A Mass Preserving Numerical Scheme for Kinetic Equations that Model Social Phenomena
Yassin Bahid, Eduardo Corona, Nancy Rodriguez
In recent years, kinetic equations have been used to model many social phenomena. A key feature of these models is that transition rate kernels involve Dirac delta functions, which…

A study of general reaction-advection-diffusion equations describing dynamics between target, partaker, and guardian
Madi Yerlanov, Nancy Rodriguez
This paper introduces a reaction-advection-diffusion system that models interactions among three actors: a target, a partaker, and a guardian. The framework is versatile, capturing…
