Abstract Adjacent dyadic systems are pivotal in analysis and related fields to study continuous objects via collections of dyadic ones. In our prior work (joint with Jiang, Olson, and Wei), we describe precise necessary and sufficient conditions for two dyadic systems on the real line to be adjacent. Here, we extend this work to all dimensions, which turns out to have many surprising difficulties due to the fact that $d+1$ , not $2^d$ , grids is the optimal number in an adjacent dyadic system in $\mathbb {R}^d$ . As a byproduct, we show that a collection of $d+1$ dyadic systems in $\mathbb {R}^d$ is adjacent if and only if the projection of any two of them onto any coordinate axis are adjacent on $\mathbb {R}$ . The underlying geometric structures that arise in this higher-dimensional generalization are interesting objects themselves, ripe for future study; these lead us to a compact, geometric description of our main result. We describe these structures, along with what adjacent dyadic (and n -adic, for any n ) systems look like, from a variety of contexts, relating them to previous work, as well as illustrating a specific exa.more » « less

It is well known that relocation strategies in ecology can make the difference between extinction and persistence. We consider a reaction-advection-diffusion framework to analyze movement strategies in the context of species which are subject to a strong Allee effect. The movement strategies we consider are a combination of random Brownian motion and directed movement through the use of an environmental signal. We prove that a population can overcome the strong Allee effect when the signals are super-harmonic. In other words, an initially small population can survive in the long term if they aggregate sufficiently fast. A sharp result is provided for a specific signal that can be related to the Fokker-Planck equation for the Orstein-Uhlenbeck process. We also explore the case of pure diffusion and pure aggregation and discuss their benefits and drawbacks, making the case for a suitable combination of the two as a better strategy.
