From an iteration formula to Poincaré's Isochronous Center Theorem for holomorphic vector fields

We first generalize a classical iteration formula for one variable holomorphic mappings to a formula for higher dimensional holomorphic mappings. Then, as an application, we give a short and intuitive proof of a classical theorem, due to H. Poincaré, for the condition under which a singularity of a holomorphic vector field is an isochronous center.

     

Alternate solution to generalized Bernoulli equations via an integrating factor: an exact differential equation approach

Solution methods to exact differential equations via integrating factors have a rich history dating back to Euler (1740) and the ideas enjoy applications to thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Recently, Azevedo and Valentino presented an analysis of the generalized Bernoulli equation, constructing a general solution by linearizing the problem through a substitution. The purpose of this note is to present an alternative approach using ‘exact methods’, illustrating that a substitution and linearization of the problem is unnecessary. The ideas may be seen as forming a complimentary and arguably simpler approach to Azevedo and Valentino that have the potential to be assimilated and adapted to pedagogical needs of those learning and teaching exact differential equations in schools, colleges, universities and polytechnics. We illustrate how to apply the ideas through an analysis of the Gompertz equation, which is of interest in biomathematical models of tumour growth.     

Dynamics of coral reef models in the presence of parrotfish

The decline of coral reefs characterized by macroalgae increase has been a global threat. We consider a slightly modified version of an ordinary differential equation (ODE) model proposed in Blackwood, Hastings, and Mumby [Theor. Ecol. 5 (2012), pp. 105–114] that explicitly considers the role of parrotfish grazing on coral reef dynamics. We perform complete stability, bifurcation, and persistence analysis for this model. If the fishing effort (f) is in between two critical values and , then the system has a unique interior equilibrium, which is stable if and unstable if . If is less (more) than these critical values, then the system has up to two (zero) interior equilibria. Also, we develop a more realistic delay differential equation (DDE) model to incorporate the time delay and treating it as the bifurcation parameter, and we prove that Hopf bifurcation about the interior equilibria could occur at critical time delays, which illustrate the potential importance of the inherent time delay in a coral reef ecosystem. Recommendations for Resource Managers

• One serious threat to coral reefs is overfishing of grazing species, including high level of algal abundance. Fishing alters the entire dynamics of a reef (Hughes, Baird, & Bellwood, 2003), for which the coral cover was predicted to decline rapidly (Mumby, 2006). One major issue is to reverse and develop appropriate management to increase or maintain coral resilience.
• We have provided a detailed local and global analysis of model (Blackwood, Hastings, & Mumby, 2012) and obtained an ecologically meaningful attracting region, for which there is a chance of stable coexistence of coral–algal–fish state.
• The healthy reefs switch to unhealthy state, and the macroalgae–parrotfish state becomes stable as the fishing effort increases through some critical values. Also, for some critical time delays, a switch between healthy and unhealthy reef states occurs through a Hopf bifurcation, which can only appear in the delay differential equation (DDE) model. Eventually, for large enough time delay, oscillations appear and an unhealthy state occurs.

     

SEMI-LINEAR SYSTEMS OF BACKWARD STOCHASTIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN R~n

This paper explores the diffeomorphism of a backward stochastic ordinary differential equation (BSDE) to a system of semi-linear backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs), under the inverse of a stochastic flow generated by an ordinary stochastic differential equation (SDE). The author develops a new approach to BSPDEs and also provides some new results. The adapted solution of BSPDEs in terms of those of SDEs and BSDEs is constructed. This brings a new insight on BSPDEs, and leads to a probabilistic approach. As a consequence, the existence, uniqueness, and regularity results are obtained for the (classical, Sobolev, and distributional) solution of BSPDEs. The dimension of the space variable x is allowed to be arbitrary n, and BSPDEs are allowed to be nonlinear in both unknown variables, which implies that the BSPDEs may be nonlinear in the gradient. Due to the limitation of space, however, this paper concerns only classical solution of BSPDEs under some more restricted assumptions.     

Fixed point indices and invariant periodic sets of holomorphic systems

This note presents an intuitive method to study center families of periodic orbits of complex holomorphic differential equations near singularities, based on some iteration properties of fixed point indices. As an application of this method, we will prove Needham's theorem in a more general version.

     

Stochastic viscosity solutions for SPDEs with continuous coefficients

In this note, nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with continuous coefficients are studied. Via the solutions of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs) with continuous coefficients, we provide an existence result of stochastic viscosity sub- and super-solutions to this class of SPDEs. Under some stronger conditions, we prove the existence of stochastic viscosity solutions.

Analysis of a Kind of Stochastic Dynamics Model with Nonlinear Function

In this paper, we establish stochastic differential equations on the basis of a nonlinear deterministic model and study the global dynamics. For the deterministic model, we show that the basic reproduction number $\Re _0$ determines whether there is an endemic outbreak or not: if $\Re _0< 1$, the disease dies out; while if $\Re _0> 1$, the disease persists. For the stochastic model, we provide analytic results regarding the stochastic boundedness, perturbation, permanence and extinction. Finally, some numerical examples are carried out to confirm the analytical results. One of the most interesting findings is that stochastic fluctuations introduced in our stochastic model can suppress disease outbreak, which can provide us some useful control strategies to regulate disease dynamics.

Study of an S-I epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate: Discrete and stochastic version

Discrete and stochastic version of a susceptible-infective model system with nonlinear incidence rate is investigated. We observe that the discrete system converges to a unique equilibrium point for certain effective transmission rate of the disease and beyond which stability of the system is disturbed. Stochastic analysis suggests that the model system is globally asymptotically stable in probability for certain strengths of white noise. Numerical simulations are also performed to validate the results.     

BSDEs and SDEs with time-advanced and -delayed coefficients

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a class of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), whose coefficients not only depend on the value of its solutions of the present but also the past and the future. For a sufficiently small time delay or a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant, the existence and uniqueness of such BSDEs is obtained. As an adjoint process, a class of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is introduced, whose coefficients also depend on the present, the past and the future of its solutions. The existence and uniqueness of such SDEs is proved for a sufficiently small time advance or a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant. A duality between such BSDEs and SDEs is established.

A functional partial differential equation arising in a cell growth model with dispersion

In this paper we solve an initial‐boundary value problem that involves a pde with a nonlocal term. The problem comes from a cell division model where the growth is assumed to be stochastic. The deterministic version of this problem yields a first‐order pde; the stochastic version yields a second‐order parabolic pde. There are no general methods for solving such problems even for the simplest cases owing to the nonlocal term. Although a solution method was devised for the simplest version of the first‐order case, the analysis does not readily extend to the second‐order case. We develop a method for solving the second‐order case and obtain the exact solution in a form that allows us to study the long time asymptotic behaviour of solutions and the impact of the dispersion term. We establish the existence of a large time attracting solution towards which solutions converge exponentially in time. The dispersion term does not appear in the exponential rate of convergence.
