Individual-based models (IBMs) accurately describe nonlinear interactions at the organism level and the stochastic spatial dynamics that drives pattern formation, but their computational cost scales quickly with system complexity, limiting their practical use. Population-level approximations such as spatial moment dynamics (SMD)—which describe the moments of organism distributions—and coarse-grained biomass density models have been developed to address this limitation. However, the extent to which these approximated descriptions accurately capture the spatial patterns and population sizes emerging from individual-level simulations remains an open question. We investigate this issue considering a prototypical population dynamics IBM with long-range dispersal and intraspecific competition, for which we derive both its SMD and coarse-grained density approximations. We systematically compare the performance of these two approximations at predicting IBM population abundances and spatial patterns. Our results highlight that SMD and density-based approximations complement each other by correctly capturing these two population features within different parameter regimes. Importantly, we identify regions of the parameter space in which neither approximation performed well, which should encourage the development of more refined IBM approximation approaches.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"477 ","pages":"Article 134703"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143917802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The state-of-the-art for today is the logarithmic negativity, calculated through the quantum Langevin equations subjected to thermal noise. However, due to its complexity, this method requires further approximation. Namely, after the linearization procedure, quantum operators are replaced by their semiclassical expectation values calculated near the steady state. However, the phase space of a generic nonlinear system contains topologically different regions, and the steady state may correspond to the different types of fixed points, such as Saddle Points, Stable or unstable Spirals, and Nodes. Through the conventional linearization procedure, one obtains equations for the photon and magnon number operators, but the character of the fixed point is unexplored. In the present work, we propose a new procedure. Namely, we derived the complete set of nonlinear equations, which includes equations for the magnon and photon number operators and phases. We show that not only number operators but also phases are important for exploring the character of the fixed point, and the character of the fixed point influences the magnon–photon entanglement. We showed that methods of the qualitative theory of nonlinear differential equations are also relevant for photon–magnon entanglement problems. Our main finding is that entanglement is not defined in the Saddle Point region. On the other hand, the maximum of the entanglement corresponds to the region near the border between the Stable node and Stable spiral regions. Our approach is quite general. However, we did calculations for a particular system: photon–magnon crystal based on the yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film with the periodic air holes drilled in the film. Our interest focuses on magnons with a particular wavelength and frequency corresponding to the magnon condensate. Those magnons couple strongly with the photons of similar frequency. We discuss in detail the interaction between magnons and photons originating from the magneto-electric coupling and the effective Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction.
