Laboratory of Mathematical Analysis
Research in the Laboratory
We investigate dynamical systems and differential equations arising from natural phenomena, specially from ecology. There are two approaches to our studies. At first we try to solve the equations (if possible) and investigate the nature of their solutions. However it is difficult to directly solve the equations in general. So we develop new mathematical tools and try to get essential information from the equations. Yoshida investigates differential equations, specially the system of equations describing chemotactic aggregation of cellular slime molds which move towards high concentrations of chemical substance. Nakaki studies differential equations concerning vortex problems and moving boundary problems. Irie investigates the complex system. Hiraoka studies dynamical systems.
