion heroin model in a bound domain. The objective of this paper is to explore the threshold dynamics based on threshold parameter and basic reproduction number (BRN) ℜ0, and it is proved that if ℜ0<1, heroin spread will be extinct, while if ℜ0>1, heroin spread is uniformly persistent and there exists a positive heroin-spread steady state. We also obtain that the explicit formula of ℜ0 and global attractiveness of constant positive steady state (PSS) when all parameters are positive constants. Our simulation results reveal that compared to the homogeneous setting, the spatial heterogeneity has essential impacts on increasing the risk of heroin spread.

Steady State Solutions

SynopsisWe discuss steady-state solutions of systems of semilinear reaction-diffusion equations which model situations in which two interacting species u and v inhabit the same bounded region. It is easy to find solutions to the systems such that either u or v is identically zero; such solutions correspond to the case where one of the species is extinct. By using decoupling and global bifurcation theory techniques, we prove the existence of solutions which are positive in both u and v corresponding to the case where the populations can co-exist.
