ABSTRACT OF THE TALK

The migration strategy of a biological species is one of the key ingredients for the survival of the species. In this talk I will briefly discuss simple mathematical models and their properties in the context of competition and chemotaxis models. We will also briefly discuss about thermal diffusion which is a chemistry version of the theory.
