Ergodic stationary distribution and practical application of a hybrid stochastic cholera transmission model with waning vaccine-induced immunity under nonlinear regime switching

Considering the effect of stochasticity including white noise and colored noise, this paper aims to study a hybrid stochastic cholera epidemic model with waning vaccine-induced immunity and nonlinear telegraph perturbations. First, we derive a critical value ${?}_0^C$ related to the basic reproduction number ${?}_0$ of the deterministic model. The key aim of this paper is to generalize the θ-stochastic criterion method proposed by the recent work (Han et al. in Chaos Solit Fract 140:110238, 2020) to eliminate nonlinear telegraph perturbations. Next, via constructing several θ-stochastic Lyapunov functions and using the generalized method, we further prove that the stochastic model have a unique ergodic stationary distribution under ${?}_0^C>1$. Results show that the prevention and control of cholera epidemic depend on low transmission rate and small telegraph perturbations. Finally, the corresponding numerical simulations are performed to illustrate our analytical results and a practical application on the Somalia cholera outbreak is shown at the end of this paper.     

Analysis of a new multispecies tumor growth model coupling 3D phase-fields with a 1D vascular network

In this work, we present and analyze a mathematical model for tumor growth incorporating ECM erosion, interstitial flow, and the effect of vascular flow and nutrient transport. The model is of phase-field or diffused-interface type in which multiple phases of cell species and other constituents are separated by smooth evolving interfaces. The model involves a mesoscale version of Darcy’s law to capture the flow mechanism in the tissue matrix. Modeling flow and transport processes in the vasculature supplying the healthy and cancerous tissue, one-dimensional (1D) equations are considered. Since the models governing the transport and flow processes are defined together with cell species models on a three-dimensional (3D) domain, we obtain a 3D–1D coupled model.     

von Neumann’s trace inequality for Hilbert–Schmidt operators

von Neumann’s inequality in matrix theory refers to the fact that the Frobenius scalar product of two matrices is less than or equal to the scalar product of the respective singular values. Moreover, equality can only happen if the two matrices share a joint set of singular vectors, and this latter part is hard to find in the literature. We extend these facts to the separable Hilbert space setting, and provide a self-contained proof of the “latter part”.

Extremal functions for singular Trudinger–Moser inequalities in the entire Euclidean space

In a previous work (Adimurthi and Yang, 2010 [2]), Adimurthi–Yang proved a singular Trudinger–Moser inequality in the entire Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^N$$(N\ge 2)$. Precisely, if $0\le \beta <1$ and $0<\gamma \le 1?\beta$, then there holds for any $\tau >0$,

$\underset{u\in W^{1,N}({\mathbb{R}}^N),{\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^N}(|\mathrm{?}u{|}^N+\tau |u{|}^N)dx\le 1}{\sup }?\underset{{\mathbb{R}}^N}{\int }\frac{1}{|x{|}^{N\beta }}(e^{{\alpha }_N\gamma |u{|}^{\frac{N}{N?1}}}?\sum _{k=0}^{N?2}\frac{{{\alpha }_N}^k{\gamma }^k|u{|}^{\frac{kN}{N?1}}}{k!})dx<\infty ,$

where ${\alpha }_N=N{\omega }_{N?1}^{1/(N?1)}$ and ${\omega }_{N?1}$ is the area of the unit sphere in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. The above inequality is sharp in the sense that if $\gamma >1?\beta$, all integrals are still finite but the supremum is infinity. In this paper, we concern extremal functions for these singular inequalities. The regular case $\beta =0$ has been considered by Li and Ruf (2008) [12] and Ishiwata (2011) [11]. We shall investigate the singular case $0<\beta <1$ and prove that for all $\tau >0$, $0<\beta <1$ and $0<\gamma \le 1?\beta$, extremal functions for the above inequalities exist. The proof is based on blow-up analysis.     

Handling contacts in an Eulerian frame: a finite element approach for fluid structures with contacts

ABSTRACT

Eulerian variational formulations for deformable solids, with or without fluids around them, end up, after implicit time discretisation, as large non-linear systems for the velocities in the moving domains. Handling moving domains and moving boundaries requires careful meshing procedures; on the other hand, the detection of contact is particularly simple with a distance function. Then at every time step, a variational inequality can be used to update the velocities. This article gives new implementation details and two new complex simulations: a very soft bouncing ball in an axisymmetric flow and a disk hit by a club.     

Fixed Points,Continuous Selections,and Existence of Solution of Optimization-Related Problems

We propose a definition of a generalized type of Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz (KKM) mappings, called a weak T-KKM mapping, and a corresponding weak KKM property. A new extension of the Fan–Glicksberg fixed-point theorem is established. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a continuous selection, a fixed point of a composition, and a coincidence point are also provided. Then, we use the obtained results to study the existence of solutions to various optimization-related problems. Discussions and detailed examples are included as well to compare our results with existing ones and to explain their advantages in many situations.
