Эта статья посвящена задаче со свободной границей для полулинейных параболических уравнений, в которой описывается феномен сегрегации местообитаний в популяционной экологии. Основная цель — показать глобальное существование, единственность решений проблемы. Предлагается двухфазная математическая модель со свободными границами для параболических уравнений типа реакция-диффузия. Установлены априорные оценки щаудеровского типа, на основе которых доказана однозначная разрешимость задачи. Неустойчивость каждого решения полностью определяется с помощью теоремы сравнения. This article is concerned with a free boundary problem for semilinear parabolic equations, wbich describes the habitat segregation phenomenon in population ecology. The main goal is to show global existence, the uniqueness of solutions to the problem. A two-phase mathematical model with free boundaries for parabolic equations of the reaction-diffusion type is proposed. A priori estimates of Schauder type are established, on the basis of which the unique solvability of the problem is proved. The instability of each solution is fully determined using the comparison theorem.

In this paper, we study a competitive diffusion quasilinear system with a free boundary. First, we investigate the mathematical questions of the problem. A priori estimates of Schauder type are established, which are necessary for the solvability of the problem. One of two competing species is an invader, which initially exists on a certain sub-interval. The other is initially distributed throughout the area under consideration. Examining the influence of baseline data on the success or failure of the first invasion. We conclude that there is a dichotomy of spread and extinction and give precise criteria for spread and extinction in this model.

We investigate an epidemic non-linear reaction-diffusion system with two free boundaries. A free boundary is introduced to describe the expanding front of the infectious environment. A priori estimates of the required functions are established, which are necessary for the correctness and global solvability of the problem. We get sufficient conditions for the spread or disappearance of the disease. It has been proven that with a base reproductive number the disease disappears in the long term if the initial values and the initial area are sufficiently small.

AbstractIn this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a non-autonomous reaction-diffusion equation with delay, after we prove the existence of a pullback 𝒟-asymptotically compact process. By a priori estimates, we show that it has a pullback 𝒟-absorbing set that allow us to prove the existence of a pullback 𝒟-attractor for the associated process to the problem.

AbstractReaction-diffusion equation with a bistable nonlocal nonlinearity is considered in the case where the reaction term is not quasi-monotone. For this equation, the existence of travelling waves is proved by the Leray-Schauder method based on the topological degree for elliptic operators in unbounded domains and a priori estimates of solutions in properly chosen weighted spaces.

We are concerned with divergence type quasilinear parabolic equation with measurable coefficients and lower order terms model of which is a doubly nonlinear anisotropic parabolic equations with absorption term. This class of equations has numerous applications which appear in modeling of electrorheological fluids, image precessing, theory of elasticity, theory of non-Newtonian fluids with viscosity depending on the temperature. But the qualitative theory doesn't construct for these anisotropic equations. So, naturally, that during the last decade there has been growing substantial development in the qualitative theory of second order anisotropic elliptic and parabolic equations. The main purpose is to obtain the pointwise upper estimates in terms of distance to the boundary for nonnegative solutions of such equations. This type of estimates originate from the work of J. B. Keller, R. Osserman, who obtained a simple upper bound for any solution, in any number of variables for Laplace equation. These estimates play a crucial role in the theory of existence or nonexistence of so called large solutions of such equations, in the problems of removable singularities for solutions to elliptic and parabolic equations. Up to our knowledge all the known estimates for large solutions to elliptic and parabolic equations are related with equations for which some comparison properties hold. We refer to I.I. Skrypnik, A.E. Shishkov, M. Marcus , L. Veron, V.D. Radulescu for an account of these results and references therein. Such equations have been the object of very few works because in general such properties do not hold. The main ones concern equations only in the precise choice of absorption term \(f(u)=u^q\). Among the people who published significative results in this direction are I.I. Skrypnik, J. Vetois, F.C. Cirstea, J. Garcia-Melian, J.D. Rossi, J.C. Sabina de Lis. The main result of the paper is a priori estimates of Keller-Osserman type for nonnegative solutions of a doubly nonlinear anisotropic parabolic equations with absorption term that have been proven despite of the lack of comparison principle. To obtain these estimates we exploit the method of energy estimations and De Giorgy iteration techniques.

We study a free boundary problem of the form: ut = uxx + f(t, u) (g(t) < x < h(t)) with free boundary conditions h′(t) = −ux(t, h(t)) – α(t) and g′(t) = −ux(t, g(t)) + β(t), where β(t) and α(t) are positive T-periodic functions, f(t, u) is a Fisher–KPP type of nonlinearity and T-periodic in t. This problem can be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species in time-periodic environment, where free boundaries represent the spreading fronts of the species. We study the asymptotic behaviour of bounded solutions. There are two T-periodic functions α0(t) and α*(t; β) with 0 < α0 < α* which play key roles in the dynamics. More precisely, (i) in case 0 < β< α0 and 0 < α < α*, we obtain a trichotomy result: (i-1) spreading, that is, h(t) – g(t) → +∞ and u(t, ⋅ + ct) → 1 with $c\in (-\overline{l},\overline{r})$, where $ \overline{l}:=\frac{1}{T}\int_{0}^{T}l(s)ds$, $\overline{r}:=\frac{1}{T}\int_{0}^{T}r(s)ds$, the T-periodic functions −l(t) and r(t) are the asymptotic spreading speeds of g(t) and h(t) respectively (furthermore, r(t) > 0 > −l(t) when 0 < β < α < α0; r(t) = 0 > −l(t) when 0 < β < α = α0; $0 \gt \overline{r} \gt -\overline{l}$ when 0 < β < α0 < α < α*); (i-2) vanishing, that is, $\lim\limits_{t \to \mathcal {T}}h(t) = \lim\limits_{t \to \mathcal {T}}g(t)$ and $\lim\limits_{t \to \mathcal {T}}\max\limits_{g(t)\leq x\leq h(t)} u(t,x)=0$, where $\mathcal {T}$ is some positive constant; (i-3) transition, that is, g(t) → −∞, h(t) → −∞, $0<\lim\limits_{t \to \infty}[h(t)-g(t)] \lt +\infty$ and u(t, ⋅) → V(t, ⋅), where V is a T-periodic solution with compact support. (ii) in case β ≥ α0 or α ≥ α*, vanishing happens for any solution.
