Stability Analysis Of Thermohaline Convection With A Time-Varying Shear Flow Using The Lyapunov Method, Kalin Kochnev Dec 2025

Stability Analysis Of Thermohaline Convection With A Time-Varying Shear Flow Using The Lyapunov Method, Kalin Kochnev

Honors Scholar Theses

This work applies the Lyapunov method to identify instabilities and compute the growth rate of a linear time-varying system. The linear system studied describes cold fresh water on top of hot salty water with a periodically time-varying background shear flow. A time-dependent weighting matrix is employed to construct a Lyapunov function candidate. The resulting linear matrix inequalities are discretized in time using the forward Euler method. As the number of temporal discretization points increases, the growth rate predicted by the Lyapunov method or Floquet theory, used for comparison, will converge to the same value obtained from numerical simulations. Furthermore, the …

Global Stability Of Ebola Virus Disease Model With Contact Tracing And Quarantine, Chinwendu E. Madubueze, Anande R. Kimbir, Terhemen Aboiyar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This study considers a deterministic model of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) incorporating contact tracing and quarantine as interventions. The model analyze the existence and stability of Disease-Free Equilibrium (DFE) and Endemic Equilibrium (EE) states. The local stability of EE is established using centre manifold theorem. The global stability of the two equilibrium states are obtained by constructing the Lyapunov function. Numerical simulations are carried out to examine the impact of contact tracing and quarantine measures on the transmission dynamics of EVD. The result indicates that EVD could be eliminated faster when contact tracing and quarantine measures are implemented together.

Some Insights Into The Migration Of Double Imaginary Roots Under Small Deviation Of Two Parameters, Dina Alina Irofti, Keqin Gu, Islam Boussaada, Silviu-Iulian Niculescu

This paper studies the migration of double imaginary roots of the systems’ characteristic equation when two parameters are subjected to small deviations. The proposed approach covers a wide range of models. Under the least degeneracy assumptions, we found that the local stability crossing curve has a cusp at the point that corresponds to the double root, and it divides the neighborhood of this point into an S-sector and a G-sector. When the parameters move into the G-sector, one of the roots moves to the right halfplane, and the other moves to the left half-plane. When the parameters move into the …
