To any tree on n vertices we associate an n-dimensional Lotka–Volterra system with (3n-2) parameters and, for generic values of the parameters, prove it is superintegrable, i.e. it admits (n-1) functionally independent integrals. We also show how each system can be reduced to an ((n-1))-dimensional system which is superintegrable and solvable by quadratures.
We consider two different (text {SU}(2)^2)-invariant cohomogeneity one manifolds, one non-compact (M=mathbb {R}^4 times S^3) and one compact (M=S^4 times S^3), and study the existence of coclosed (text {SU}(2)^2)-invariant (G_2)-structures constructed from half-flat (text {SU}(3))-structures. For (mathbb {R}^4 times S^3), we prove the existence of a family of coclosed (but not necessarily torsion-free) (G_2)-structures which is given by three smooth functions satisfying certain boundary conditions around the singular orbit and a non-zero parameter. Moreover, any coclosed (G_2)-structure constructed from a half-flat (text {SU}(3))-structure is in this family. For (S^4 times S^3), we prove that there are no (text {SU}(2)^2)-invariant coclosed (G_2)-structures constructed from half-flat (text {SU}(3))-structures.
In this paper, we give the first rigorous justification of the Benjamin-Ono equation:
as an internal water wave model on the physical time scale. Here, ({varepsilon }) is a small parameter measuring the weak nonlinearity of the waves, (mu ) is the shallowness parameter, and (gamma in (0,1)) is the ratio between the densities of the two fluids. To be precise, we first prove the existence of a solution to the internal water wave equations for a two-layer fluid with surface tension, where one layer is of shallow depth and the other is of infinite depth. The existence time is of order ({mathcal {O}}(frac{1}{{varepsilon }})) for a small amount of surface tension such that ({varepsilon }^2 le textrm{bo}^{-1} ) where (textrm{bo}) is the Bond number. Then, we show that these solutions are close, on the same time scale, to the solutions of the BO equation with a precision of order ({mathcal {O}}(mu + textrm{bo}^{-1})). In addition, we provide the justification of new equations with improved dispersive properties, the Benjamin equation, and the Intermediate Long Wave (ILW) equation in the deep-water limit.
The long-time well-posedness of the two-layer fluid problem was first studied by Lannes [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 208(2):481-567, 2013] in the case where both fluids have finite depth. Here, we adapt this work to the case where one of the fluid domains is of finite depth, and the other one is of infinite depth. The novelties of the proof are related to the geometry of the problem, where the difference in domains alters the functional setting for the Dirichlet-Neumann operators involved. In particular, we study the various compositions of these operators that require a refined symbolic analysis of the Dirichlet-Neumann operator on infinite depth and derive new pseudo-differential estimates that might be of independent interest.
In two dimensions, we propose and analyse an iterative a posteriori error indicator for the discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations of the Stokes equations under boundary conditions of friction type. Two sources of error are identified here, namely; the discretisation error and the linearization error. Under a smallness assumption on data, we prove that the devised error estimator is reliable. Balancing these two errors is crucial to design an adaptive strategy for mesh refinement. We illustrate the theory with some representative numerical examples.
Biological invasions significantly impact native ecosystems, altering ecological processes and community behaviors through predation and competition. The introduction of non-native species can lead to either coexistence or extinction within local habitats. Our research develops a lizard population model that integrates aspects of competition, intraguild predation, and the dispersal behavior of intraguild prey. We analyze the model to determine the existence and stability of various ecological equilibria, uncovering the potential for bistability under certain conditions. By employing the dispersal rate as a bifurcation parameter, we reveal complex bifurcation dynamics associated with the positive equilibrium. Additionally, we conduct a two-parameter bifurcation analysis to investigate the combined impact of dispersal and intraguild predation on ecological structures. Our findings indicate that intraguild predation not only influences the movement patterns of brown anoles but also plays a crucial role in sustaining the coexistence of different lizard species in diverse habitats.
Single cell RNA-seq (scRNAseq) workflows typically start with a count matrix and end with the clustering of sampled cells. While a range of methods have been developed to cluster scRNAseq datasets, no theoretical tools exist to explain why a particular cluster exists or why a hypothesized cluster is missing. Recently, several authors have shown that eigenvalues of scRNAseq count matrices can be approximated using random matrix models. In this work, we extend these previous works to the study of a scRNAseq workflow. We model scaled count matrices using random matrices with normally distributed entries. Using these random matrix models, we quantify the differential expression of a cluster and develop predictions for the workflow, and in particular clustering, as a function of the differential expression. We also use results from random matrix theory (RMT) to develop predictive formulas for portions of the scRNAseq workflow. Using simulated and real datasets, we show that our predictions are accurate if certain conditions hold on differential expression, with our RMT based predictions requiring particularly stringent condition. We find that real datasets violate these conditions, leading to bias in our predictions, but our predictions are better than a naive estimator and we point out future work that can improve the predictions. To our knowledge, our formulas represents the first predictive results for scRNAseq workflows.
