On The Convergence Of Two-Dimensional Fuzzy Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equations By Using Picard Method, Ali Ebadian, Foroozan Farahrooz, Amirahmad Khajehnasiri Dec 2016

On The Convergence Of Two-Dimensional Fuzzy Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equations By Using Picard Method, Ali Ebadian, Foroozan Farahrooz, Amirahmad Khajehnasiri

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper we prove convergence of the method of successive approximations used to approximate the solution of nonlinear two-dimensional Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and define the notion of numerical stability of the algorithm with respect to the choice of the first iteration. Also we present an iterative procedure to solve such equations. Finally, the method is illustrated by solving some examples.


Complex Solutions Of The Time Fractional Gross-Pitaevskii (Gp) Equation With External Potential By Using A Reliable Method, Nasir Taghizadeh, Mona N. Foumani Dec 2016

Complex Solutions Of The Time Fractional Gross-Pitaevskii (Gp) Equation With External Potential By Using A Reliable Method, Nasir Taghizadeh, Mona N. Foumani

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, modified (G'/G )-expansion method is presented to establish the exact complex solutions of the time fractional Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation in the sense of the conformable fractional derivative. This method is an effective method in finding exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) in mathematical physics. The present approach has the potential to be applied to other nonlinear fractional differential equations. Based on two transformations, fractional GP equation can be converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equation of integer orders. In the end, we will discuss the solutions of the fractional GP equation with external potentials.


Spreading Speeds Along Shifting Resource Gradients In Reaction-Diffusion Models And Lattice Differential Equations., Jin Shang Dec 2016

Spreading Speeds Along Shifting Resource Gradients In Reaction-Diffusion Models And Lattice Differential Equations., Jin Shang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A reaction-diffusion model and a lattice differential equation are introduced to describe the persistence and spread of a species along a shifting habitat gradient. The species is assumed to grow everywhere in space and its growth rate is assumed to be monotone and positive along the habitat region. We show that the persistence and spreading dynamics of a species are dependent on the speed of the shifting edge of the favorable habitat, c, as well as c*(∞) and c*(−∞), which are formulated in terms of the dispersal kernel and species growth rates in both directions. When …

Anthrax Models Involving Immunology, Epidemiology And Controls, Buddhi Raj Pantha Aug 2016

Anthrax Models Involving Immunology, Epidemiology And Controls, Buddhi Raj Pantha

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation is divided in two parts. Chapters 2 and 3 consider the use of optimal control theory in an anthrax epidemiological model. Models consisting system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential differential equations (PDEs) are considered to describe the dynamics of infection spread. Two controls, vaccination and disposal of infected carcasses, are considered and their optimal management strategies are investigated. Chapter 4 consists modeling early host pathogen interaction in an inhalational anthrax infection which consists a system of ODEs that describes early dynamics of bacteria-phagocytic cell interaction associated to an inhalational anthrax infection.

First we consider a …


The Survival Probability Of Beneficial De Novo Mutations In Budding Viruses, With An Emphasis On Influenza A Viral Dynamics, Jennifer Ns Reid Jul 2016

The Survival Probability Of Beneficial De Novo Mutations In Budding Viruses, With An Emphasis On Influenza A Viral Dynamics, Jennifer Ns Reid

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

A deterministic model is developed of the within-host dynamics of a budding virus, and coupled with a detailed life-history model using a branching process approach to follow the fate of de novo beneficial mutations affecting five life-history traits: clearance, attachment, eclipse, budding, and cell death. Although the model can be generalized for any given budding virus, our work was done with a major emphasis on the early stages of infection with influenza A virus in human populations. The branching process was then interleaved with a stochastic process describing the disease transmission of this virus. These techniques allowed us to predict …


A New Approach For Solving System Of Local Fractional Partial Differential Equations, Hossein Jafari, Hassan K. Jassim Jun 2016

A New Approach For Solving System Of Local Fractional Partial Differential Equations, Hossein Jafari, Hassan K. Jassim

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we apply a new method for solving system of partial differential equations within local fractional derivative operators. The approximate analytical solutions are obtained by using the local fractional Laplace variational iteration method, which is the coupling method of local fractional variational iteration method and Laplace transform. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the high accuracy and fast convergence of this new algorithm. The obtained results show that the introduced approach is a promising tool for solving system of linear and nonlinear local fractional differential equations. Furthermore, we show that local fractional Laplace variational iteration method is able …


On The Global Existence And Boundedness Of Solutions Of Nonlinear Vector Differential Equations Of Third Order, Timur Ayhan, Cemil Tunç Jun 2016

On The Global Existence And Boundedness Of Solutions Of Nonlinear Vector Differential Equations Of Third Order, Timur Ayhan, Cemil Tunç

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we give some criteria to ensure the global existence and boundedness of solutions to a kind of third order nonlinear vector differential equations. By using the Lyapunov's direct method, we obtain a new result on the topic and give an example for the illustrations. Our result includes, completes and improves some earlier results in the literature.


On Local Asymptotic Stability Of Q-Fractional Nonlinear Dynamical Systems, Ilknur Koca, Elif Demirci Jun 2016

On Local Asymptotic Stability Of Q-Fractional Nonlinear Dynamical Systems, Ilknur Koca, Elif Demirci

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, locally asymptotic stability of q-fractional order nonlinear dynamical systems is introduced and studied. The sufficient conditions for local stability of such dynamical systems are obtained. Also, useful definitions of fractional order q-integrals and q-derivatives are recalled. Finally, a q-fractional order nonlinear dynamical model is considered.


Mathematical Modeling Of Quadcopter Dynamics, Qikai Huang (Bruce Wingo) May 2016

Mathematical Modeling Of Quadcopter Dynamics, Qikai Huang (Bruce Wingo)

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Recently, Google, Amazon and others are attempting to develop delivery drones for commercial use, in particular Amazon Prime Air promising 30 minute delivery. One type of commonly used drone proposed for such purposes is a quadcopter. Quadcopters have been around for some time with original development in the 1920’s. They are popular now because they are mechanically simple and provide a good vehicle for unmanned flight. By controlling the speed of the four propellers, a quadcopter can roll, change pitch, change yaw, and accelerate. This research will focus on the study of classical mechanics theories on rigid body motion using …
