At first, the existence and uniqueness of the new system is proved utilizing Picard’s operator and Banach fixed-point theorem. Next, the influence of simultaneous changing system parameter and fractional orders on the stability of the incommensurate system is discussed, and the degree of influence of each fractional order is visually compared and analyzed. In addition, it is also indicated that parameter changes can cause the static bifurcation. Subsequently, the sufficient conditions and an analytical expression for the critical value of Hopf bifurcation caused by system parameter in the incommensurate fractional-order ecological system are provided for the first time, and the bifurcation diagrams are utilized to verify the result. Furthermore, by observing the bifurcation diagram of incommensurate and corresponding commensurate system, it can be deduced that changes in the fractional orders of incommensurate system can cause Hopf bifurcation to be postponed or advanced. Then, the chaotic behaviors of commensurate and incommensurate system are explored by utilizing multiple numerical indicators. It is worth noting that there exists a path from quasi-periodic motion to chaos in the system. Finally, the chaotic domain is proposed to investigate the influence of fractional orders and parameter on chaotic behaviors in the incommensurate fractional-order system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"236 ","pages":"Pages 248-269"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864956","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 nonlocal dispersion operator is used to capture the long-range mobility of the susceptible, which can diffuse freely through the studied domain. The random diffusion is employed to account for the limitations imposed on the movement of the infected, which are allowed to disperse locally in the neighborhood of the original point. We also assume that the studied space is heterogeneous, which means that all parameters are assumed to be space-dependent. This poses significant challenges to the stability analysis for the steady states as well as the discussion on the existence of endemic steady states, and studying the asymptotic profiles of endemic steady states. The analysis is conducted in terms of the basic reproduction number, which serves as a threshold parameter. We also investigate the asymptotic profiles of endemic steady states when dispersal rates tend to zero or infinity. The findings have implications for disease modeling and control due to insights into the effects of different mechanisms of mobility on epidemic dynamics and provide useful information on the efficiency of mobility control in containing the epidemic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"236 ","pages":"Pages 90-110"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143833595","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}

This work investigates an inventory problem for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with advertisement and displayed inventory level dependent demand under price break facility. Moreover, partially backlogged shortages and transportation cost for replenishing items are considered in the proposed inventory model. Based on the customer’s demand and storage space of the shop, several cases and sub-cases are considered. In this study, different metaheuristic algorithms are considered for maximizing the average profit in each scenario. Then, considering one numerical example, the proposed model is justified.

Turing instability conditions are derived for cross-diffusion and stability analysis of the amplitude equations is computed to identify the type of the Turing pattern. Analytical conclusions are validated through numerical simulations. As the Allee effect increases, it affects the spatial and temporal dynamics of the prey population. Turing pattern changes from spots to stripes, indicating a large dispersion and a variety of predator interactions, which reduces confinement to secure small areas.
