Abstract：
:We consider a single-species model which is composed of several patches connected by linear migration rates and having logistic growth with a threshold. We show the existence of an aggregating mechanism that allows the survival of a species which is in danger of extinction due to its low population density. Numerical experiments illustrate these results.

杂志文章abstract：:A multicompartmental model is proposed to deal with the spread of the HIV epidemic. Stratification with respect to high- and low-risk groups is taken into account, introducing a "fuzzy" decomposition of the compartment of susceptibles. The infectivity period is staged using different levels of CD4 cell counts. Asympto...
