Abstract: In this paper, harmonic wavelets, which are analytically defined and band limited, are studied, together with their differentiable properties. Harmonic wavelets were recently applied to the solution of evolution problems and, more generally, to describe evolution operators. In order to consider the evolution of a solitary profile (and to focus on the localization property of wavelets), it seems to be more expedient to make use of functions with limited compact support (either in space or in frequency). The connection coefficients of harmonic wavelets are explicitly computed (in the following) at any order, and characterized by some recursive formulas. In particular, they are functionally and finitely defined by a simple formula for any order of the basis derivatives. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper, the author investigates two-species nonautonomous delay diffusive preypredator models with Michaelis-Menten functional response. Sufficient conditions are derived for permanence of the species. Further, the author also establishs the sufficient conditions that guarantee the arbitrary positive periodic solution of the systems is global attractive. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper, nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton interaction with general uptake functions in which nutrient recycling is either instantaneous or delayed is considered. To account for higher predation, zooplankton''s death rate is modeled by a quadratic term instead of the usual linear function. Persistence conditions for each of the delayed and nondelayed models are derived. Numerical simulations with data from the existing literature are explored to compare the two models. It is demonstrated numerically that increasing zooplankton death rate can eliminate periodic solutions of the system in both the instantaneous and the delayed nutrient recycling models. However, the delayed nutrient recycling can actually stabilize the nutrient-plankton interaction. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
