Spatio-temporal dynamics in a diffusive Bazykin model: effects of group defense and prey-taxis

Abstract

Mathematical modeling and analysis of spatial-temporal population distributions of interacting species have gained significant attention in biology and ecology in recent times. In this work, we investigate a Bazykin-type prey-predator model with a non-monotonic functional response to account for the group defense among the prey population. Various local and global bifurcations are identified in the temporal model. Depending on the parameter values and initial conditions, the temporal model can exhibit long stationary or oscillatory transient states due to the presence of a local saddle-node bifurcation or a global saddle-node bifurcation of limit cycles, respectively. We further incorporate the movement of the populations consisting of a diffusive flux modelling random motion and an advective flux modelling group defense-induced prey-taxis of the predator population. The global existence and boundedness of the spatio-temporal solutions are established using $L^p$-$L^q$ estimate. We also demonstrate the existence of a non-homogeneous stationary solution near the Turing thresholds using weakly nonlinear analysis. A few interesting phenomena, which include extinction inside the Turing region, long stationary transient state, and non-homogeneous oscillatory solutions inside the Hopf region, are also identified.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
