Dr. V.S. Manoranjan, of the University of  Dundee  will
speak on ``Bifurcation Studies in Reaction-Diffusion''.

TIME:                2:30 PM

ROOM:              MC 6007

ABSTRACT

The Reaction-Diffusion problem

has attracted much attention in the  recent  past.   In
this  seminar  we  consider  the  above problem, obtain
estimates for the critical lengths  of  the  domain  at
which  bifurcation occurs in the cases $ b~=~0,~a~+~1 $
and present some numerical results based on time depen-
dent  numerical studies for a range of values of $ b $,
giving particular attention to the solutions  bifurcat-
ing from the equilibrium state $ u~=~a $.
