Bifurcation analysis of a nonlocal two-communication mechanism model for animal aggregation with O(2)-symmetry
Alinas, Alberto Quintin N. (2016-12-19)The study of animal aggregations has become a topic of great interest due to its practical applications and theoretical significance. The common occurrence of these aggregations in nature lead to a large variety of models ... -
Energy-economic model for transition to renewables
Mizanski, John S. (2013-05-01)Presented in this thesis is a macro-economic model based on a three-factor production function, utilizing energy, capital, and labour as the three production factors. With a primary focus on energy production we include ... -
On matrix-free pseudo-arclength continuation methods applied to a nonlocal partial differential equation in 1+1D with pseudo-spectral time-stepping
Kovacic, Mitchell (2013-08-01)In this thesis we examine a recent animal aggregation model which describes the evolution of two populations of animals moving on a 1-dimensional spatial domain differing only by the direction they travel. The equations ... -
Study of a 2 dimensional aggregation model with non-linear adaptations
Frawley, Eryn (2018-08-01)In this paper we will explore the impacts on collective animal motion of adding non-linearity to the animals’ turning rate in a 2-dimensional model of aggregation. The model in question was proposed by Fetecau and implements ...
