On the Dynamics of a Two-Strain Influenza Model with Isolation

F. Chamchod, N.F. Britton (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Influenza has been responsible for human suffering and economic burden worldwide. Isolation is one of the most effective means to control the disease spread. In this work, we incorporate isolation into a two-strain model of influenza. We find that whether strains of influenza die out or coexist, or only one of them persists, it depends on the basic reproductive number of each influenza strain, cross-immunity between strains, and isolation rate. We propose criteria that may be useful for controlling...

On the Dynamics of an Impulsive Model of Hematopoiesis

C. Kou, M. Adimy, A. Ducrot (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We propose and analyze a nonlinear mathematical model of hematopoiesis, describing the dynamics of stem cell population subject to impulsive perturbations. This is a system of two age-structured partial differential equations with impulses. By integrating these equations over the age, we obtain a system of two nonlinear impulsive differential equations with several discrete delays. This system describes the evolution of the total hematopoietic stem cell populations with impulses. We first examine...

On the existence of oscillatory solutions in the Weisbuch-Salomon-Atlan model for the Belousov-Zhabotinskij reaction

Valter Šeda (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

The stability properties of solutions of the differential system which represents the considered model for the Belousov - Zhabotinskij reaction are studied in this paper. The existence of oscillatory solutions of this system is proved and a theorem on separation of zero-points of the components of such solutions is established. It is also shown that there exists a periodic solution.

On the instability of linear nonautonomous delay systems

Raúl Naulin (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The unstable properties of the linear nonautonomous delay system x ' ( t ) = A ( t ) x ( t ) + B ( t ) x ( t - r ( t ) ) , with nonconstant delay r ( t ) , are studied. It is assumed that the linear system y ' ( t ) = ( A ( t ) + B ( t ) ) y ( t ) is unstable, the instability being characterized by a nonstable manifold defined from a dichotomy to this linear system. The delay r ( t ) is assumed to be continuous and bounded. Two kinds of results are given, those concerning conditions that do not include the properties of the delay function r ( t ) and the results depending on the asymptotic properties of the...
