Modeling of Biological Aggregation Patterns

  • Chapter
Biomathematics and Related Computational Problems

Abstract

Mathematical models of aggregation of biological organisms in one dimensional space are discussed taking into account the density dependent dispersive motion and the environmental potential field. Introducing three types of potential functions, the stationary distributions are analytically obtained for a single and mutually exclusive two-species populations.
