<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper is concerned with a nonlocal time-space periodic reaction diffusion model with age structure. We first prove the existence and global attractivity of time-space periodic solution for the model. Next, by a family of principal eigenvalues associated with linear operators, we characterize the asymptotic speed of spread of the model in the monotone and non-monotone cases. Furthermore, we introduce a notion of transition semi-waves for the model, and then by constructing appropriate upper and lower solutions, and using the results of the asymptotic speed of spread, we show that transition semi-waves of the model in the non-monotone case exist when their wave speed is above a critical speed, and transition semi-waves do not exist anymore when their wave speed is less than the critical speed. It turns out that the asymptotic speed of spread coincides with the critical wave speed of transition semi-waves in the non-monotone case. In addition, we show that the obtained transition semi-waves are actually transition waves in the monotone case. Finally, numerical simulations for various cases are carried out to support our theoretical results.</p>

In this paper, we consider a free boundary model in one space dimension which describes the spreading of a species subject to climate change, where favorable environment is shifting away with a constant speed [Formula: see text] and replaced by a deteriorated yet still favorable environment. We obtain two threshold speeds [Formula: see text] and a complete classification of the long-time dynamics of the model, which reveals significant differences between the cases [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. For example, when [Formula: see text], for a suitably parameterized family of initial functions [Formula: see text] increasing continuously in [Formula: see text], we show that there exists [Formula: see text] such that the species vanishes eventually when [Formula: see text], it spreads with asymptotic speed [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text], it spreads with forced speed [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text], and it spreads with speed [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text]. Moreover, in the last case, while the spreading front propagates with asymptotic speed [Formula: see text], the profile of the population density function [Formula: see text] approaches a propagating pair consisting of a traveling wave with speed [Formula: see text] and a semi-wave with speed [Formula: see text].

Abstract We investigate the long-term behavior of a random walker evolving on top of the simple symmetric exclusion process (SSEP) at equilibrium, in dimension one. At each jump, the random walker is subject to a drift that depends on whether it is sitting on top of a particle or a hole, so that its asymptotic behavior is expected to depend on the density $$\rho \in [0, 1]$$ ρ ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] of the underlying SSEP. Our first result is a law of large numbers (LLN) for the random walker for all densities $$\rho $$ ρ except for at most two values $$\rho _-, \rho _+ \in [0, 1]$$ ρ - , ρ + ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] . The asymptotic speed we obtain in our LLN is a monotone function of $$\rho $$ ρ . Also, $$\rho _-$$ ρ - and $$\rho _+$$ ρ + are characterized as the two points at which the speed may jump to (or from) zero. Furthermore, for all the values of densities where the random walk experiences a non-zero speed, we can prove that it satisfies a functional central limit theorem (CLT). For the special case in which the density is 1/2 and the jump distribution on an empty site and on an occupied site are symmetric to each other, we prove a LLN with zero limiting speed. We also prove similar LLN and CLT results for a different environment, given by a family of independent simple symmetric random walks in equilibrium.

AbstractThis note analyzes the effect that the specification of technology has on the long-run growth rate and the asymptotic speed of convergence in the one-sector endogenous-growth model. We compare three otherwise identical economies – with the same baseline and parameter values – but with different production technologies: CES, VES or Sobelow, respectively. The long-run growth rate and the asymptotic convergence speed under CES production are lower than the corresponding ones under Sobelow production which, in turn, are lower than those under VES production. This is because a higher elasticity of substitution entails a higher easiness to substitute capital for labor which, in the end, results in a higher long-run growth rate.

A ship encounters a higher drag in a stratified fluid compared to a homogeneous one. Grouped under the same “dead-water” vocabulary, two wave-making resistance phenomena have been historically reported. The first, the Nansen wave-making drag, generates a stationary internal wake which produces a kinematic drag with a noticeable hysteresis. The second, the Ekman wave-making drag, is characterized by velocity oscillations caused by a dynamical resistance whose origin is still unclear. The latter has been justified previously by a periodic emission of nonlinear internal waves. Here we show that these speed variations are due to the generation of an internal dispersive undulating depression produced during the initial acceleration of the ship within a linear regime. The dispersive undulating depression front and its subsequent whelps act as a bumpy treadmill on which the ship would move back and forth. We provide an analytical description of the coupled dynamics of the ship and the wave, which demonstrates the unsteady motion of the ship. Thanks to dynamic calculations substantiated by laboratory experiments, we prove that this oscillating regime is only temporary: the ship will escape the transient Ekman regime while maintaining its propulsion force, reaching the asymptotic Nansen limit. In addition, we show that the lateral confinement, often imposed by experimental setups or in harbors and locks, exacerbates oscillations and modifies the asymptotic speed.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to provide new perspectives on relative finite element accuracy which is usually based on the asymptotic speed of convergence comparison when the mesh size h goes to zero. Starting from a geometrical reading of the error estimate due to the Bramble–Hilbert lemma, we derive two probability distributions that estimate the relative accuracy, considered as a random variable, between two Lagrange finite elements {P_{k}} and {P_{m}} ({k<m}). We establish mathematical properties of these probabilistic distributions and we get new insights which, among others, show that {P_{k}} or {P_{m}} is more likely accurate than the other, depending on the value of the mesh size h.

This paper studies the spatial joint evolution of cooperative behavior and a partially assortative matching institution that protects cooperators. We consider cooperation as characterized by a cultural trait transmitted via an endogenous socialization mechanism and we assume that such trait can diffuse randomly in space due to some spatial noise in the socialization mechanism. Using mathematical techniques from reaction-diffusion equations theory, we show that, under some conditions, an initially localized domain of preferences for cooperation can invade the whole population and characterize the asymptotic speed of diffusion. We consider first the case with exogenous assortativeness, and then endogeneize the degree of social segmentation in matching, assuming that it is collectively set at each point of time and space by the local community. We show how relatively low cost segmenting institutions can appear in new places thanks to the spatial random diffusion of cooperation, helping a localized cultural cluster of cooperation to invade the whole population. The endogenous assortative matching institution follows a life cycle process: appearing, growing and then disappearing once a culture of cooperation is sufficiently established in the local population.
