A hyperbolic reaction-diffusion model is developed in the framework of Extended Thermodynamics in order to describe the spatio-temporal dynamics of populations afflicted by chronic wasting diseases. The hyperbolic structure of the system guarantees that the wave processes occur at finite velocity, so that the paradox of instantaneous diffusion, typical of parabolic systems, is removed. The character of steady states, together with the Hopf bifurcation, are investigated through linear stability analysis. The model is integrated numerically to valuate the behavior of the populations. Finally, the propagation of acceleration waves is analyzed.

Abstract
A hyperbolic reaction-diffusion model is developed in the framework of Extended Thermodynamics in order to describe the spatio-temporal dynamics of populations afflicted by chronic wasting diseases. The hyperbolic structure of the system guarantees that the wave processes occur at finite velocity, so that the paradox of instantaneous diffusion, typical of parabolic systems, is removed. The character of steady states, together with the Hopf bifurcation, are investigated through linear stability analysis. The model is integrated numerically to valuate the behavior of the populations. Finally, the propagation of acceleration waves is analyzed.Pubblicazioni consigliate
