A nonlocal model of epidemic network with nonlimited transmission: Global existence and uniqueness

Following \cite{ipel1}, we consider a nonlinear SIS-type nonlocal system describing the spread of epidemics on networks, assuming nonlimited transmission, We prove local existence of a unique solution for any diffusion coefficients and global existence in the case of equal diffusion coefficients. Next we study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution and show that the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) is linearly and globally asymptotically stable when the total mean population is small. Finally, we prove that the solution of the system converge to the $DFE$.

Convergence to a propagating front in a degenerate Fisher-KPP equation with advection

We consider a Fisher-KPP equation with density-dependent diffusion and advection, arising from a chemotaxis-growth model. We study its behavior as a small parameter, related to the thickness of a diffuse interface, tends to zero. We analyze, for small times, the emergence of transition layers induced by a balance between reaction and drift effects. Then we investigate the propagation of the layers. Convergence to a free-boundary limit problem is proved and a sharp estimate of the thickness of the layers is provided.

The singular limit of a haptotaxis model with bistable growth

We consider a model for haptotaxis with bistable growth and study its singular limit. This yiels an interface motion where the normal velocity of the interface depends on the mean curvature and on some nonlocal haptotaxis term. We prove the result for general initial data after establishing a result about generation of interface in a small time.

Mass conserved Allen-Cahn equation and volume preserving mean curvature flow

We consider a mass conserved Allen-Cahn equation $u_t=Δu+ \e^{-2} (f(u)-\eλ(t))$ in a bounded domain with no flux boundary condition, where $\eλ(t)$ is the average of $f(u(\cdot,t))$ and $-f$ is the derivative of a double equal well potential. Given a smooth hypersurface $γ_0$ contained in the domain, we show that the solution $u^\e$ with appropriate initial data approaches, as $\e\searrow0$, to a limit which takes only two values, with the jump occurring at the hypersurface obtained from the volume preserving mean curvature flow starting from $γ_0$.
