A nonlinear compartment model generates a semi-process on a simplex and may have an arbitrarily complex dynamical behaviour in the interior of the simplex. Nonetheless, in applications nonlinear compartment models often have a unique asymptotically stable equilibrium attracting all interior points. Further, the convergence to this equilibrium is often wave-like and related to slow dynamics near a second hyperbolic equilibrium on the boundary. We discuss a generic two-parameter bifurcation of this equilibrium at a corner of the simplex, which leads to such dynamics, and explain the wave-like convergence as an artifact of a non-smooth nearby system in C0-topology, where the second equilibrium on the boundary attracts an open interior set of the simplex. As such nearby idealized systems have two disjoint basins of attraction, they are able to show rate-induced tipping in the non-autonomous case of time-dependent parameters, and induce phenomena in the original systems like, e.g., avoiding a wave by quickly varying parameters. Thus, this article reports a quite unexpected path, how rate-induced tipping can occur in nonlinear compartment models.

AbstractIn this paper, we study an inverse source problem for a degenerate and singular parabolic system where the boundary conditions are of Neumann type. We consider a problem with degenerate diffusion coefficients and singular lower-order terms, both vanishing at an interior point of the space domain. In particular, we address the question of well-posedness of the problem, and then we prove a stability estimate of Lipschitz type in determining the source term by data of only one component. Our method is based on Carleman estimates, cut-off procedures and a reflection technique.

We investigate a random differential equation with random delay. First the non-autonomous case is considered. We show the existence and uniqueness of a solution that generates a cocycle. In particular, the existence of an attractor is proved. Secondly we look at the random case. We pay special attention to the measurability. This allows us to prove that the solution to the random differential equation generates a random dynamical system. The existence result of the attractor can be carried over to the random case.
