Periodic Solutions in a Mathematical Model for the Treatment of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

A. Halanay (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Existence and stability of periodic solutions are studied for a system of delay differential equations with two delays, with periodic coefficients. It models the evolution of hematopoietic stem cells and mature neutrophil cells in chronic myelogenous leukemia under a periodic treatment that acts only on mature cells. Existence of a guiding function leads to the proof of the existence of a strictly positive periodic solution by a theorem of Krasnoselskii....

Peristaltic Pumping of Solid Particles Immersed in a Viscoelastic Fluid

J. Chrispell, L. Fauci (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Peristaltic pumping of fluid is a fundamental method of transport in many biological processes. In some instances, particles of appreciable size are transported along with the fluid, such as ovum transport in the oviduct or kidney stones in the ureter. In some of these biological settings, the fluid may be viscoelastic. In such a case, a nonlinear constitutive equation to describe the evolution of the viscoelastic contribution to the stress tensor...
