Minimality of the system of root functions of Sturm-Liouville problems with decreasing affine boundary conditions

Y. N. Aliyev (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider Sturm-Liouville problems with a boundary condition linearly dependent on the eigenparameter. We study the case of decreasing dependence where non-real and multiple eigenvalues are possible. By determining the explicit form of a biorthogonal system, we prove that the system of root (i.e. eigen and associated) functions, with an arbitrary element removed, is a minimal system in L₂(0,1), except for some cases where this system is neither complete nor minimal.

Minimax control of nonlinear evolution equations

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we study the minimax control of systems governed by a nonlinear evolution inclusion of the subdifferential type. Using some continuity and lower semicontinuity results for the solution map and the cost functional respectively, we are able to establish the existence of an optimal control. The abstract results are then applied to obstacle problems, semilinear systems with weakly varying coefficients (e.gȯscillating coefficients) and differential variational inequalities.

Minimum energy control of fractional positive continuous-time linear systems with bounded inputs

Tadeusz Kaczorek (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A minimum energy control problem for fractional positive continuous-time linear systems with bounded inputs is formulated and solved. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the problem are established. A procedure for solving the problem is proposed and illustrated with a numerical example.

Mixed type semicontinuous differential inclusions in Banach spaces

Tzanko Donchev (2001)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider a class of differential inclusions in (nonseparable) Banach spaces satisfying mixed type semicontinuity hypotheses and prove the existence of solutions for a problem with state constraints. The cases of dissipative type conditions and with time lag are also studied. These results are then applied to control systems.

Model of AIDS-related tumour with time delay

Marek Bodnar, Urszula Foryś, Zuzanna Szymańska (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We present and compare two simple models of immune system and cancer cell interactions. The first model reflects simple cancer disease progression and serves as our "control" case. The second describes the progression of a cancer disease in the case of a patient infected with the HIV-1 virus.

Modeling Adaptive Behavior in Influenza Transmission

W. Wang (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Contact behavior plays an important role in influenza transmission. In the progression of influenza spread, human population reduces mobility to decrease infection risks. In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to include adaptive mobility. It is shown that the mobility response does not affect the basic reproduction number that characterizes the invasion threshold, but reduces dramatically infection peaks, or removes the peaks. Numerical...
