Reaction Diffusion Equation general solution

I have been struggling to find the general solution of the following BVP of reaction-diffusion equation: $$\frac{\partial N}{\partial t}=\frac{\partial^2 N}{\partial x^2}+N(1-N)-\sigma N$$ $$N(0,x)=...

Lyapunov Function at Fixed Point

Given the following system: $$\frac{dx}{dt} = x\left(2-x-y\right)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt} = x-y$$ I found fixed points $(0,0)$ and $(1,1)$. I then want to show that this function is Lyapunov for $x>0$ :...

Constructing a trapping region in a 2D dynamical system

Consider a system of the form $$\frac{d}{dt}x \enspace = \enspace 2-\left(b+1\right)x + ax^2y$$ $$\frac{d}{dt}y\enspace=\enspace bx-ax^2y$$ This is the context of some homework I have. I've already ...

What was the idea behind Logistic growth model?

The Malthus model is given by $\frac{dP(t)}{dt}=rP(t)$, where $r$ is the growth rate. This model ignores the competition for resources among individuals. So, Verhulst came up with a model $\frac{...
