A mathematical model for indirectly transmitted diseases
We consider a mathematical model for the indirect transmission via a contaminated environment of a microparasite between two spatially distributed host populations having non-coincident spatial domains. The parasite is benign in a first population and lethal in the second one. Global existence results are given for the resulting reaction–diffusion system coupled with an ordinary differential equation. Then, invasion and persistence of the parasite are studied. A simplified model for the transmission of a hantavirus from bank vole to human populations is then analysed
Global Existence and internal stabilization for a reaction-diffusion system posed on non coincident spatial domains
We consider a two-component Reaction-Diffusion system posed on non coincident spatial domains and featuring a reaction term involving an integral kernel. The question of global existence of componentwise nonnega- tive solutions is assessed. Then we investigate the stabilization of one of the solution components to zero via an internal control distributed on a small sub- domain while preserving nonnegativity of both components. Our results apply to predator-prey systems
A degenerate Reaction-Diffusion system modeling atmospheric dispersion of pollutants
We study the global existence and approximation of the solutions to a degenerate reaction– diffusion system modeling photochemical generation and atmospheric dispersion of pollutants
