        报告题目：Lie symmetries to Degenerate Parabolic Systems

        摘要：The history of the theory of reaction-diffusion systems beginswith the three famous works by Luther (1906), Fisher andKolmogorov etc. (1937). Since these seminal papers much researchhas been carried out in an attempt to extend the original resultsto more complicated systems which arise in several fields. Forexample, in ecology and biology the early systematic treatment ofdispersion models of biological populations [Skellam (1951)]assumed random movement. There the probability that an individualwhich at time $t=0$ is at the point $x_1$ moves to the point $x_2$in the interval of time $\Delta t$ is the same as that of movingfrom $x_2$ to $x_1$ during the same time interval. On this basisthe diffusion coefficient in the classical models of populationdispersion appears as constant.In this talk, we introduce the Lie symmetry reduction method andapply it to study the case that some species migrate fromdensely populated areas into sparsely populated areas to avoidcrowding. We consider a more general parabolic systemby considering density-dependent dispersion as a regulatorymechanism of the cyclic changes. Here the probability that ananimal moves from the point $x_1$ to $x_2$ depends on the densityat $x_1$. Under certain conditions, we apply the higher terms inthe Taylor series and the center manifold method to obtain thelocal behavior around a non-hyperbolic point of codimension one inthe phase plane, and use the Lie symmetry reduction method toexplore bounded traveling wave solutions.
