LOCAL STABILITY OF TRAVELLING FRONTS FOR A DAMPED WAVE EQUATION

The paper is concerned with the long-time behaviour of the travelling fronts of the damped wave equation αutt ＋ut = uxx -V′（u） on R. The long-time asymptotics of the solutions of this equation are quite similar to those of the corresponding reaction-diffusion equation ut = uxx - V′（u）. Whereas a lot is known about the local stability of travelling fronts in parabolic systems, for the hyperbolic equations it is only briefly discussed when the potential V is of bistable type. However, for the combustion or monostable type of V, the problem is much more complicated. In this paper, a local stability result for travelling fronts of this equation with combustion type of nonlinearity is established. And then, the result is extended to the damped wave equation with a case of monostable pushed front.

Local stability analysis of a low-dissipation cyclic refrigerator

We study the local stability near the maximum figure of merit for the low-dissipation cyclic refrigerator,where the irreversible dissipation occurs not only in the thermal contacts but also the adiabatic strokes.We find that the bounds of the coefficient of performance at a maximum figure of merit or maximum cooling rate in the presence of internal dissipation are identical to those in the corresponding absence of internal dissipation.Using two different scenarios,we prove the existence of a single stable steady state for the refrigerator,and clarify the role of internal dissipation on the stability of the thermodynamic steady state,showing that the speed of system evolution to the steady state decreases due to internal dissipation.

Preventing Pressure Oscillations Does Not Fix Local Linear Stability Issues of Entropy-Based Split-Form High-Order Schemes

Recently,it was discovered that the entropy-conserving/dissipative high-order split-form discontinuous Galerkin discretizations have robustness issues when trying to solve the sim-ple density wave propagation example for the compressible Euler equations.The issue is related to missing local linear stability,i.e.,the stability of the discretization towards per-turbations added to a stable base flow.This is strongly related to an anti-diffusion mech-anism,that is inherent in entropy-conserving two-point fluxes,which are a key ingredi-ent for the high-order discontinuous Galerkin extension.In this paper,we investigate if pressure equilibrium preservation is a remedy to these recently found local linear stability issues of entropy-conservative/dissipative high-order split-form discontinuous Galerkin methods for the compressible Euler equations.Pressure equilibrium preservation describes the property of a discretization to keep pressure and velocity constant for pure density wave propagation.We present the full theoretical derivation,analysis,and show corresponding numerical results to underline our findings.In addition,we characterize numerical fluxes for the Euler equations that are entropy-conservative,kinetic-energy-preserving,pressure-equilibrium-preserving,and have a density flux that does not depend on the pressure.The source code to reproduce all numerical experiments presented in this article is available online(https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4054366).

Construction of a Computational Scheme for the Fuzzy HIV/AIDS Epidemic Model with a Nonlinear Saturated Incidence Rate

This work aimed to construct an epidemic model with fuzzy parameters.Since the classical epidemic model doesnot elaborate on the successful interaction of susceptible and infective people,the constructed fuzzy epidemicmodel discusses the more detailed versions of the interactions between infective and susceptible people.Thenext-generation matrix approach is employed to find the reproduction number of a deterministic model.Thesensitivity analysis and local stability analysis of the systemare also provided.For solving the fuzzy epidemic model,a numerical scheme is constructed which consists of three time levels.The numerical scheme has an advantage overthe existing forward Euler scheme for determining the conditions of getting the positive solution.The establishedscheme also has an advantage over existing non-standard finite difference methods in terms of order of accuracy.The stability of the scheme for the considered fuzzy model is also provided.From the plotted results,it can beobserved that susceptible people decay by rising interaction parameters.

Stability conditions for synchronization of networks with mixed couplings by linear stability analysis

This paper studies some special networks structured with serf-organized and driven behavior that coexist in a cluster, moreover, the clusters have dominant intra-cluster and inter-cluster couplings. It is called mixed-system （M-S） here. For this study linear stability analysis was used, and stability conditions for the synchronized state were determined. For the coupling function g（x）, the stability state of the network was discussed in two different cases： the linear case with g（x） = x and the nonlinear case with g（x） = f（x）. Furthermore, the condition for the emergence of chaos in the networks was given.

ON THE GLOBAL STABILITY CONJECTURE OF THE GENOTYPE SELECTION MODEL

In 1994, Grove, Kocic, Ladas, and Levin conjectured that the local stability and global stability conditions of the fixed point -y= 1/2 in the genotype selection model should be equivalent. In this article, we give an affirmative answer to this conjecture and prove that local stability implies global stability. Some illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the results.

Nonconforming local projection stabilization for generalized Oseen equations

A new method of nonconforming local projection stabilization for the gen- eralized Oseen equations is proposed by a nonconforming inf-sup stable element pair for approximating the velocity and the pressure. The method has several attractive features. It adds a local projection term only on the sub-scale （H ≥ h）. The stabilized term is simple compared with the residual-free bubble element method. The method can handle the influence of strong convection. The numerical results agree with the theoretical expectations very well.

DYNAMICAL BEHAVIOR OF AN INNOVATION DIFFUSION MODEL WITH INTRA-SPECIFIC COMPETITION BETWEEN COMPETING ADOPTERS

In this paper,we proposed an innovation diffusion model with three compartments to investigate the diffusion of an innovation(product)in a particular region.The model exhibits two equilibria,namely,the adopter-free and an interior equilibrium.The existence and local stability of the adopter-free and interior equilibria are explored in terms of the effective Basic Influence Number(BIN)R_(A).It is investigated that the adopter free steady-state is stable if R_(A)<1.By consideringτ(the adoption experience of the adopters)as the bifurcation parameter,we have been able to obtain the critical value ofτresponsible for the periodic solutions due to Hopf bifurcation.The direction and stability analysis of bifurcating periodic solutions has been performed by using the arguments of normal form theory and the center manifold theorem.Exhaustive numerical simulations in the support of analytical results have been presented.

An SIS epidemic model with diffusion

The aim of this paper is to study the diffusion. We first study the well-posedness of the dynamics of an SIS epidemic model with model. And then, by using linearization method and constructing suitable Lyapunov function, we establish the local and global stability of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium, respectively. Furthermore, in view of Schauder fixed point theorem, we show that the model admits traveling wave solutions con- necting the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium when R0 〉 1 and c 〉 c^＊. And also, by virtue of the two-sided Laplace transform, we prove that the model has no traveling wave solution connecting the two equilibria when R0 〉 1 and c ∈（0, c^＊）.

Qualitative Analysis of a Fractional Pandemic Spread Model of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

In this study,we classify the genera of COVID-19 and provide brief information about the root of the spread and the transmission from animal(natural host)to humans.We establish a model of fractional-order differential equations to discuss the spread of the infection from the natural host to the intermediate one,and from the intermediate one to the human host.At the same time,we focus on the potential spillover of bat-borne coronaviruses.We consider the local stability of the co-existing critical point of the model by using the Routh–Hurwitz Criteria.Moreover,we analyze the existence and uniqueness of the constructed initial value problem.We focus on the control parameters to decrease the outbreak from pandemic form to the epidemic by using both strong and weak Allee Effect at time t.Furthermore,the discretization process shows that the system undergoes Neimark–Sacker Bifurcation under specific conditions.Finally,we conduct a series of numerical simulations to enhance the theoretical findings.

Attitude control of a rigid spacecraft with one variable-speed control moment gyro

Nonlinear controllability and attitude stabilization are studied for the underactuated nonholonomic dynamics of a rigid spacecraft with one variable-speed control moment gyro （VSCMG）, which supplies only two internal torques. Nonlinear controllability theory is used to show that the dynamics are locally controllable from the equilibrium point and thus can be asymptotically stabilized to the equilibrium point via time-invariant piecewise continuous feedback laws or time-periodic continuous feedback laws. Specifically, when the total angular momentum of the spacecraft-VSCMG system is zero, any orientation can be a controllable equilib- rium attitude. In this case, the attitude stabilization problem is addressed by designing a kinematic stabilizing law, which is implemented through a nonlinear proportional and deriva- tive controller, using the generalized dynamic inverse （GDI） method. The steady-state instability inherent in the GDI con- troller is elegantly avoided by appropriately choosing control gains. In order to obtain the command gimbal rate and wheel acceleration from control torques, a simple steering logic is constructed to accommodate the requirements of attitude sta- bilization and singularity avoidance of the VSCMG. Illustrative numerical examples verify the efficacy of the proposed control strategy.

Mathematical Modeling of Malaria Transmission Dynamics: Case of Burundi

Burundi, a country in East Africa with a temperate climate, has experienced in recent years a worrying growth of the Malaria epidemic. In this paper, a deterministic model of the transmission dynamics of malaria parasite in mosquito and human populations was formulated. The mathematical model was developed based on the SEIR model. An epidemiological threshold, R0, called the basic reproduction number was calculated. The disease-free equilibrium point was locally asymptotically stable if R0 < 1 and unstable if R0 > 1. Using a Lyapunov function, we proved that this disease-free equilibrium point was globally asymptotically stable whenever the basic reproduction number is less than unity. The existence and uniqueness of endemic equilibrium were examined. With the Lyapunov function, we proved also that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R0 > 1. Finally, the system of equations was solved numerically according to Burundi’s data on malaria. The result from our model shows that, in order to reduce the spread of Malaria in Burundi, the number of mosquito bites on human per unit of time (σ), the vector population of mosquitoes (Nv), the probability of being infected for a human bitten by an infectious mosquito per unit of time (b) and the probability of being infected for a mosquito per unit of time (c) must be reduced by applying optimal control measures.

Dynamic analysis of a latent HIV infection model with CTL immune and antibody responses

This paper develops a mathematical model to investigate the Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV)infection dynamics.The model includes two transmission modes(cell-to-cell and cell-free),two adaptive immune responses(cytotoxic T-lymphocyte(CTL)and antibody),a saturated CTL immune response,and latent HIV infection.The existence and local stability of equilibria are fully characterized by four reproduction numbers.Through sensitivity analyses,we assess the partial rank correlation coefficients of these reproduction numbers and identify that the infection rate via cell-to-cell transmission,the number of new viruses produced by each infected cell during its life cycle,the clearance rate of free virions,and immune parameters have the greatest impact on the reproduction numbers.Additionally,we compare the effects of immune stimulation and cell-to-cell spread on the model's dynamics.The findings highlight the significance of adaptive immune responses in increasing the population of uninfected cells and reducing the numbers of latent cells,infected cells,and viruses.Furthermore,cell-to-cell transmission is identified as a facilitator of HIV transmission.The analytical and numerical results presented in this study contribute to a better understanding of HIV dynamics and can potentially aid in improving HIV management strategies.
