數(shù)學學院邀請加拿大紐芬蘭紀念大學趙曉強教授作學術(shù)報告

        應佛山大學數(shù)學學院副院長吳楚芬教授的邀請，加拿大紐芬蘭紀念大學趙曉強教授于5月20日，在致用樓501開展了主題關(guān)于“Propagation Dynamics of Reaction and Diffusion Equations in a Time-heterogeneous Shifting Environment”的學術(shù)報告。副院長吳楚芬教授主持學術(shù)講座，學院微分方程與分析團隊年輕博士與研究生參會。

        報告摘要:In this talk, I will report our recent research on the propagation dynamics of a large class of time and space heterogeneous reaction-diffusion equations in a shifting environment. Let  $c^*$ be the spreading speed of the associated limiting equation. Under the assumption that the shifting speed admits a uniform mean $c$, we show that the solutions with compactly supported initial data go to zero eventually when $c \leq -c^*$, the leftward spreading speed is $-c^*$ when $c > -c^*$, and the rightward spreading speed is $c$ and $c^*$ when $c\in (-c^*,c^*)$ and $c \geq c^*$, respectively. We also establish the existence, uniqueness and nonexistence of the forced traveling wave in terms of the sign of $c-c^*$, and further apply this result to obtain the existence of almost periodic traveling waves for nonautonomous SIS epidemic models.
