Dynamics of systems with Preisach memory near equilibria

Stephen McCarthy, Dmitrii Rachinskii (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider autonomous systems where two scalar differential equations are coupled with the input-output relationship of the Preisach hysteresis operator, which has an infinite-dimensional memory. A prototype system of this type is an LCR electric circuit where the inductive element has a ferromagnetic core with a hysteretic relationship between the magnetic field and the magnetization. Further examples of such systems include lumped hydrological models with two soil layers; they can also appear...

Dynamics of Tuberculosis: The effect of Direct Observation Therapy Strategy (DOTS) in Nigeria

D. Okuonghae, A. Korobeinikov (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

This paper presents mathematical models for tuberculosis and its dynamics under the implementation of the direct observation therapy strategy (DOTS) in Nigeria. The models establish conditions for the eradication of tuberculosis in Nigeria based on the fraction of detected infectious individuals placed under DOTS for treatment. Both numerical and qualitative analysis of the models were carried out and the effect of the fraction of detected cases of active TB on the various epidemiological classes...

Eighty fifth anniversary of birthday and scientific legacy of Professor Miloš Ráb

Ondřej Došlý, Eva Jansová, Josef Kalas (2014)

Archivum Mathematicum

The paper is concentrated on Professor Miloš Ráb and his contribution to the theory of oscillatory properties of solutions of second and third order linear differential equations, the theory of differential equations with complex coefficients and dynamical systems, and the theory of nonlinear second order differential equations. At the beginning, we take a brief look at the most important moments in his life. Afterwards, we describe his scientific activities on mentioned theories.

Entrée-sortie dans un tourbillon

Annales de l'institut Fourier

On étudie un champ de vecteurs lent-rapide de R 3 nommé tourbillon pour lequel on démontre l’existence d’une fonction entrée-sortie.

Epidemiological Models and Lyapunov Functions

A. Fall, A. Iggidr, G. Sallet, J. J. Tewa (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We give a survey of results on global stability for deterministic compartmental epidemiological models. Using Lyapunov techniques we revisit a classical result, and give a simple proof. By the same methods we also give a new result on differential susceptibility and infectivity models with mass action and an arbitrary number of compartments. These models encompass the so-called differential infectivity and staged progression models. In the two cases we prove that if the basic reproduction ratio...
