The model derivation is modulated by several mechanistic processes inherent from typical airborne diseases. The notion of minimum contact radius is included in the direct transmission, facilitating the arguments on physical distancing. As fomite transmission heavily relates to former-trace of sneezes, the vector field of the system naturally contains an integral kernel with time delay indicating the contribution of undetected and non-quarantined asymptomatic cases in accumulating the historical contamination of surfaces. We then increase the complexity by including the different transmission routines within and between households. For airborne diseases, within-household interactions play a significant role in the propagation of the disease rendering countrywide effect. Two steps were taken to include the effect of household structure. The first step subdivides the entire compartments (susceptible, exposed, asymptomatic, symptomatic, recovered, death) into the household level and different infection rates for the direct transmission within and between households were distinguished. Under predefined conditions and assumptions, the governing system on household level can be raised to the community level. The second step then raises the governing system to the country level, where the final state variables estimate the total individuals from all compartments in the country. Two key attributes related to the household structure (number of local households and number of household members) effectively classify countries to be of low or high risk in terms of effective disease propagation. The basic reproductive number is calculated and its biological meaning is invoked properly. The numerical methods for solving the DIDE-system and the parameter estimation problem were mentioned. Our optimal model solutions are in quite good agreement with datasets of COVID-19 active cases and related deaths from Germany and Sri Lanka in early infection, allowing us to hypothesize several unobservable situations in the two countries. Focusing on extending minimum contact radius and reducing the intensity of individual activities, we were able to synthesize the key parameters telling what to practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":44012,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics in Industry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7784626/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38804221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the complexity of the structure and performance constraints of the aircraft, the route planning algorithm does not have well universality, so it cannot be used in a complex environment. In the paper, a multi-constraints and dual-targets aircraft route planning model was established for the real-time requirements of space flight, the dynamic changes of flight environment with time, the accuracy requirements of positioning errors in the safety area, and the minimum turning radius constraints. Based on the directed graph and dynamic programming ideas, the model simulation and model validation were carried out with the data of F question in the “16th Graduate Mathematical Modeling Contest”. The results showed that the optimal path length obtained in data set 1 was 124.61 km, the number of corrections was 11 times, the solution time was 2.3768 seconds, the optimal path length obtained in data set 2 was 110.00 km, and the number of corrections was 12 times. The solution time was 0.0168 seconds. Multi-constraints and dual-targets aircraft route planning model can plan the flight path of the aircraft intuitively and timely, which confirmed the effectiveness of the model.","PeriodicalId":44012,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics in Industry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2020-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138512859","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}

A track correction method based on oriented graph search was proposed, and the dynamic programming idea was applied to solve the path optimization problem. Firstly, the correction points in the flight space were preprocessed, and the planning of the correction points in the flight space was transformed into a graph theory problem. It effectively solves the problem that traditional methods did not adapt well to dynamic changes in flight space. And the problem of too high complexity in the calculation space. Using the dynamic programming idea to carry out the flight path planning for the flight space, the path-correction number optimal double-objective model is comprehensively established. Finally, the oriented graph and dynamic programming ideas were used to solve the problem, and the visual analysis of the aircraft track was realized. The simulation results show that the established path-corrected optimal double-objective model can calculate an optimal track with relatively small correction times and short length.","PeriodicalId":44012,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics in Industry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138512860","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}

These mechanical deformations give rise to a change in porosity and permeability, which results in non-linearity of the mathematical problem. Assuming that the deformations are very small, the model provided by Biot’s theory of linear poroelasticity is used to determine the local displacement of the skeleton of a porous medium, as well as the fluid flow through the pores. In this continuum scale model, the Kozeny–Carman equation is commonly used to determine the permeability of the porous medium from the porosity. The Kozeny–Carman relation states that flow through the pores is possible at a certain location as long as the porosity is larger than zero at this location in the aquifer. However, from network models it is known that percolation thresholds exist, indicating that the permeability will be equal to zero if the porosity becomes smaller than these thresholds. In this paper, the relationship between permeability and porosity is investigated. A new permeability-porosity relation, based on the percolation theory, is derived and compared with the Kozeny–Carman relation. The strongest feature of the new approach is related to its capability to give a good description of the permeability in case of low porosities. However, with this network-inspired approach small values of the permeability are more likely to occur. Since we show that the solution of Biot’s model converges to the solution of a saddle point problem for small time steps and low permeability, we need stabilisation in the finite element approximation.","PeriodicalId":44012,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics in Industry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2020-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138512894","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}
