On the Role of Variable Latent Periods in Mathematical Models for Tuberculosis

The qualitative behaviors of a system of ordinary differential equations and a system of differential-integral equations, which model the dynamics of disease transmission for tuberculosis (TB), have been studied. It has been shown that the dynamics of both models are governed by a reproductive number. All solutions converge to the origin (the disease-free equilibrium) when this reproductive number is less than or equal to the critical value one. The disease-free equilibrium is unstable and there exists a unique positive (endemic) equilibrium if the reproductive number exceeds one. Moreover, the positive equilibrium is stable. Our results show that the qualitative behaviors predicted by the model with arbitrarily distributed latent stage are similar to those given by the TB model with an exponentially distributed period of latency.

Global analysis of some epidemic models with general contact rate and constant immigration

An epidemic models of SIR type and SIRS type with general contact rate and constant immigration of each class were discussed by means of theory of limit system and suitable Liapunov functions. In the absence of input of infectious individuals, the threshold of existence of endemic equilibrium is found. For the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium of corresponding SIR model, the sufficient and necessary conditions of global asymptotical stabilities are all obtained. For corresponding SIRS model, the sufficient conditions of global asymptotical stabilities of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are obtained. In the existence of input of infectious individuals, the models have no disease-free equilibrium. For corresponding SIR model, the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ; for corresponding SIRS model, the sufficient conditions of global asymptotical stability of the endemic equilibrium are obtained.

Global exponential stability of switched systems

This paper proposes a method for the stability analysis of deterministic switched systems. Two motivational examples are introduced (nonholonomic system and constrained pendulum). The finite collection of models consists of nonlinear models, and a switching sequence is arbitrary. It is supposed that there is no jump in the state at switching instants, and there is no Zeno behavior, i.e., there is a finite number of switches on every bounded interval. For the analysis of deterministic switched systems, the multiple Lyapunov functions are used, and the global exponential stability is proved. The exponentially stable equilibrium of systems is relevant for practice because such systems are robust to perturbations.     

Global stability analysis of a ratio-dependent predator-prey system

A ratio dependent predator-prey system with Holling type Ⅲ functional response is considered. A sufficient condition of the global asymptotic stability for the positive equilibrium and existence of the limit cycle are given by studying locally asymp- totic stability of the positive equilibrium. The condition under which positive equilibrium is not a hyperbolic equilibrium is investigated using Hopf bifurcation.

肿瘤血管生成的二维数值模拟

血管生成（angiogenesis）,指从已存在的血管网络中成长出新的血管网络。肿瘤毛细血管生成在肿瘤的生长、转移等阶段发挥着重要的作用。在此过程中内皮细胞积极参与其中的各个阶段：首先是各种各样的肿瘤促血管生成因子的释放（tumor angiogenesis factors,TAF）,激活内皮细胞;新生的内皮细胞在一系列的内部和外部因素的调节下向着肿瘤迁移,最终新生成的毛细血管到达肿瘤并穿越它。目前对肿瘤内及其周围的毛细血管网络了解很少,这给临床上对肿瘤的研究和治疗带来一定困难。本文考虑内皮细胞与胞外间质的相互作用、对TAF的响应,根据肿瘤内外的生理和病理条件描述肿瘤促血管生成的特点,并根据肿瘤内的复杂特性建立二维离散数学模型,研究肿瘤内部的毛细血管网络的生成。数值模拟的结果显示该模型在一定程度上可以产生符合真实的肿瘤内外的毛细血管分层特点的网络,同时也给后续的研究提供了一定的依据。     

Global analysis of Ivlev's type predator-prey dynamic systems

Consider a class of Ivlev's type predator-prey dynamic systems with prey and predator both having linear density restricts. By using the qualitative methods of ODE, the global stability of positive equilibrium and existence and uniqueness of non-small amplitude stable limit cycle are obtained. Especially under certain conditions, it shows that existence and uniqueness of non-small amplitude stable limit cycle is equivalent to the local un-stability of positive equilibrium and the local stability of positive equilibrium implies its global stability. That is to say, the global dynamic of the system is entirely determined by the local stability of the positive equilibrium.     

Global structure stability of impact-induced tensile waves in phase-transforming materials

The global structure stability of the impact-induced tensile waves mentioned by Huang （Huang, S. J. Impact-induced tensile waves in a kind of phase-transforming materials. IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 76, 847-858 （2011）） is considered. By introducing Riemann invariants, the governing equations of motion are reduced into a 2 ~ 2 diagonally strictly hyperbolic system. Then, with the aid of the theory on the typical free boundary problem and maximally dissipative kinetics, the global structure stability of the impact-induced tensile waves propagating in a phase-transforming material is proved.     

A New Methodology for the Analysis of Periodic Systems

A new numerical-analytical method for the combined global-localanalysis of nonlinear periodic systems referred to as an ExpandedPoint Mapping (EPM) is presented. This methodology combines thecell to cell mapping and point mapping methods toinvestigate the basins of attraction and stability characteristics ofequilibrium points and periodic solutions of nonlinear periodicsystems. The proposed method is applicable to multi-degrees-of-freedomsystems, multi-parameter systems, and allows analytical studies oflocal stability characteristics of steady state solutions. Inaddition, the EPM approach allows the study of stabilitycharacteristics as function of system parameters to obtain analyticalconditions for bifurcation. In the paper, the theoretical basis forthe EPM method is formulated and a procedure for the analysis ofnonlinear dynamical systems is presented. Analysis of a pendulum witha periodically excited support in the plane is used to illustrate themethod. The results demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of theproposed approach in analyzing nonlinear periodic systems.     

Global existence and exponential stability of solutions to thermoelastic equations of hyperbolic type

In this paper we prove the global existence and exponential stability of solutions to thermoelastic equations of hyperbolic type provided that the initial data are close to the equilibrium and the relaxation kernel is strongly positive definite and decays exponentially. Moreover, the global solution, together with its the third-order full energy, is exponentially stable for any t > 0.

Global Stability Analysis of Cylindrical and Dual Offset Rotor Bearing Systems

Extensive numerical simulation studies with a short bearing film model show that a balanced dual offset rotor bearing subjected to a fixed external load can improve bearing performance for load and speed conditions known to produce undesirable half-speed whirl in conventional zero-offset cylindrical systems. For specific values of dimensionless load, offset ratio, and load orientation, parametric changes in speed show that the dual offset bearing can undergo a variety of bifurcations which produce coexisting period 1–4 subharmonic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic attractors, all of which may be driven by lower-order dynamic processes. For a specific set of initial conditions, the transition to chaos via period doubling in the dual offset bearing actually produces lubricant films which are significantly thicker than those found in the corresponding cylindrical system.
