Analysis/solution<br />

Overview<br />

Moment equations, with choices<br />

More general challenges<br />

References<br />

Kernel choices: Laplacian, modied Bessel, top hat (Birch<br />

and Young, 2006; Ovaskainen and Cornell, 2006)): compact<br />

support works<br />

Dimensionality<br />

Parameter choices: length scale (competition vs dispersal vs<br />

environment), eective neighborhood size<br />

Fourier or Hankel trans<strong>for</strong>m often simplies analysis (but again<br />

depends on closure)<br />
