Study of Fractional Order Dynamical System of Viral Infection Disease under Piecewise Derivative

This research aims to understand the fractional order dynamics of the deadly Nipah virus(NiV)disease.We focus on using piecewise derivatives in the context of classical and singular kernels of power operators in the Caputo sense to investigate the crossover behavior of the considered dynamical system.We establish some qualitative results about the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the proposed problem.By utilizing the Newtonian polynomials interpolation technique,we recall a powerful algorithm to interpret the numerical findings for the aforesaid model.Here,we remark that the said viral infection is caused by an RNA type virus which can transmit from animals and also from an infected person to person.Fruits bats which are also known as flying foxes are one of the sources of transmission of NiV disease.Here in this work,we investigate its transmission mechanism through some new concepts of fractional calculus for further analysis and prediction.We present the approximate results for different compartments using different fractional orders.By using the piecewise derivative concept,we detect the crossover ormulti-steps behavior in the transmission dynamics of the mentioned disease.Therefore,the considered form of the derivative is used to deal with problems exhibiting crossover behaviors.

Dynamical Analysis of the Stochastic COVID-19 Model Using Piecewise Differential Equation Technique

Various data sets showing the prevalence of numerous viral diseases have demonstrated that the transmission is not truly homogeneous.Two examples are the spread of Spanish flu and COVID-19.The aimof this research is to develop a comprehensive nonlinear stochastic model having six cohorts relying on ordinary differential equations via piecewise fractional differential operators.Firstly,the strength number of the deterministic case is carried out.Then,for the stochastic model,we show that there is a critical number RS0 that can predict virus persistence and infection eradication.Because of the peculiarity of this notion,an interesting way to ensure the existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution characterized by the stochastic COVID-19 model is established by creating a sequence of appropriate Lyapunov candidates.Adetailed ergodic stationary distribution for the stochastic COVID-19 model is provided.Our findings demonstrate a piecewise numerical technique to generate simulation studies for these frameworks.The collected outcomes leave no doubt that this conception is a revolutionary doorway that will assist mankind in good perspective nature.

Crossing Limit Cycles of Planar Piecewise Hamiltonian Systems with Linear Centers Separated by Two Parallel Straight Lines

In this paper, we have studied several classes of planar piecewise Hamiltonian systems with three zones separated by two parallel straight lines. Firstly, we give the maximal number of limit cycles in these classes of systems with a center in two zones and without equilibrium points in the other zone (or with a center in one zone and without equilibrium points in the other zones). In addition, we also give examples to illustrate that it can reach the maximal number.

A Piecewise Linear Slope Compensation Circuit for DC-DC Converters

To prevent sub-harmonic oscillation and improve the stability and load capacity of the system,a piecewise linear slope compensation circuit is designed. Compared with the traditional design, this circuit provides a compensation signal whose slope varies from different duty cycles at - 40-85℃ ,and reduces the negative effect of slope compensation on the system＇s load capacity and transient response. A current mode PWM Boost DC-DC converter employing this slope compensation circuit is implemented in a UMC 0.6μm-BCD process. The results indicate that the circuit works well and effectively,and the load capacity is increased by 20%. The chip area of the piecewise linear slope compensation circuit is 0.01mm^2 ,which consumes only 8μA quiescent current,and the efficiency ranges up to 93%.

A Piecewise-Linear Compensated Bandgap Reference

A bandgap voltage reference is presented with a piecewise linear compensating circuit in order to reduce the temperature coefficient.The basic principle is to divide the whole operating temperature range into some sub ranges.At different temperature sub ranges the bandgap reference can be compensated by different linear functions.Since the temperature sub range is much narrower than the whole range,the compensation error can be reduced significantly.Theoretically,the precision can be improved unlimitedly if the sub ranges are narrow enough.In the given example,with only three temperature sub ranges,the temperature coefficient of a conventional bandgap reference drops from 1 5×10 -5 /℃ to 2×10 -6 /℃ over the -40℃ to 120℃ temperature range.

Analytical Model for the Piecewise Linearly Graded Doping Drift Region in LDMOS

A novel 2D analytical model for the doping profile of the bulk silicon RESURF LDMOS drift region is proposed. According to the proposed model, to obtain good performance, the doping profile in the total drift region of a RESURF LDMOS with a field plate should be piecewise linearly graded. The breakdown voltage of the proposed RESURF LDMOS with a piecewise linearly graded doping drift region is improved by 58. 8%, and the specific on-resistance is reduced by 87. 4% compared with conventional LDMOS. These results are verified by the two-dimensional process simulator Tsuprem-4 and the device simulator Medici.

CALCULATING ACCURATE PERIODIC MOTIONS OF HARMONICALLY FORCED PIECEWISE LINEAR OSCILLATORS

This paper presents an efficient numerical scheme for calculating the periodic motion of a harmonically forced piecewise linear oscillator very accurately. The scheme is based on the shooting technique with the traditional numerical Poincare mapping and its Jacobian replaced by the piecewise analytic ones. Thus, the scheme gets rid of the requirement of the current schemes for an assumed order of the oscillator trajectory passing through different linear regions. The numerical examples in the paper demonstrate that the new scheme, compared with the current schemes, enables one to cope with more complicated dynamics of harmonically forced piecewise linear oscillators.

LMI-based robust control of uncertain discrete-time piecewise affine systems

The main contribution of this paper is to present stability synthesis results for discrete-time piecewise affine （PWA） systems with polytopic time-varying uncertainties and for discrete-time PWA systems with norm-bounded uncertainties respectively.The basic idea of the proposed approaches is to construct piecewise-quadratic （PWQ） Lyapunov functions to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop systems.The partition information of the PWA systems is taken into account and each polytopic operating region is outer approximated by an ellipsoid,then sufficient conditions for the robust stabilization are derived and expressed as a set of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）.Two examples are given to illustrate the proposed theoretical results.

A comparison of piecewise cubic Hermite interpolating polynomials,cubic splines and piecewise linear functions for the approximation of projectile aerodynamics

Modelling and simulation of projectile flight is at the core of ballistic computer software and is essential to the study of performance of rifles and projectiles in various engagement conditions.An effective and representative numerical model of projectile flight requires a relatively good approximation of the aerodynamics.The aerodynamic coefficients of the projectile model should be described as a series of piecewise polynomial functions of the Mach number that ideally meet the following conditions:they are continuous,differentiable at least once,and have a relatively low degree.The paper provides the steps needed to generate such piecewise polynomial functions using readily available tools,and then compares Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial(PCHIP),cubic splines,and piecewise linear functions,and their variant,as potential curve fitting methods to approximate the aerodynamics of a generic small arms projectile.A key contribution of the paper is the application of PCHIP to the approximation of projectile aerodynamics,and its evaluation against a set of criteria.Finally,the paper provides a baseline assessment of the impact of the polynomial functions on flight trajectory predictions obtained with 6-degree-of-freedom simulations of a generic projectile.

Discontinuous bifurcation and coexistence of attractors in a piecewise linear map with a gap

Coexistence of attractors with striking characteristics is observed in this work, where a stable period-5 attractor coexists successively with chaotic band-ll, period-6, chaotic band-12 and band-6 attractors. They are induced by dif- ferent mechanisms due to the interaction between the discontinuity and the non-invertibility. A characteristic boundary collision bifurcation, is observed. The critical conditions are obtained both analytically and numerically.

Piecewise linear recursive convolution FDTD method for magnetized plasmas

The piecewise linear recursive convolution （PLRC） finite-different time-domain （FDTD） method greatly improves accuracy over the original recursive convolution （RC） FDTD approach but retains its speed and efficiency advantages. A PLRC-FDTD formulation for magnetized plasma which incorporates both anisotropy and frequency dispersion at the same time is presented, enabled the transient analysis of magnetized plasma media. The technique is illustrated by numerical simulations the reflection and transmission coefficients through a magnetized plasma layer. The results show that the PLRC-FDTD method has significantly improved the accuracy over the original RC method.

Determination of pKa values of alendronate sodium in aqueous solution by piecewise linear regression based on acid-base potentiometric titration

As a mono-sodium salt form of alendronic acid,alendronate sodium presents multi-level ionization for the dissociation of its four hydroxyl groups.The dissociation constants of alendronate sodium were determined in this work by studying the piecewise linear relationship between volume of titrant and p H value based on acidbase potentiometric titration reaction.The distribution curves of alendronate sodium were drawn according to the determined p Ka values.There were 4 dissociation constants(pKa_1=2.43,pKa_2=7.55,pKa_3=10.80,pKa_4=11.99,respectively) of alendronate sodium,and 12 existing forms,of which 4 could be ignored,existing in different p H environments.

New family of piecewise smooth support vector machine

Support vector machines （SVMs） have been extensively studied and have shown remarkable success in many applications. A new family of twice continuously differentiable piecewise smooth functions are used to smooth the objective function of uncon- strained SVMs. The three-order piecewise smooth support vector machine （TPWSSVMd） is proposed. The piecewise functions can get higher and higher approximation accuracy as required with the increase of parameter d. The global convergence proof of TPWSSVMd is given with the rough set theory. TPWSSVMd can efficiently handle large scale and high dimensional problems. Nu- merical results demonstrate TPWSSVMa has better classification performance and learning efficiency than other competitive base- lines.

Global Attraction in the Piecewise Rotation of the Sigma-Delta Modulator

This paper presents a complete proof of a conjecture given by Ashwin, Deane and Fu that the map describing the dynamical behavior of the Sigma-Delta modulator has a global attractor.
