A new model to describe the response of a class of seemingly viscoplastic materials

Sai Manikiran Garimella, Mohan Anand, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2022)

Applications of Mathematics

A new model is proposed to mimic the response of a class of seemingly viscoplastic materials. Using the proposed model, the steady, fully developed flow of the fluid is studied in a cylindrical pipe. The semi-inverse approach is applied to obtain an analytical solution for the velocity profile. The model is used to fit the shear-stress data of several supposedly viscoplastic materials reported in the literature. A numerical procedure is developed to solve the governing ODE and the procedure is validated...

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.

Conditional differential equations

Celina Rom (2016)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We introduce and study conditional differential equations, a kind of random differential equations. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution of such an equation. We apply our main result to a Malthus type model.

Mathematical analysis of the optimizing acquisition and retention over time problem

Adi Ditkowski (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

While making informed decisions regarding investments in customer retention and acquisition becomes a pressing managerial issue, formal models and analysis, which may provide insight into this topic, are still scarce. In this study we examine two dynamic models for optimal acquisition and retention models of a monopoly, the total cost and the cost per customer models. These models are analytically analyzed using classical, direct, methods and asymptotic expansions (for the total cost model). In...

Monotonicity of the principal eigenvalue related to a non-isotropic vibrating string

Behrouz Emamizadeh, Amin Farjudian (2014)

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

In this paper we consider a parametric eigenvalue problem related to a vibrating string which is constructed out of two different materials. Using elementary analysis we show that the corresponding principal eigenvalue is increasing with respect to the parameter. Using a rearrangement technique we recapture a part of our main result, in case the difference between the densities of the two materials is sufficiently small. Finally, a simple numerical algorithm will be presented which will also provide...

Rapid Emergence of Co-colonization with Community-acquired and Hospital-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains in the Hospital Setting

E. M. C. D’Agata, G. F. Webb, J. Pressley (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Background: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), a novel strain of MRSA, has recently emerged and rapidly spread in the community. Invasion into the hospital setting with replacement of the hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) has also been documented. Co-colonization with both CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA would have important clinical implications given differences in antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and the potential...

Solving second-order singularly perturbed ODE by the collocation method based on energetic Robin boundary functions

Chein-Shan Liu, Botong Li (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

For a second-order singularly perturbed ordinary differential equation (ODE) under the Robin type boundary conditions, we develop an energetic Robin boundary functions method (ERBFM) to find the solution, which automatically satisfies the Robin boundary conditions. For the non-singular ODE the Robin boundary functions consist of polynomials, while the normalized exponential trial functions are used for the singularly perturbed ODE. The ERBFM is also designed to preserve the energy, which can quickly...

Sufficient conditions for the solvability of some third order functional boundary value problems on the half-line

Hugo Carrasco, Feliz Minhós (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

This paper is concerned with the existence of bounded or unbounded solutions to third-order boundary value problem on the half-line with functional boundary conditions. The arguments are based on the Green functions, a Nagumo condition, Schauder fixed point theorem and lower and upper solutions method. An application to a Falkner-Skan equation with functional boundary conditions is given to illustrate our results.
