Imagine barnacles and mussels spreading across the surface of a rock. Barnacles propagate to adjacent unfilled spots. Mussels too, but they can only attach to barnacles. Barnacles with a mussel on top no longer spread. What conditions on the rock geometry (i.e. graph) and spreading rates ensure that barnacles can survive? Coexistence is closely related to the classical but still mysterious Richardson growth model. We will explain this connection and the extent of our rigorous understanding.For more information, call 845-758-7266, or e-mail [email protected].
