Aggregation mechanism of biological species : from microscopic
and macroscopic viewpoints (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
There are a lot of organisms which form aggregation in nature. In order to describe the dynamics of such biological species, a particle model is often proposed, which is based on the random walk from the microscopic point of view. On the other hand, when we take population densities of biological species into account, the dynamics is expressed as partial differential equations. We see that different models are proposed according to the viewpoints which we are focusing on. In this talk, we take aggregation phenomena of biological species as an example, and introduce a relation between a microscopic particle model and a macroscopic partial differential equation model.
