• An Additive Separation of Variables 3D Solution to a Dynamical BVP for Neutron Cancer Therapy  
  by Nassar Haidar 
  Abstract: We study the boundary-value problem (BVP) for irradiation of a rightrnparallelepipedal cancerous region in a (B/Gd) neutron cancer therapy (NCT)rncomposite-region setup by three mutually orthogonal, time-modulated, one-speed neutron beams. The technique of composite region coupling by a neutron source at a common boundary of different regions, that has been introduced in [1], is demonstrated to allow for an additive separation of variables (ASOV) regional neutron-density 3D wave solution to the posing four-regional boundary value problem (BVP). The beams, which may have different pulse shapes, have different modulation frequencies and variable relative time delays.

  Abstract: In this paper, the integer order Schr\"{o}dingerrnequation with the Woods-Saxon potential is extended to thernfractional $q$-difference field. We establish the Lyapunov-typerninequalities for nonlinear fractional $q$-difference equations, tornthe best of our knowledge, which is the first work dealing withrnLyapunov-type inequalities for nonlinear fractional $q$-differencernequations. Results in this paper even are new in integer order case.rnMoreover, we further investigate the two-point boundary valuernproblem of nonlinear fractional $q$-difference Schr\"{o}dingerrnequation with the Woods-Saxon potential. By applying thernLeray-Schauder degree theory, we get a sufficient condition of thernexistence of solutions that is relatively easy to verify comparedrnwith the result of existing literature. By utilizing thernLeggett-Williams fixed point theorem, an inequality is added to thernexistence condition of solutions of such problem studied in thernexisting literature, and we get the multiplicity of solutions ofrnthis problem. As applications, two examples are presented tornillustrate our main results.

  by Kristen Abernathy, Zachary Abernathy, Robert Dougherty-Bliss, Caleb Mayer, Heidi Whiteside 
  Abstract: We provide global stability arguments for a cancer treatment model with chemotherapy and radiotherapy that accounts for the cancer stem cell hypothesis. Employing the method of localization of compact invariant sets, we resolve the global dynamics of the no-treatment, constant radiation, and combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy cases. In our analysis of the combination treatment model, we show that the presence of a chemotherapy agent lowers the required radiation strength for a globally asymptotically stable cure state.

• Front transition in higher order diffusion equations with a general reaction nonlinearity  
  by Samir Shamseldeen 
  Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the wave front solutions of a class of higher order reaction-diffusion equations with a general reaction nonlinearity. Linear stability analysis with a modulated traveling wave perturbation is used to prove the existence of wave front solutions. We proved that the studied equation supports both monotonic translating front and patterned front solutions. Also, a minimal front speed and the condition for a transition between these front types (monotonic and patterned) are determined. Two numerical examples are discussed (the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov equation with two different reaction nonlinearities) to support the obtained results.

• Role of harvesting in controlling chaos and disease propagation in predator-prey system with disease in prey  
  by Prodip Roy, Krishna Pada Das, Partha Karmakar, Seema Sarkar (Mondal) 
  Abstract: The paper explores an eco-epidemiological model with harvesting in the species and the disease is circulating in the prey population. The curiosity of this paper is to consider the role of harvesting on chaotic dynamics. We perform the local and global stability analysis of the equilibrium points and the Hopf bifurcation analysis around the interior equilibrium point. Further we pay attention to the direction of Hopf Bifurcation. Our numerical simulations reveal that the three species eco-epidemiological system shows chaos in low level of infection. It is observed that when force of infection increases chaos becomes stable. We conclude that chaotic dynamics can be controlled by the harvesting parameter as well as the force of infection. We apply basic tools of non-linear dynamics such as Poincare section and maximum Lyapunov exponent to identify chaotic behavior of the system.

• Disappearance of limit cycle oscillations in a predator-prey model: role of mortality due to predation of infected prey  
  by Krishna Pada Das, Subhabrata Ghosh, Somnath Maiti 
  Abstract: This present work establishes an eco-epidemiological model byrnthree element, namely a susceptible prey,an infected prey and preda-rntor.In this situation the prey population shows its migratory nature.rnIt is observed in real life situation that a predator dies due to preda-rntion of an infected prey or they can even survive after consumptionrnof an infected one. We make a general consideration on the growth ofrnthe predator population by consuming the infected prey population.rnWe found that if the predation of the infected prey has a negativerneffect on the growth of the predator population, then the predatorsrnmay be washed away from the system but it will survive if the intakernof the infected prey has a positive effect which boost up its growth.rnWe found specific conditions under the influence of predational effectsrnfor the stability of the system around the coexistence of steady state.rnHopf-bifurcation and persistence conditions are also worked out. We observe that simultaneously with an increase in the degree of infectionrnthe system loses its stability and indicate limit cycle oscillation. Wernobserve that the oscillatory coexistence of the species disappears andrnthe system reaches its steady state position regulated by the conver-rnsion efficiency of the predator. Finally we perform extensive numericalrnsimulations to establish our analytical approach.

• Intrinsic growth rates influence on the net economic rents of fishermen  
  by Meriem BENTOUNSI, Imane AGMOUR, Naceur ACHTAICH, Youssef EL FOUTAYENI 
  Abstract: In this paper, a mathematical model consisting of Sardina pilchardus, Xiphias gladius and Bluefin tuna is considered. The differential system is based on the Lotka-Volterra scheme, considering a logistic growth for each population. Biological and bioeconomic equilibria of the system are obtained, and criteria for local stability and instability of the system are derived. This work is an attempt to study the effect of intrinsic growth coefficients changes on the net economic rents of several fishermen exploiting the three marine populations in the Atlantic coast of Morocco based on the parameters given by INRH (Institut National de Recherche Halieutique). To achieve this objective, we have to study the bioeconomic model. Numerical simulations are given to support the theoretical results.

  Abstract: The aim of this work is to determine the temperature, displacement function, thermal stresses and thermal deflection of a thin circular plate defined as 0  r  a, 0  z  h under an unsteady temperature field due to internal heat generation within it. Initially, the plate is kept at an arbitrary temperature F(r, z). For times t > 0, heat is generated within the thin circular plate at a rate of g(r, z, t) W.m−3. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by generalized finite Fourier transform and finite Hankel transform technique. The results are obtained in a series form in terms of Bessels functions. The results for temperature, displacement function, thermal stresses and thermal deflection have been computed numerically and are illustrated graphically.

• ERGODIC SHADOWING OF NON-AUTONOMOUS DISCRETE-TIME DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS  
  by Hadi Parham, Fateme Helen Ghane, Esmaeel Rezaali 
  Abstract: The present work is concerned with the ergodic shadowing property of non-autonomous discrete-time dynamical systems. The concept of the ergodic shadowing was introduced by Fakhari and Ghane (2010) for a continuous onto map. Here, we will generalize the notion of ergodic shadowing to non-autonomous discrete-time dynamical systems. We show that every uniformly equicontinuous non-autonomous discrete-time system with the ordinary shadowing and topologically mixing properties enjoys the ergodic shadowing property. Moreover, we define some kind of specification property and investigate its relation to the ergodic shadowing property. Finally, we prove that every uniformly expanding non-autonomous discrete-time system satisfies the ergodic shadowing property.

We also give several examples to illustrate the main result.

  by Binayak Nath, Krishna Pada Das 
  Abstract: The paper explores a tri-trophic food chain model with harvesting in the species. The curiosity of this paper is to observe chaotic dynamics and its control. We perform the local stability analysis of the equilibrium points. The Hopf bifurcation analysis and global stability around the interior equilibrium point are also performed. Our numerical simulations reveal that the three species food chain model induces chaos from period-doubling, limit cycle and stable focus for increasing values of half saturation constant. We conclude that chaotic dynamics can be controlled by the harvesting parameter. We apply basic tools of non-linear dynamics such as Poincare section and Lyapunov exponent to identify chaotic behavior of the system.

• Rough center in a 3-dimensional Lotka-Volterra system  
  by Yusen Wu 
  Abstract: This paper identifies rough center for a Lotka-Volterra system, a 3-dimensional quadratic polynomial differential system with four parameters $h,n,lambda,mu$. The known work shows the appearance of four limit cycles, but the center condition is not determined. In this paper, we verify the existence of at least four limit cycles in the positive equilibrium due to Hopf bifurcations by computing normal forms. Furthermore, applying algorithms of computational commutative algebra we find Darboux polynomial and give a center manifold in closed form globally, showing that the positive equilibrium of center-focus is actually a rough center on a center manifold.

• Diagnosis of time-delay fractional systems using observer-based methods  
  by Halima Atitallah, Asma Aribi, Mohamed Aoun 
  Abstract: In this paper, two model-based methods are considered for the diagnosis of time-delay fractional systems. Time-delay fractional Luenberger observer without unknown input and time-delay fractional unknown input observer are developed and used for fault detection and isolation. A single-observer scheme is needed for fault detection and a bank of generalized (respectively dedicated) observers is required for fault isolation. A theoretical study investigating the convergence condition for each observer-based method in terms of matrix inequalities is presented. Residual sensitivities to faults and to disturbances are studied. Time-delay fractional unknown input observer parameters are computed to obtain structured residuals. This observer ensures unknown input decoupling from the state which results residual insensitive to unknown inputs. Two numerical examples to validate the efficiency of the proposed approaches for diagnosis of time-delay fractional systems are given. Example 1 illustrates the efficiency of the two observers in fault detection and the difference between them in unknown input influence. Example 2 illustrates the efficiency of the proposed approach for fault isolation.

• Effects of Computer Networks' Viruses under the Influence of Removable Devices  
  by Ashraf Ahmad, Yousef Abu Hour, Mahmoud DarAssi 
  Abstract: The Removable devices (RD) is one of the important factors that affects the virus spreading. We assumed that the infected RD could affect the nodes of $S$ and $E$ compartments at the rates, $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2,$ respectively. While the previous studies considered this effect on susceptible compartment only. {Moreover, we considered the effect of the rate of the nodes which are break down from network because of infected RD, $\mu_1 $.} This model has no virus-free equilibrium and has a unique endemic equilibrium. The theorems of asymptotically autonomous systems and the generalized Poincare-Bendixson are used to show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Numerical methods are used to solve the obtained system of differential equations and the solutions are illustrated in several examples. The effects of $\xi, \, \epsilon,\, \theta_1 $ and $\theta_2$ rates on the devices that moved from latent to recovered nodes are investigated. The behavior of the susceptible, exposed and infected nodes in the computer network have been analyzed.

• Bifurcation behavior of a nonlinear innovation diffusion model with external influences  
  by Rakesh Kumar, Anuj Sharma, Kulbhushan Agnihotri 
  Abstract: A nonlinear form of Bass model for innovation diffusion consisting of two differential equations governed by two variables viz. for adopters and non-adopters population densities is proposed to lay stress on the evaluation period. By investigating the corresponding characteristic equation, the local stability of a positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are demonstrated by analyzing the associated characteristic equation. The critical value of evaluation period is determined beyond which small amplitude oscillations of the adopter and non-adopters population occur, and this critical value goes on decreasing with the increase in carrying capacity of the non-adopters population. Basic results are derived to determine the direction of bifurcations and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. Sensitivity analysis is performed for state variables at positive steady state on model parameters. It is observed that the cumulative density of external influences has a significant role in developing the maturity stage (final adoption stage) in the system. Numerical computations are executed to confirm the correctness of theoretical investigations.

  by Robert OBrien 
  Abstract: A commutative semigroup of contractions S on a Hilbert space, H, has a natural order and net structure which defines stability, system dynamics, and α and ω limits for the flight vectors H0. The space of pure flight vectors (no weakly stable components) are spanned by the ω limits of weakly-wandering vectors which are weakly Poisson recurrent. The result H0 splits: H0 = Hm ⊕Hw, Hw the weakly stable subspace and Hm the weakly Poisson recurrent space. Hm = ⊕M(xτ,S) where M(xτ,S) is the closed subspace spanned by the weak limit points of xτ, {xτ} an orthonormal set of weakly-wandering vectors in Hm. Two examples illustrate the results.

Then we consider the initial value problem (IVP) for multi-term fractional differential equation. By introducing new unknown functions, we rewrite the IVP for multi-term fractional differential equation into the IVP for a fractional differential equation system. Thus the solution can be given in terms of matrix Mittag-Leffler functions. We demonstrate the method using four numerical examples and the results are simulated using MATHEMATICA 8.

It is assumed that in the reserved zone only prey species can access and predation is strictly prohibited, whereas in the free zone both the species can cohabit and naturally predation is allowed. The migration rates of the prey species from reserved zone to unreserved zone and vice-versa both depends on predator's availability and accordingly suitable functions has been incorporated in the model system. The local and global stability analysis of the model system have been performed in a systematic manner and system persistence criterion has been established. The role of prey migration rate from reserved zone to unreserved zone has been investigated and it is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the prey migration rate from reserved zone to unreserved zone crosses a certain threshold value. It is also found that the prey migration rate has stabilizing effect on the dynamics of the system and has significant effect on the coexistence of all the species. Finally numerical simulation has been carried out to support our analytical findings.

• Space time fractional Boussinesq equation with singular and non singular kernels  
  by Ritu Agarwal, Mahaveer Yadav, Ravi P. Agarwal 
  Abstract: Recently, many authors have found analytical and numerical solutions of fractional Boussinesq equation by applying various fractional operators with singular kernels. Motivated by recently introduced fractional operators with non-singular kernels, in this paper a comparison of the solution of linearized fractional Boussinesq equation has been made for the fractional operators Caputo (with singular kernel) and Caputo-Fabrizio (with non-singular kernel). Linearized Boussinesq equation is derived by assuming that the average thickness of saturated layer of an aquifer is constant.

• Dynamics of a predator-prey model with discrete and distributed delay  
  by Bootan Rahman, Muhammad Yau, Yuliya Kyrychko, Konstantin Blyuss 
  Abstract: This paper considers a predator-prey model with discrete time delay representing prey handling time and assumed equal to the predator maturation period, and a distributed time delay describing intra-species interactions. We show that due to the delayed logistic growth of the prey, it is impossible for the species to become extinct through predation. Conditions for existence and local stability of the co-existence equilibrium are derived in terms of system parameters. Using techniques of centre manifold reduction and the normal form theory, we establish the direction of Hopf bifurcation of the co-existence equilibrium, as well as the stability of the bifurcating period solution. Numerical bifurcation analysis and simulations are performed to illustrate regions of stability of the co-existence equilibrium, to investigate how the amplitude and the period of bifurcating periodic solutions depend on parameters, and to demonstrate different types of dynamics of the system.

• Global dynamics analysis of a stochastic SIRS epidemic model with vertical transmission and different periods of immunity  
  by Driss KIOUACH, Yassine SABBAR 
  Abstract: In this work, we analyze a stochastic SIRS (Susceptible-InfectedRecovered-Susceptible) epidemic model with vertical transmission and different periods of immunity. This model has a global positive solution. Firstly, we establish sufficient conditions for extinction and persistence in the mean of a disease. Then, we prove the global stability of the system under a suitable condition of perturbation intensity. In the case of the non-autonomous system, we show that there exists at least one positive periodic solution. Finally, some numerical examples are introduced to show the validity of our results.

  by Changjin Xu 
  Abstract: In this paper, we are concerned with a new fractional incommensurate order financial system\r\nwhich is a generalized version of the\r\nfinancial model investigated in earlier works. Designing a suitable time-delayed feedback controller, we have controlled the chaotic phenomenon of the\r\nfractional incommensurate order financial system. By analyzing the characteristic equation of the involved financial system and regarding the delay as the bifurcation\r\nparameter, we establish a set of new sufficient conditions to guarantee the stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation\r\n for fractional incommensurate order financial system.\r\n The study reveals that the delay and the fractional order have an important influence on the stability and Hopf bifurcation of considered financial system.\r\n Computer simulations are presented to illustrate the correctness of the theoretical results.\r\n The theoretical findings of this paper are new and have important meanings in dealing with the economic and financial problems.

• Residual power series method for the time fractional Fornberg-Whitham equation  
  by Jianke Zhang, Luyang Yin 
  Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to solve the time fractional Fornberg-Whitham equation by the residual power series method, where the fractional derivatives are in Caputo sense. According to the definition of generalized fractional power series, the solutions of the fractional differential equations are approximatively expanded and substituted into the differential equations. The coefficients to be determined in the approximate solutions are calculated according to the residual functions and the initial conditions, and the approximate analytical solutions of the equations can be obtained. Finally, the approximate analytical solutions are compared with the exact solutions. The results show that the residual power series method is convenient and effective for solving the time fractional Fornberg-Whitham equation.

• A Discrete Viral Infection Model with Both Modes of Transmission and Distributed Delays  
  by E.L. Boukari Brahim, Hattaf Khalid, E.L. Ghordaf Jalila 
  Abstract: The aim of this work is to propose and analyze a discrete virus dynamics model with distributed delays and both modes of transmission, one by virus-to-cell infection and the other by cell-to-cell transfer. In the proposed model, the first distributed delays describes the time needed for infected cells to produce new virions, and the second portrays the time necessary for the newly produced virions to become mature and infectious. In addition, the infection transmission process is modeled by general incidence functions for both modes. Furthermore, we prove that the proposed discrete model has the same dynamics as the corresponding continuous model, such as positivity, boundedness and global behaviors of solutions with no restriction on the time step size. Moreover, numerical simulations are given to illustrate and confirm our main analytical results.

• Single controller for synchronization of coupled neural networks with distributed time-varying delays  
  by Cheng-De Zheng, Fan Xie 
  Abstract: This paper deals with global synchronization in arrays of delayed chaotic neural networks with nonlinear hybrid coupling. By constructing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a novel synchronization criterion is presented in terms of matrix inequalities based on Chen's integral inequalities and reciprocal convex technique. These established conditions are heavily dependent on the bounds of both time-delay and its derivative. Through employing Matlab Toolbox and adjusting some matrix parameters in the derived results, the design and applications of the generalized networks can be realized. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed methods is demonstrated by a numerical example with simulations.

  by Rebiha Zeghdane 
  Abstract: In this paper, we give a new method for solving stochastic nonlinear Volterra integral equations by using shifted Legendre operational matrix.

• Optimal Control of Behaviour and Treatment in a Nonautonomous SIR Model  
  by Samhita Das, Pritha Das, Parthasakha Das 
  Abstract: In this paper we have considered a nonautonomous SIR (susceptible, infected, removed) model with saturation incidence rate for disease transmission. The global dynamical properties like permanence and global stability of the system as well as extinction of disease are analytically and numerically studied. The impact of behavioural patterns of individuals on disease control is validated along with possible applications. Further, Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is used to characterize optimal level of the two controls, treatment and awareness level. Our objective is to minimise the infected population as well as the cost of applied control. The controls at optimal level are found to achieve different levels of impact on infection. It is observed that the combined impact of treatment and awareness exhibits more effective result in disease control compared to their single application. Based on observation, the strategy regarding the implementation of awareness and treatment is suggested.
