  • In this paper, A Riesz fractional diffusion equation with a nonlinear source term (RFDE-NST) is considered. This equation is commonly used to model the growth and spreading of biological species. According to the equivalent of the Riemann-Liouville(R-L) and $Gr\ddot{u}nwald$-Letnikov(G-L) fractional derivative definitions, an implicit difference approximation (IFDA) for the RFDE-NST is derived. We prove the IFDA is unconditionally stable and convergent. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the IFDA, a comparison with a fractional method of lines (FMOL) is used. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to show that the numerical results are in good agreement with our theoretical analysis.

  • In general, the positive solution to biological reaction-diffusion equations is not unique. In this paper, we state the sufficient and necessary conditions of the existence of positive solutions, and give and the proof for the uniqueness of positive solutions for a certain elliptic interacting system.

  • The process of chloride ingress in saturated concrete was presented by a previous study that used a mathematical model for the same as that concrete. This model is to be studied chloride ion diffusion which is considered as a chemical phenomenon and is to be represented the chloride diffusion process to be a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE). In this paper, this nonlinear PDE is solved by the Kirchhoff transformation to render into a linear PDE. This linear PDE associated with initial and boundary conditions is also solved by the Laplace transformation to obtain an analytical solution. To verify the serviceability and reliability of this proposed method, the practical application should be supplied. The input parameters were cited from the previous study. The free chloride concentration profiles obtained by the analytical solution of mathematical model for saturated concretes after 24 and 120 hrs of exposure were compared with the previous study. The predicted results obtained from proposed method have a tendency with experimental results obtained by the previous study and trend toward numerical results approximated by finite difference technique.

  • Finite difference schemes are considered for a $Ca^{2+}$ diffusion equations, which discribe $Ca^{2+}$ buffering by using stationary and mobile buffers. Stability and $L^\infty$ error estimates of approximate solutions for the corresponding schemes are obtained using the extended Lax-Richtmyer equivalence theorem.

  • A nonlinear iterative filtering based on local statistics and anisotropic diffusion is introduced. Local statistics determines the diffusion coefficient at each iteration step. Anisotropic diffusion can be seen as estimates a piecewise smooth image from the noisy input image in the experimental section, our results are shown to suppress noise with preserving the edges. Therefore, it enhances the image and improves performance.

  • In this paper we discussed Euler-Maruyama method for stochastic differential equations with jump diffusion. We give a convergence result for Euler-Maruyama where the coefficients of the stochastic differential equation are locally Lipschitz and the pth moments of the exact and numerical solution are bounded for some p > 2.

  • This paper presents the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DGFEM) for solving the rotating disk electrode problems in electrochemistry. We present results for the simple E reaction mechanism (convection-diffusion equations), the EC' reaction mechanism (reaction-convection-diffusion equation) and the ECE and $EC_2E$ reaction mechanisms (linear and nonlinear systems of reaction-convection-diffusion equations, respectively). All problems will be in one dimension.

  • We discuss the coexistence of positive solutions to certain strongly-coupled predator-prey elliptic systems under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The sufficient condition for the existence of positive solutions is expressed in terms of the spectral property of differential operators of nonlinear Schrödinger type which reflects the influence of the domain and nonlinearity in the system. Furthermore, applying the obtained results, we investigate the sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions of a predator-prey system with degenerate diffusion rates.
