Goal
It is believed that the understanding of the dynamics in biological systems plays a key role in extracting biological mechanisms. Motivated by this, we will introduce some mathematical tools to analyze the dynamical behavior observed in a number of biological models, and then give the biological implications of these studies. The following topics will be covered.
(1) Dynamics and propagation phenomena of reaction-diffusion equations;
(2) Applications of delay equations;
(3) Mathematical models with resource storage
(4) Bifurcation analysis of evolutional equations.

(i) Professor Xing Liang
School of Mathematics Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, China Title: Dynamics and propagation phenomena of reaction-diffusion equations
Abstract:
In this lecture, we will consider the reaction-diffusion equation ut = A[u] + f(x, t, u). Here A is supposed to be a second-order uniformly elliptic operator. We always suppose that the domain under considearation is a domain in the n-dimensional Euclidean space or the entire Euclidean space.

Title: Applications of delay equations
Lecture 1: Introduction to the applications of delay equations.
Abstract: I will illustrate the wide range of applications of delay differential equations, including both engineering and biological applications, with an emphasis on what we can learn from linearised analysis.
Lecture 2: Delay equations in the study of insect-borne diseases.
Abstract: Insect-borne diseases include diseases that are carried by flying insects, such as malaria (carried by mosquitoes) and bluetongue (carried by midges). This talk will include an overview of some delay equation models for insect-borne diseases. More sophisticated models can incorporate insecticiding and the problem of insecticide resistance.
Lecture 3: Age-dependent toxicity in plant chemical defences and herbivore feeding behaviour.
Abstract: This lecture will show how we can use age-dependence and delay equations to aid our understanding of the evolution of plant chemical defenses and herbivore feeding behaviour.
