A simple mathematical model of the human liver

Lenka Čelechovská (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

The parameter estimation problem for a continuous dynamical system is a difficult one. In this paper we study a simple mathematical model of the liver. For the parameter identification we use the observed clinical data obtained by the BSP test. Bellman’s quasilinearization method and its modifications are applied.

A simple method for constructing non-liouvillian first integrals of autonomous planar systems

Axel Schulze-Halberg (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show that a transformation method relating planar first-order differential systems to second order equations is an effective tool for finding non-liouvillian first integrals. We obtain explicit first integrals for a subclass of Kukles systems, including fourth and fifth order systems, and for generalized Liénard-type systems.

A simple model of thermoelectric oscillations

Giovanni Cimatti, Eduard Feireisl (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

A system of ordinary differential equations modelling an electric circuit with a thermistor is considered. Qualitative properties of solution are studied, in particular, the existence and nonexistence of time-periodic solutions (the Hopf bifurcation).

A simple proof of the non-integrability of the first and the second Painlevé equations

Henryk Żołądek (2011)

Banach Center Publications

The first and the second Painlevé equations are explicitly Hamiltonian with time dependent Hamilton function. By a natural extension of the phase space one gets corresponding autonomous Hamiltonian systems in ℂ⁴. We prove that the latter systems do not have any additional algebraic first integral. In the proof equations in variations with respect to a parameter are used.

A singular initial value problem for the equation u ( n ) ( x ) = g ( u ( x ) )

Wojciech Mydlarczyk (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider the problem of the existence of positive solutions u to the problem u ( n ) ( x ) = g ( u ( x ) ) , u ( 0 ) = u ' ( 0 ) = . . . = u ( n - 1 ) ( 0 ) = 0 (g ≥ 0,x > 0, n ≥ 2). It is known that if g is nondecreasing then the Osgood condition δ 1 / s [ s / g ( s ) ] 1 / n d s < is necessary and sufficient for the existence of nontrivial solutions to the above problem. We give a similar condition for other classes of functions g.

A singular perturbation method for saddle connections and subharmonics of certain nonlinear differential equations with fixed saddle points.

Peter Smith (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Saddle connections and subharmonics are investigated for a class of forced second order differential equations which have a fixed saddle point. In these equations, which have linear damping and a nonlinear restoring term, the amplitude of the forcing term depends on displacement in the system. Saddle connections are significant in nonlinear systems since their appearance signals a homoclinic bifurcation. The approach uses a singular perturbation method which has a fairly broad application to saddle...
