A classical reaction-diffusion system, the Schnakenberg system, is under consideration in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m$ with Neumann boundary conditions. We study diffusion-driven instability of a stationary spatially homogeneous solution of this system, also called the Turing instability, which arises when the diffusion coefficient $d$ changes. An analytical description of the region of necessary and sufficient conditions for the Turing instability in the parameter plane is obtained by analyzing the linearized system in diffusionless and diffusion approximations. It is shown that one of the boundaries of the region of necessary conditions is an envelope of the family of curves that bound the region of sufficient conditions. Moreover, the intersection points of two consecutive curves of this family lie on a straight line whose slope depends on the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator and does not depend on the diffusion coefficient. We find an analytical expression for the critical diffusion coefficient at which the stability of the equilibrium position of the system is lost. We derive conditions under which the set of wavenumbers corresponding to neutral stability modes is countable, finite, or empty. It is shown that the semiaxis $d>1$ can be represented as a countable union of half-intervals with split points expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator; each half-interval is characterized by the minimum wavenumber of loss of stability.

In [1], Owen gave sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of certain mixed problems having elliptic and hyperbolic nature for the ultrahyperbolic equation. Recently, Diaz and Young [2] has obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of solutions of the Dirichlet and Neumann problems involving the more general ultrahyperbolic equation The purpose of this paper is to present corresponding uniqueness conditions for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the singular ultrahyperbolic equation for all values of the parameter, α −∞ > α > ∞. The symbol Δ denotes the Laplace operator in the variables x1, …, xm, Dj indicates partial differentiation with respect to the variable yj (1 ≧ J ≧ n), and the summation convention is adopted for repeated indices including (iu2), where denotes differentiation with respect to the variable xi.

The dynamics of a diffusive ratio-dependent Holling-Tanner predator-prey system subject to Neumann boundary conditions are considered. By choosing the ratio of intrinsic growth rates of predators to preys as a bifurcation parameter, the existence and stability of spatially homogeneous and nonhomogeneous Hopf bifurcations and steady state bifurcation are investigated in detail. Meanwhile, we show that Turing instability takes place at a certain critical value; that is, the stationary solution becomes unstable induced by diffusion. Particularly, the sufficient conditions of the global stability of the positive constant coexistence are given by the upper-lower solutions method.

Abstract In this paper, the blow-up analyses in nonlocal reaction diffusion equations with time-dependent coefficients are investigated under Neumann boundary conditions. By constructing some suitable auxiliary functions and using differential inequality techniques, we show some sufficient conditions to ensure that the solution u ( x , t ) u(x,t) blows up at a finite time under appropriate measure sense. Furthermore, an upper and a lower bound on blow-up time are derived under some appropriate assumptions. At last, two examples are presented to illustrate the application of our main results.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow (MCF). By imposing conditions associated with the mean curvature of the initial hypersurface and the coefficient function of the forcing term of a forced MCF, and some special pinching conditions on the second fundamental form of the initial hypersurface, we prove that the first nonzero closed eigenvalues of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator are monotonic under the forced MCF, respectively, which partially generalize Mao and Zhao’s work. Moreover, we give an example to specify applications of conclusions obtained above.

AbstractVarious optimization problems for linear parabolic systems with multiple constant time lags are considered. In this paper, we consider an optimal distributed control problem for a linear complex parabolic system in which different multiple constant time lags appear both in the state equation and in the Neumann boundary condition. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution of the parabolic time lag equation with the Neumann boundary condition are proved. The time horizon T is fixed. Making use of the Lions scheme [13], necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality for the Neumann problem with the quadratic performance functional with pointwise observation of the state and constrained control are derived. The example of application is also provided.

This paper is concerned with the asymptotical behavior of solutions to the reaction-diffusion system under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. By taking food ingestion and species' moving into account, the model is further coupled with Michaelis-Menten type functional response and nonlocal delay. Sufficient conditions are derived for the global stability of the positive steady state and the semitrivial steady state of the proposed problem by using the Lyapunov functional. Our results show that intraspecific competition benefits the coexistence of prey and predator. Furthermore, the introduction of Michaelis-Menten type functional response positively affects the coexistence of prey and predator, and the nonlocal delay is harmless for stabilities of all nonnegative steady states of the system. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results.
