Abstract:
A three-component competition system is modeled as a reaction-diffusion process. An exact analytical solution has been found that indicates that in certain situations the classical results on extinction and coexistence of Lotka-Volterra-type equations are no longer valid. Cases with one or both predators diffuse are analyzed, and the stability question is discussed.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
