It helps researchers understand the interactions between water availability and plant growth, which are crucial for analyzing ecological dynamics and predicting changes in vegetation due to environmental factors. However, there has been limited research on the memory effect associated with the water-plant model. This paper investigates a fractional-order water-plant model with cross-diffusion, in which the fractional order signifies the memory effect. First, we examine the conditions for the equilibrium point in a spatially homogeneous model, followed by an analysis of the model’s linear stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation. Subsequently, we analyze the stability of spatiotemporal models incorporating cross-diffusion, along with the presence of Turing bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, and Turing–Hopf bifurcation. Finally, we present several numerical simulations to validate the theoretical results.

Experimental research indicates that increased tick activity may elevate brucellosis transmission risk although the quantitative impact of ticks remains insufficiently explored. To investigate the seasonal transmission mechanisms of Brucella, identify the key factors, and assess ticks’ potential role, a multi-population non-autonomous periodic dynamical model is developed. The global dynamics of the model such as extinction, uniform persistence, disease-free periodic solution, and endemic periodic solution are well explored in terms of the basic reproduction number. Theoretical and numerical analyses demonstrate that, while tick control helps mitigate transmission risks, it is insufficient to eliminate periodic transmission. Effective control of brucellosis requires a comprehensive approach, especially culling infected sheep and improving vaccination coverage to curb the overall rising trend. Additionally, adjusting sheep reproductive schedules within the sheep’s life cycle, such as delaying the peak time of birth and advancing the peak time of abortion, is crucial for managing seasonal transmission. Numerical simulations of the optimal control strategies reveal that adjusting interventions based on seasonal fluctuations in infections balances the cost and effectiveness while highlighting the importance of effective tick control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"234 ","pages":"Pages 299-324"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143628609","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}

The process of solving basic reproduction number of SEAIQR model is simplified through the theory of complex networks. It is proven that the global stability of the two equilibrium points is obtained by the construction of Lyapunov functions.

First, a finite-time approach, coupled with an extended state observer, is employed to estimate system model uncertainties and stochastic disturbances, achieving fast finite-time uniformly ultimately bounded stability of observation errors. Second, the nonlinear state–space model is converted into a port-controlled Hamiltonian system with disturbances. Energy shaping and damping injection methods are then applied to transform the port-controlled Hamiltonian model into the desired closed-loop system. Subsequently, the cascade characteristics of the electro-hydraulic servo system are leveraged to establish virtual inputs, facilitating the development of a dual closed-loop interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based controller. The inner-loop controller utilizes spool displacement as an input to mitigate the effects of external disturbances and enhance single-loop control performance, thereby increasing robustness against model uncertainties and external disturbances. Finally, numerical simulations validate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed control strategy in the context of trajectory tracking control for the electro-hydraulic servo system.
