The paper proposes a modification of the mathematical model of the bacterial communication process based on using the law of multiphase dynamics of changes in the microorganisms number. The model is described as an initial-boundary value problem for an evolutionary «reaction – diffusion» equation. An implicit finite-difference scheme is derived for the numerical solution of an applied problem. The results of computational experiments are discussed.

Inverse Heat Problem

An inverse heat problem of finding an unknown parameter p(t) in the parabolic initial-boundary value problem is solved with variational iteration method (VIM). For solving the discussed inverse problem, at first we transform it into a nonlinear direct problem and then use the proposed method. Also an error analysis is presented for the method and prior and posterior error bounds of the approximate solution are estimated. The main property of the method is in its flexibility and ability to solve nonlinear equation accurately and conveniently. Some examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and convenience of the method.

We study reaction-diffusion equations with a general reaction functionfon one-dimensional lattices with continuous or discrete timeux′  (or  Δtux)=k(ux-1-2ux+ux+1)+f(ux),x∈Z. We prove weak and strong maximum and minimum principles for corresponding initial-boundary value problems. Whereas the maximum principles in the semidiscrete case (continuous time) exhibit similar features to those of fully continuous reaction-diffusion model, in the discrete case the weak maximum principle holds for a smaller class of functions and the strong maximum principle is valid in a weaker sense. We describe in detail how the validity of maximum principles depends on the nonlinearity and the time step. We illustrate our results on the Nagumo equation with the bistable nonlinearity.

In this paper we examine the evolution that occurs when a localized input of an autocatalyst B is introduced into an expanse of a reactant A. The reaction is autocatalytic of order p,so A -> B at rate k [A] [B] p with rate constant k . We examine the case when 0 < p < 1, with p>/ 1 having been examined by Needham & Merkin (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. A 337, 261—274 (1991)). In particular, we show that the fully reacted state is not achieved (as t-> oo) via the propagation of a travelling wavefront (as for p>/ 1) but is approached uniformly in space as t-00.

AbstractAn initial-boundary value problem is considered in an unbounded do- main on the x-axis for a singularly perturbed parabolic reaction-diffusion equation. For small values of the parameter ε, a parabolic boundary layer arises in a neighbourhood of the lateral part of the boundary. In this problem, the error of a discrete solution in the maximum norm grows without bound even for fixed values of the parameter ε. In the present paper, the proximity of solutions of the initial-boundary value problem and of its numerical approximations is considered. Using the method of special grids condensing in a neighbourhood of the boundary layer, a special finite difference scheme converging ε-uniformly in the weight maximum norm has been constructed.

We examine the effects of a concentration dependent diffusivity on a reaction-diffusion process which has applications in chemical kinetics. The diffusivity is taken as a continuous monotone, a decreasing function of concentration that has compact support, of the form that arises in polymerization processes. We consider piecewise-classical solutions to an initial-boundary value problem. The existence of a family of permanent form travelling wave solutions is established, and the development of the solution of the initial-boundary value problem to the travelling wave of minimum propagation speed is considered. It is shown that an interface will always form in finite time, with its initial propagation speed being unbounded. The interface represents the surface of the expanding polymer matrix.

A complete family of solutions for the one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equation, uxx(x,t)-q(x)u(x,t)=ut(x,t), with a coefficient q depending on x is constructed. The solutions represent the images of the heat polynomials under the action of a transmutation operator. Their use allows one to obtain an explicit solution of the noncharacteristic Cauchy problem with sufficiently regular Cauchy data as well as to solve numerically initial boundary value problems. In the paper, the Dirichlet boundary conditions are considered; however, the proposed method can be easily extended onto other standard boundary conditions. The proposed numerical method is shown to reveal good accuracy.

In this paper we examine the effects of concentration dependent diffusivity on a reaction-diffusion process which has applications in chemical kinetics and ecology. We consider piecewise classical solutions to an initial boundary-value problem. The existence of a family of permanent form travelling wave solutions is established and the development of the solution of the initial boundary-value problem to the travelling wave of minimum propagation speed is considered. For certain types of initial data, ‘waiting time’ phenomena are encountered.
