Efficient numerical methods to solve some reaction-diffusion problems arising in biology
(2013)In this thesis, we solve some time-dependent partial differential equations, and systems of such equations, that governs reaction-diffusion models in biology. we design and implement some novel exponential time differencing ... -
High Accuracy Fitted Operator Methods for Solving Interior Layer Problems
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Fitted operator finite difference methods (FOFDMs) for singularly perturbed problems have been explored for the last three decades. The construction of these numerical schemes is based on introducing a fitting factor ... -
A mathematical model for studying the impact of climate variability on malaria epidemics in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Malaria is most prevalent in tropical climates, where there are sufficient rainfall for mosquitoes to breed and conducive temperatures for both the mosquito and protozoa to live. A slight change in temperature can ... -
Robust computational methods to simulate slow-fast dynamical systems governed by predator-prey models
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Numerical approximations of multiscale problems of important applications in ecology are investigated. One of the class of models considered in this work are singularly perturbed (slow-fast) predator-prey systems which ...
