Uniform deterministic equivalent of additive functionals and non-parametric drift estimation for one-dimensional recurrent diffusions

D. Loukianova, O. Loukianov (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Usually the problem of drift estimation for a diffusion process is considered under the hypothesis of ergodicity. It is less often considered under the hypothesis of null-recurrence, simply because there are fewer limit theorems and existing ones do not apply to the whole null-recurrent class. The aim of this paper is to provide some limit theorems for additive functionals and martingales of a general (ergodic or null) recurrent diffusion which would allow us to have a somewhat unified approach...

Uniqueness and local existence of solutions to an approximate system of a 1D simplified tumor invasion model

Maciej Cytowski, Akio Ito, Marek Niezgódka (2009)

Banach Center Publications

In the present paper, we consider an approximate system of one-dimensional simplified tumor invasion model, which was originally proposed by Chaplain and Anderson in [chaplain-anderson-03]. The simplified tumor invasion model is composed of PDE and ODE. Actually, the PDE is the balance equation of the density of tumor cells and the ODE describes the dynamics of concentration of extracellular matrix. In this model, we take into account that the random motility of the density of tumor cells is given...

Uniqueness and stability properties of monostable pulsating fronts

François Hamel, Lionel Roques (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove the uniqueness, up to shifts, of pulsating traveling fronts for reaction-diffusion equations in periodic media with Kolmogorov–Petrovskiĭ–Piskunov type nonlinearities. These results provide in particular a complete classification of all KPP pulsating fronts. Furthermore, in the more general case of monostable nonlinearities, we also derive several global stability properties and convergence to pulsating fronts for solutions of the Cauchy problem with front-like initial data. In particular,...

Uniqueness of limit cycles bounded by two invariant parabolas

Eduardo Sáez, Iván Szántó (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we consider a class of cubic polynomial systems with two invariant parabolas and prove in the parameter space the existence of neighborhoods such that in one the system has a unique limit cycle and in the other the system has at most three limit cycles, bounded by the invariant parabolas.

Uniqueness of Monotone Mono-stable Waves for Reaction-Diffusion Equations with Time Delay

W. Huang, M. Han, M. Puckett (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Many models in biology and ecology can be described by reaction-diffusion equations wit time delay. One of important solutions for these type of equations is the traveling wave solution that shows the phenomenon of wave propagation. The existence of traveling wave fronts has been proved for large class of equations, in particular, the monotone systems, such as the cooperative systems and some competition systems. However, the problem on the uniqueness of traveling wave (for a fixed wave speed)...

Unraveling the Tangled Complexity of DNA: Combining Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Biology to Understand Replication, Recombination and Repair

S. Robic, J. R. Jungck (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

How does DNA, the molecule containing genetic information, change its three-dimensional shape during the complex cellular processes of replication, recombination and repair? This is one of the core questions in molecular biology which cannot be answered without help from mathematical modeling. Basic concepts of topology and geometry can be introduced in undergraduate teaching to help students understand counterintuitive complex structural transformations...

Use of fuzzy techniques for detection of multiple sclerosis small lesions.

F. Xavier Aymerich, Pilar Sobrevilla, Jaume Gili, Eduard Montseny (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

This work shows an application of algorithms in which fuzzy techniques are used. It is focused on the automation of image analysis for use with a non-invasive technique, as magnetic resonance, in multiple sclerosis patients, and specifically in detection of the smallest lesions. The typical uncertainty in the definition of these lesions lead us to consider that a fuzzy approach is a good solution to the problem.The design of the algorithm is based on the definition of a rule set, which enable feature...

Usefulness of Biocontrol of Pests in Tea: A Mathematical Model

A. Maiti, A. K. Pal, G. P. Samanta (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Nowadays there has been a growing consciousness among the tea industry to reduce the use of the chemical pesticides for pest control. Predators are beneficial insects that feed on harmful insects and mites, which incur considerable loss of production of tea. In this paper we have considered a tritrophic model consisting of tea plant, pest and predator to analyze different field observations. The effect of discrete time-delay on the tritrophic model is studied critically. The dynamical behaviours...

Using DNA Self-assembly Design Strategies to Motivate Graph Theory Concepts

J. Ellis-Monaghan, G. Pangborn (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A number of exciting new laboratory techniques have been developed using the Watson-Crick complementarity properties of DNA strands to achieve the self-assembly of graphical complexes. For all of these methods, an essential step in building the self-assembling nanostructure is designing the component molecular building blocks. These design strategy problems fall naturally into the realm of graph theory. We describe graph theoretical formalism for various construction methods, and then suggest several...
