Gowrisankar, Lamberto Rondoni","doi":"10.1111/sapm.70323","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/sapm.70323","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We formulate a three-dimensional tumor–immune model obtained by adding to an established tumor–host–effector system two phenomenological perturbation terms, whose signs are motivated by the reported tumor-promoting and effector-suppressing influence of regulatory B cells; their coefficients are dynamical control parameters and are not calibrated to biological rates. The perturbed and unperturbed dynamics are compared using phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, parameter sensitivity, and multifractal indicators. Because trajectory-wise prediction is intrinsically limited in chaotic regimes and initial cell populations are only partially known, we also extend exact response theory, originally developed in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics, to the relevant non-compact positive set of populations values. Admissible initial densities are introduced to control boundary terms and ensure the validity of the exact response identity for finite-time ensemble averages. The resulting formulation quantifies both instantaneous and cumulative changes in tumor, host, and effector-cell observables under finite parameter perturbations, without requiring a small-perturbation approximation. Numerical tests verify the response identity against direct Monte Carlo propagation and assess sampling and time-discretization errors. For the parameter ranges studied, the perturbations can move the model between periodic and chaotic regimes, while ensemble averages remain considerably smoother than individual trajectories, and are capable of significant predictions. Long-time averaged responses are consistent across three admissible initial ensembles, although instantaneous dispersion can remain substantial. The analysis therefore separates attractor geometry from finite-time statistical response and provides a mathematically controlled framework for uncertainty-aware comparison of tumor-growth models, especially relevant in the potentially most interesting transients. The biological interpretation remains qualitative: The perturbation coefficients are not clinically calibrated rates, and any correspondence with regulatory B-cell biology requires independent experimental validation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"157 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of well-known and widely used parametric specifications, for many of which asymptotic results have not been specifically established, are contained in the class. The estimator is robust in the sense that the exact specification of the conditional volatility dynamics need not be known or estimated, and in the sense that the stochastic component need not be strictly stationary. The latter is especially important in light of recent findings, which document that financial returns are frequently characterised by a non-stationary zero-process. Our estimator is also robust to the well-known “curse of dimensionality” in multivariate models due to its equation-by-equation nature. While our estimator does not require the exact specification of the conditional volatility dynamics to be known or estimated, our results imply that the scaled GARCH(1,1) specification is well-defined under both correct and incorrect specifications. So we provide methods for its estimation in a second step. Also, due to the assumptions we rely upon, our results extend directly to the Multiplicative Error Model (MEM) interpretation of volatility models. This means our results can also be applied to other non-negative processes like volume, duration, realised volatility, dividends, unemployment, and so on.
