Influence Of Non-Linearity To The Optimal Experimental Design Demonstrated By A Biological System, René Schenkendorf, Andreas Kremling, Michael Mangold Jan 2012

Influence Of Non-Linearity To The Optimal Experimental Design Demonstrated By A Biological System, René Schenkendorf, Andreas Kremling, Michael Mangold

René Schenkendorf

A precise estimation of parameters is essential to generate mathematical models with a highly predictive power. A framework that attempts to reduce parameter uncertainties caused by measurement errors is known as Optimal Experimental Design (OED). The Fisher Information Matrix (FIM), which is commonly used to define a cost function for OED, provides at the best only a lower bound of parameter uncertainties for models that are non-linear in their parameters. In this work, the Sigma Point method is used instead, because it enables a more reliable approximation of the parameter statistics accompanied by a manageable computational effort. Moreover, it is …

Instabilities And Patterns In Coupled Reaction-Diffusion Layers, Anne J. Catlla, Amelia Mcnamara, Chad M. Topaz Jan 2012

Instabilities And Patterns In Coupled Reaction-Diffusion Layers, Anne J. Catlla, Amelia Mcnamara, Chad M. Topaz

Chad M. Topaz

We study instabilities and pattern formation in reaction-diffusion layers that are diffusively coupled. For two-layer systems of identical two-component reactions, we analyze the stability of homogeneous steady states by exploiting the block symmetric structure of the linear problem. There are eight possible primary bifurcation scenarios, including a Turing-Turing bifurcation that involves two disparate length scales whose ratio may be tuned via the interlayer coupling. For systems of n-component layers and nonidentical layers, the linear problem’s block form allows approximate decomposition into lower-dimensional linear problems if the coupling is sufficiently weak. As an example, we apply these results to a two-layer …

The Generalised Zakharov-Shabat System And The Gauge Group Action, Georgi Grahovski

Articles

The generalized Zakharov-Shabat systems with complex-valued non-regular Cartan elements and the systems studied by Caudrey, Beals and Coifman (CBC systems) and their gauge equivalent are studied. This study includes: the properties of fundamental analytical solutions (FAS) for the gauge-equivalent to CBC systems and the minimal set of scattering data; the description of the class of nonlinear evolutionary equations, solvable by the inverse scattering method, and the recursion operator, related to such systems; the hierarchies of Hamiltonian structures. The results are illustrated on the example of the multi-component nonlinear Schrodinger (MNLS) equations and the corresponding gauge-equivalent multi-component Heisenberg ferromagnetic (MHF) type …


Stability Analysis Of Fitzhugh-Nagumo With Smooth Periodic Forcing, Tyler Massaro, Benjamin F. Esham Jan 2012

Stability Analysis Of Fitzhugh-Nagumo With Smooth Periodic Forcing, Tyler Massaro, Benjamin F. Esham

Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Mathematics

Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley received the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology for their work describing the propagation of action potentials in the squid giant axon. Major analysis of their system of differential equations was performed by Richard FitzHugh, and later by Jin-Ichi Nagumo who created a tunnel diode circuit based upon FitzHugh’s work. The resulting differential model, known as the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FH-N) oscillator, represents a simplification of the Hodgkin-Huxley (H-H) model, but still replicates the original neuronal dynamics (Izhikevich, 2010). We begin by providing a thorough grounding in the physiology behind the equations, then continue by introducing some …

Hydrogen Production From Biogas By Oxy-Reforming: Reaction System Analysis, Aleksandra Terlecka, Wojciech M. Budzianowski

Wojciech Budzianowski

Oxy-reforming is emerging as an interesting alternative to conventional methods of hydrogen generation. The current article characterises this process through analysis of individual reactions: SMR (steam methane reforming), WGS (water gas shift) and CPO (catalytic partial oxidation). Analyses relate to optimisation of thermal conditions thus enabling cost-effectivenes of the process.
