Permanence and almost periodic solution of a multispecies Lotka-Volterra mutualism system with time varying delays on time scales
In this paper, we consider the almost periodic dynamics of a multispecies
Lotka-Volterra mutualism system with time varying delays on time scales. By
establishing some dynamic inequalities on time scales, a permanence result for
the model is obtained. Furthermore, by means of the almost periodic functional
hull theory on time scales and Lyapunov functional, some criteria are obtained
for the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of almost periodic
solutions of the model. Our results complement and extend some scientific work
in recent years. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the main results.Comment: 31page
Pattern formation driven by cross--diffusion in a 2D domain
In this work we investigate the process of pattern formation in a two
dimensional domain for a reaction-diffusion system with nonlinear diffusion
terms and the competitive Lotka-Volterra kinetics. The linear stability
analysis shows that cross-diffusion, through Turing bifurcation, is the key
mechanism for the formation of spatial patterns. We show that the bifurcation
can be regular, degenerate non-resonant and resonant. We use multiple scales
expansions to derive the amplitude equations appropriate for each case and show
that the system supports patterns like rolls, squares, mixed-mode patterns,
supersquares, hexagonal patterns
