Threshold values in population dynamics can be formulated as spectral bounds of matrices, determining the dichotomy of population persistence and extinction. For a square matrix $mu A + Q$, where $A$ is a quasi-positive matrix describing population dispersal among patches in a heterogeneous environment and $Q$ is a diagonal matrix encoding within-patch population dynamics, the monotonicy of its spectral bound with respect to dispersal speed/coupling strength/travel frequency $mu$ is established via two methods. The first method is an analytic derivation utilizing a graph-theoretic approach based on Kirchhoffs Matrix-Tree Theorem; the second method employs Collatz-Wielandt formula from matrix theory and complex analysis arguments. It turns out that our established result is a slightly strengthen version of Karlin-Altenbergs Theorem, which has previously been discovered independently while investigating reduction principle in evolution biology and evolution dispersal in patchy landscapes. Nevertheless, our result provides a new and effective approach in stability analysis of complex biological systems in a heterogeneous environment. We illustrate this by applying our result to well-known ecological models of single species, predator-prey and competition, and an epidemiological model of susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) type. We successfully solve some open problems in the literature of population dynamics.
In this paper we will develop a general approach which shows that generalized critical relations of families of locally defined holomorphic maps on the complex plane unfold transversally. The main idea is to define a transfer operator, which is a loc
Entrywise powers of matrices have been well-studied in the literature, and have recently received renewed attention in the regularization of high-dimensional correlation matrices. In this paper, we study powers of positive semidefinite block matrices
We investigate the large time behavior of $N$ particles restricted to a smooth closed curve in $mathbb{R}^d$ and subject to a gradient flow with respect to Euclidean hyper-singular repulsive Riesz $s$-energy with $s>1.$ We show that regardless of the
Systems with the coexistence of different stable attractors are widely exploited in systems biology in order to suitably model the differentiating processes arising in living cells. In order to describe genetic regulatory networks several determinist
The aim of this manuscript is to understand the dynamics of products of nonnegative matrices. We extend a well known consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem on the periodic points of a nonnegative matrix to products of finitely many nonnegative m
