abstract:
The history of the theory of reaction-di usion systems begins with the three fa-mous works by Luther (1906), Fisher and Kolmogorov etc. (1937). Since these seminal papers much research has been carried out in an attempt to extend the origi nal results to more complicated systems which arise in several elds. For example, in ecology and biology the early systematic treatment of dispersion models of biological populations [Skellam (1951)] assumed random movement. There the probability that an individual which at time t = 0 is at the point 1 moves to the point x2 in the interval of time t is the same as that of moving from x2 to x1 during the same time interval. On this basis the di usion coecient in the classical models of population dispersion appears as constant. In this talk, we study the case that some species migrate from densely populated  areas into sparsely populated areas to void crowding, and investigate a more general reaction-di usion system by considering density-dependent dispersion as a regulatory mechanism of the cyclic changes. Here the probability that an animal moves from the point x1 to x2 depends on the density at x1. Under certain conditions, we apply the higher terms in the Taylor series and the center manifold method to obtain the local behavior around a non-hyperbolic point of codimension one in the pase plane, and  use the Lie symmetry reduction method to explore bounded traveling wave solutions.Numerical simulation and biological explanation are presented.
