The nanofluid is propagating through an anisotropically tapered artery with three different configurations: converging, diverging and non-tapered. To examine the rheology of the blood we have incorporated a Williamson fluid model which reveals both Newtonian and non-Newtonian effects. Mathematical and physical formulations are derived using the lubrication approach for continuity, momentum and energy equations. The impact of magnetic field, porosity and viscous dissipation are also taken into the proposed formulation. A perturbation approach is used to determine the solutions of the formulated nonlinear coupled equations. The physical behavior of all the leading parameters is discussed for velocity, temperature, impedance and streamlines profile. The current analysis has the intention to be used in therapeutic treatments of anemia because cobalt promotes the production of red blood cells since it is a component of vitamin B12, this is in addition to having tantalum that is used in the bone implants and in the iodinated agents for blood imaging due to its long circulation time.","PeriodicalId":18285,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48634895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The propagation of prey and predator population waves and the propagation of co-existing populations' waves are considered. The simulations demonstrate that even in the case of an unstable quasi-equilibrium state of the system, which is established behind the front of a traveling wave, the propagation velocity of the joint population wave is a well-defined function. The calculated average propagation velocity of a cellular non-stationary wave front is determined uniquely for a given set of problem parameters. The estimations of the wave propagation velocity are obtained for both the case of a plane and cellular wave fronts of populations. The structure and velocity of outward propagating circular cellular wave are investigated to clarify the local curvature and scaling effects on the wave dynamics.","PeriodicalId":18285,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48741916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More precisely, the investigation of the control problem for the second model discrete-time FM. Random packet dropouts, time delays and quantization are taken into consideration in the feedback control problem simultaneously. Measured signals are quantized before being communicated. A logarithmic quantizer is utilized and quantized signal measurements are handled by a sector bound method. The random packet dropouts are modeled as a Bernoulli process. A control law model which depends on packet dropouts and quantization is formulated. Notably, we lighten the assumptions by using the Schur complement. Besides, both a state feedback controller and an observer-based output feedback controller are designed to ensure corresponding closed-loop systems asymptotically stability. Sufficient conditions on mean square asymptotic stability in terms of LMIs have been obtained. Finally, two numerical example show the feasibility of our theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":18285,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48083437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In one-dimensional insect outbreak model, we find the fixed points representing refuge and outbreak from the bifurcation curves, and carry out a sensitivity analysis with respect to small changes in the model parameters, the stability index and the noise intensity. We perform the numerical simulations of dynamical trajectories using Monte Carlo methods, which contribute to looking at stochastic hysteresis phenomenon. As for two-dimensional insect outbreak system, we identify the global stability properties of fixed points and express the probability density function by the stationary solution of the nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation. Through numerical modelling, the phase portrait makes it possible to detect critical transitions among the stable states. It is then worth describing stochastic bifurcation associated with tipping points induced by noise through a careful examination of the dynamical paths of the insect outbreak system with external forcing. The results give new insight into the sensitivity of ecosystems to realistic environmental changes represented by stochastic perturbations.","PeriodicalId":18285,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41259543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work we present a mathematical modeling framework to test hypotheses related to the radiation-induced effects on bone metastasis. Thus, we pose an optimal control problem based on a Komarova model describing the interactions between cancer cells and bone cells at a single site of bone remodeling. The radiotherapy treatment is included in the form of a functional which minimizes the use of radiation using a penalty function. Moreover, we are interested to model the 'on' and the 'off' time states of the radiation schedules; so we propose an optimal control problem with a L1-type objective functional.\u0000\u0000Bang-bang or singular arc solutions are the obtained optimal control solutions.
