Epidemiology of Dengue Fever: A Model with Temporary Cross-Immunity and Possible Secondary Infection Shows Bifurcations and Chaotic Behaviour in Wide Parameter Regions

Maíra Aguiar, Bob Kooi, Nico Stollenwerk (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Basic models suitable to explain the epidemiology of dengue fever have previously shown the possibility of deterministically chaotic attractors, which might explain the observed fluctuations found in empiric outbreak data. However, the region of bifurcations and chaos require strong enhanced infectivity on secondary infection, motivated by experimental findings of antibody-dependent-enhancement. Including temporary cross-immunity in such models, which is common knowledge among field researchers...

Ergodic theory approach to chaos: Remarks and computational aspects

Paweł J. Mitkowski, Wojciech Mitkowski (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We discuss basic notions of the ergodic theory approach to chaos. Based on simple examples we show some characteristic features of ergodic and mixing behaviour. Then we investigate an infinite dimensional model (delay differential equation) of erythropoiesis (red blood cell production process) formulated by Lasota. We show its computational analysis on the previously presented theory and examples. Our calculations suggest that the infinite dimensional model considered possesses an attractor of a...

Examples of minimal diffeomorphisms on 𝕋² semiconjugate to an ergodic translation

Alejandro Passeggi, Martín Sambarino (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that for every ϵ > 0 there exists a minimal diffeomorphism f: ² → ² of class C 3 - ϵ and semiconjugate to an ergodic translation with the following properties: zero entropy, sensitivity to initial conditions, and Li-Yorke chaos. These examples are obtained through the holonomy of the unstable foliation of Mañé’s example of a derived-from-Anosov diffeomorphism on ³.

Global synchronization of chaotic Lur’e systems via replacing variables control

Xiaofeng Wu, Yi Zhao, Muhong Wang (2008)

Kybernetika

Finding sufficient criteria for synchronization of master-slave chaotic systems by replacing variables control has been an open problem in the field of chaos control. This paper presents some recent works on the subject, with emphasis on chaos synchronization of both identical and parametrically mismatched Lur’e systems by replacing variables control. The synchronization schemes are formally constructed and two classes of sufficient criteria for global synchronization, linear matrix inequality criterion...

Hopf bifurcation analysis of some hyperchaotic systems with time-delay controllers

Lan Zhang, Cheng Jian Zhang (2008)

Kybernetika

A four-dimensional hyperchaotic Lü system with multiple time-delay controllers is considered in this paper. Based on the theory of Hopf bifurcation in delay system, we obtain a simple relationship between the parameters when the system has a periodic solution. Numerical simulations show that the assumption is a rational condition, choosing parameter in the determined region can control hyperchaotic Lü system well, the chaotic state is transformed to the periodic orbit. Finally, we consider the differences...
