While the modified EWMA control method is commonly used for this purpose, it can sometimes experience delays in detecting changes. The proposed method aims to address this limitation by incorporating conditional expected delay. The study utilizes simulations to conduct a performance comparison between the modified EWMA control method and the conventional EWMA control, employing the metric of conditional expected delay. Simulation results demonstrate the modified EWMA control method with conditional expected delay in terms of accurately and rapidly detecting changes. Overall, this study concludes that the integration of conditional expected delay into the modified EWMA control method can increase its effectiveness in detecting changes in a process. This has significant practical implications for a variety of industries that require timely and accurate detection of changes to maintain product quality and optimize processes.","PeriodicalId":36662,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135437813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, motion magnification techniques, which aim at amplifying and hence revealing subtle motion in videos, appear useful for handling such expressions. There are basically two main approaches, namely, via Eulerian or Lagrangian techniques. While the first one magnifies motion implicitly by operating directly on image pixels, the Lagrangian approach uses optical flow (OF) techniques to extract and magnify pixel trajectories. In this study, we propose a novel approach for local Lagrangian motion magnification of facial micro-motions. Our contribution is 3-fold: first, we fine tune the recurrent all-pairs field transforms (RAFT) for OFs deep learning approach for faces by adding ground truth obtained from the variational dense inverse search (DIS) for the OF algorithm applied to the CASME II video set of facial micro expressions. This enables us to produce OFs of facial videos in an efficient and sufficiently accurate way. Second, since facial micro-motions are both local in space and time, we propose to approximate the OF field by sparse components both in space and time leading to a double sparse decomposition. Third, we use this decomposition to magnify micro-motions in specific areas of the face, where we introduce a new forward warping strategy using a triangular splitting of the image grid and barycentric interpolation of the RGB vectors at the corners of the transformed triangles. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by various examples.","PeriodicalId":36662,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pest management also emphasizes the need for farming awareness. A high crop yield is ultimately achieved by protecting crops from pests and raising public awareness of the devastation caused by pests. In this research, we aim to investigate the intricate impacts of nonlinear delayed systems for managing crop pest management (CPM) supervised by Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Our focus will be on highlighting the intricate and often unpredictable relationships that occur over time among crops, pests, strategies for rehabilitation, and environmental factors. The nonlinear delayed CPM model incorporated the four compartments: crop biomass density [B(t)], susceptible pest density [S(t)], infected pest density [I(t)], and population awareness level [A(t)]. The approximate solutions for the four compartments B(t), S(t), I(t), and A(t) are determined by the implementation of sundry scenarios generated with the variation in crop biomass growth rate, rate of pest attacks, pest natural death rate, disease associated death rate and memory loss of aware people, by means of exploiting the strength of the Adams (ADS) and explicit Runge-Kutta (ERK) numerical solvers. Comparative analysis of the designed approach is carried out for the dynamic impacts of the nonlinear delayed CPM model in terms of numerical outcomes and simulations based on sundry scenarios.","PeriodicalId":36662,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44145575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systems with low numbers of particles are frequently modeled as discrete-state Markov jump processes and are typically simulated via a stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA). An SSA, while accurate, is often unsuitable for systems with large numbers of individuals, and can become prohibitively expensive with increasing reaction frequency. Large systems are often modeled deterministically using ordinary differential equations, sacrificing accuracy and stochasticity for computational efficiency and analytical tractability. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid technique for the accurate and efficient simulation of large chemical reaction networks. This technique, which we name the regime-conversion method, couples a discrete-state Markov jump process to a system of ordinary differential equations by simulating a reaction network using both techniques simultaneously. Individual molecules in the network are represented by exactly one regime at any given time, and may switch their governing regime depending on particle density. In this manner, we model high copy-number species using the cheaper continuum method and low copy-number species using the more expensive, discrete-state stochastic method to preserve the impact of stochastic fluctuations at low copy number. The motivation, as with similar methods, is to retain the advantages while mitigating the shortfalls of each method. We demonstrate the performance and accuracy of our method for several test problems that exhibit varying degrees of inter-connectivity and complexity by comparing averaged trajectories obtained from both our method and from exact stochastic simulation.","PeriodicalId":36662,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41786833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Crank-Nicolson scheme with a uniform mesh is used for the discretization of the time derivative, while for the spatial discretization, we have applied a fitted operator finite difference method following the nonstandard methodology of Mickens. Moreover, the solution bounds of the governing equation are shown by asymptotic analysis. The convergence of the proposed numerical scheme is investigated using truncation error and the barrier function approach.

For a small ε, the problem exhibits a boundary layer, which makes it challenging to solve it analytically or using standard numerical methods. As a result, the backward Euler scheme is applied in the temporal direction. Non-symmetric finite difference schemes are applied for approximating the first-order derivative terms, and a higher-order finite difference method is applied for approximating the second-order derivative term. Furthermore, an exponential fitting factor is computed and induced in the difference scheme to handle the effect of the small parameter. Using the discrete maximum principle, the stability of the scheme is examined and analyzed. The developed scheme is parameter-uniform with a linear order of convergence in both space and time.

Exclusive breastfeeding practices are more crucial and effective in preventing illness outbreaks when there is no access to appropriate medications or vaccinations. Additionally, this study takes optimal control theory into account, applying it to a system of differential equations that uses Pontryagin's Maximum Principle to describe a bimodal pneumonia transmission behavior in a vulnerable compartment. The proposed pneumonia transmission model was then updated to include two control variables. These include preventing illness exposure in susceptible children through various preventative measures and treating infected children through antibiotics, hospital care, and other treatments. If the threshold number (ℜ0) is less than one, then treatment and prevention rates are increased, and the disease will be wiped out of the population. However, when (ℜ0) is greater than one, then the disease persists in the population, which indicates that prevention and treatment rates are low. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of all potential control techniques and their combinations, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was determined. The simulation results of the identified model show that the interventions of prevention and treatment scenarios were the most successful in eradicating the dynamics of the pneumonia disease's propagation during the epidemic, but they were ineffective from a cost-saving perspective. Therefore, limiting pneumonia transmission to prevention alone during an outbreak is the most economical course of action.","PeriodicalId":36662,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45846291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
