Gissell Estrada-Rodríguez (DMAT, CRM) Mathematical modelling of biological, physical, and social phenomena using partial differential equations (PDEs) to describe the average behaviour of underlying microscopic (individual-level) dynamics has received significant attention [6, 11]. Since A. Turing’s foundational …

Inmaculada Baldomá Barraca (DMAT, CRM) In a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological systems modelling the interaction among different species, the dynamics of each species is usually governed by a diffusion mechanism together with a reaction …
