The book provides a self-contained and complete description of the long time evolution of the solutions to a class of one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations, in which the diffusion is given by an integral operator. The underlying motivation is the mathematical analysis of models for biological invasions. The model under study, while simple looking, is of current use in real-life situations. Interestingly, it arises in totally different contexts, such as the study of branching random walks in probability theory. While the model has attracted a lot of attention, and while many partial results about the time-asymptotic behaviour of its solutions have been proved over the last decades, some basic questions on the sharp asymptotics have remained unanswered. One ambition of this monograph is to close these gaps. In some of the situations that we envisage, the level sets organise themselves into an invasion front that is asymptotically linear in time, up to a correction that converges exponentially in time to a constant. In other situations that constitute the main and newest part of the work, the correction is asymptotically logarithmic in time. Despite these apparently different behaviours, there is an underlying common way of thinking that is underlined. At the end of each chapter, a long set of problems is proposed, many of them rather elaborate and suitable for master’s projects or even the first question in a PhD thesis. Open questions are also discussed. The ideas presented in the book apply to more elaborate systems modelling biological invasions or the spatial propagation of epidemics. The models themselves may be multidimensional, but they all have in common a mechanism imposing the propagation in a given direction; examples are presented in the problems that conclude each chapter. These ideas should also be useful in the treatment of further models that we are not able to envisage for the time being. The book is suitable for graduate or PhD students as well as researchers.

The Eastern Front A History of the Great War 1914-1918 [Audiobook]


Free Download The Eastern Front: A History of the Great War 1914-1918 (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0DDRFSG6S | 2024 | 22 hours and 43 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 648 MB
Author: Nick Lloyd
Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick

The first major history in fifty years of the often overlooked Eastern Front of the First World War. Drawing on the latest scholarship as well as eyewitness reports, diary entries, and memoirs, Lloyd moves from the great battles of 1914 to the final collapse of the Central Powers in 1918, showing how a local struggle between Austria-Hungary and Serbia spiraled into a massive conflagration that pulled in Germany, Russia, Italy, Romania, and Bulgaria. Lloyd narrates the repeated invasions of Serbia as well as the great battles between Russian, German, and Austrian forces at Tannenberg, Komarow, Gorlice-Tarnow, and the Masurian Lakes. All along, he takes us into the strategy of the generals who decided the war’s course, from the Germans Ludendorff and Hindenburg to the Austro-Hungarian chief, Conrad von Hötzendorf, to the brilliant Russian Brusilov. Perhaps the most radical aspect of the struggle in the east was that the violence was not confined to combatants. The Eastern Front witnessed calculated attacks against civilians that ripped the ethnic and religious fabric of numerous societies, paving the way for the horrors of the Holocaust. Lloyd’s magisterial, definitive account of the war in the east will fundamentally alter our understanding of the cataclysmic events that reshaped Europe and the world.
