Caputo-Type Modification of the Erdélyi-Kober Fractional Derivative

Luchko, Yury, Trujillo, Juan (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

2000 Math. Subject Classification: 26A33; 33E12, 33E30, 44A15, 45J05The Caputo fractional derivative is one of the most used definitions of a fractional derivative along with the Riemann-Liouville and the Grünwald- Letnikov ones. Whereas the Riemann-Liouville definition of a fractional derivative is usually employed in mathematical texts and not so frequently in applications, and the Grünwald-Letnikov definition – for numerical approximation of both Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives,...

Different models of chemotherapy taking into account drug resistance stemming from gene amplification

Jarosław Śmieja, Andrzej Świerniak (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper presents an analysis of some class of bilinear systems that can be applied to biomedical modelling. It combines models that have been studied separately so far, taking into account both the phenomenon of gene amplification and multidrug chemotherapy in their different aspects. The mathematical description is given by an infinite dimensional state equation with a system matrix whose form allows decomposing the model into two interacting subsystems. While the first one, of a finite dimension,...

Evolution in a changing environment: existence of solutions

P. Rybka, Q. Tang, D. Waxman (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We establish the existence of solutions of an intrinsically nonlinear differential-integral equation that arises from the mathematical modelling of the evolution of an asexual population in a changing environment. The main objective is to pave the way for a rigorous analysis of the linear stability of travelling wave solutions of the corresponding problem.

Existence and Stability of Periodic Solutions for Nonlinear Neutral Differential Equations with Variable Delay Using Fixed Point Technique

Mouataz Billah MESMOULI, Abdelouaheb Ardjouni, Ahcene Djoudi (2015)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Our paper deals with the following nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delay d d t D u t ( t ) = p ( t ) - a ( t ) u ( t ) - a ( t ) g ( u ( t - τ ( t ) ) ) - h ( u ( t ) , u ( t - τ ( t ) ) ) . By using Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem we obtain the existence of periodic solution and by contraction mapping principle we obtain the uniqueness. A sufficient condition is established for the positivity of the above equation. Stability results of this equation are analyzed. Our results extend and complement some results obtained in the work [Yuan, Y., Guo, Z.: On the existence and stability of...
