The equations were proposed in the so-called symmetrical form. A variety of set-valued stochastic differential equations that extend well-known single-valued models in financial mathematics are presented. The misconception that the solution of a single-valued equation, starting from a point within the initial value of the set-valued equation, will always remain within the solution of the set-valued equation (i.e., it is a selection) is refuted. Then, the symmetric set-valued differential equation in general form is studied. It is assumed that the coefficients of equation satisfy a very general condition, including that of the Lipschitz type, with a function that appears with a certain integral inequality. The result obtained is that there is a unique solution to the equation considered. It is also shown that the solution is stable with respect to small changes in the equation data.

Remote regions with limited healthcare resources are significant contributors to malaria cases worldwide. In the present study, we propose a deterministic compartmental model to explore the dynamics of malaria transmission in the presence of Wolbachia. The nonlinear recovery rate is incorporated to elucidate the impact of available public healthcare resources. The analytical result of the model exhibits the existence of multiple malaria-present endemic equilibria. We observe the coexistence of a malaria-present endemic equilibria with a stable malaria-free equilibria. Sensitivity analysis is performed to explore the relative importance of different parameters. Additionally, the phenomenon of backward bifurcation exists in the proposed model. Numerical simulation validates the analytical results of the model and confirms the existence of backward bifurcation. We demonstrate the inhibition of malaria transmission with the release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in the region with limited availability of public health resources. The simulation suggests the possible increment in the availability of the healthcare system to ensure malaria-free equilibria. We validate the model by fitting it to the reported human infection data from Niterói, Brazil, using 16 months of data collected before and after the release of Wolbachia. These findings will be helpful to healthcare professionals in planning the control strategy of malaria in remote or hard-to-reach locations in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49745,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Analysis-Real World Applications","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104325"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143180039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
