Abstract

Fractional diffusions arise in the study of models from population dynamics. In this paper, we derive a class of integro-differential reaction-diffusion equations from simple principles. We then prove an approximation result for the first eigenvalue of linear integro-differential operators of the fractional diffusion type, and we study from that the dynamics of a population in a fragmented environment with fractional diffusion.
