An extension of the Khinchin-Groshev theorem

Anish Ghosh, Robert Royals (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove a version of the Khinchin-Groshev theorem in Diophantine approximation for quadratic extensions of function fields in positive characteristic.

An Intracellular Delay-Differential Equation Model of the HIV Infection and Immune Control

T. Dumrongpokaphan, Y. Lenbury, R. Ouncharoen, Y. Xu (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Previous work has shown that intracellular delay needs to be taken into account to accurately determine the half-life of free virus from drug perturbation experiments [1]. The delay also effects the estimated value for the infected T-cell loss rate when we assume that the drug is not completely effective [19]. Models of virus infection that include intracellular delay are more accurate representations of the biological data.

An introduction to probabilistic methods with applications

Pierre Del Moral, Nicolas G. Hadjiconstantinou (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This special volume of the ESAIM Journal, Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, contains a collection of articles on probabilistic interpretations of some classes of nonlinear integro-differential equations. The selected contributions deal with a wide range of topics in applied probability theory and stochastic analysis, with applications in a variety of scientific disciplines, including physics, biology, fluid mechanics, molecular chemistry, financial mathematics and bayesian statistics....

An L q ( L ² ) -theory of the generalized Stokes resolvent system in infinite cylinders

Reinhard Farwig, Myong-Hwan Ri (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Estimates of the generalized Stokes resolvent system, i.e. with prescribed divergence, in an infinite cylinder Ω = Σ × ℝ with Σ n - 1 , a bounded domain of class C 1 , 1 , are obtained in the space L q ( ; L ² ( Σ ) ) , q ∈ (1,∞). As a preparation, spectral decompositions of vector-valued homogeneous Sobolev spaces are studied. The main theorem is proved using the techniques of Schauder decompositions, operator-valued multiplier functions and R-boundedness of operator families.

An ordered structure of rank two related to Dulac's Problem

A. Dolich, P. Speissegger (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For a vector field ξ on ℝ² we construct, under certain assumptions on ξ, an ordered model-theoretic structure associated to the flow of ξ. We do this in such a way that the set of all limit cycles of ξ is represented by a definable set. This allows us to give two restatements of Dulac’s Problem for ξ - that is, the question whether ξ has finitely many limit cycles-in model-theoretic terms, one involving the recently developed notion of U þ -rank and the other involving the notion of o-minimality.

An upper bound on the attractor dimension of a 2D turbulent shear flow with a free boundary condition

Mahdi Boukrouche, Grzegorz Łukaszewicz (2005)

Banach Center Publications

We consider a free boundary problem of a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes shear flow. There exist a unique global in time solution of the considered problem as well as the global attractor for the associated semigroup. As in [1] and [2], we estimate from above the dimension of the attractor in terms of given data and the geometry of the domain of the flow. This research is motivated by a free boundary problem from lubrication theory where the domain of the flow is usually very thin and the roughness...

Analysis of a Mathematical Model for the Molecular Mechanism of Fate Decision in Mammary Stem Cells

O. U. Kirnasovsky, Y. Kogan, Z. Agur (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Recently, adult stem cells have become a focus of intensive biomedical research, but the complex regulation that allows a small population of stem cells to replenish depleted tissues is still unknown. It has been suggested that specific tissue structures delimit the spaces where stem cells undergo unlimited proliferation (stem cell niche). In contrast, mathematical analysis suggests that a feedback control of stem cells on their own proliferation and differentiation (denoted Quorum Sensing) suffices...

Analysis of a Model with Multiple Infectious Stages and Arbitrarily Distributed Stage Durations

Y. Yang, D. Xu, Z. Feng (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Infectious diseases may have multiple infectious stages with very different epidemiological attributes, including infectivity and disease progression. These stages are often assumed to have exponentially distributed durations in epidemiological models. However, models that use the exponential distribution assumption (EDA) may generate biased and even misleading results in some cases. This discrepancy is particularly damaging if the models are employed to assist policy-makers in disease control...
