To explore the feedback mechanism between the dynamics of epidemic progression and social media, an SIR-M model incorporating the hierarchical impact of media-induced awareness is established, characterizing the distinct levels of behavioral response based on the perception of potential risks within the population. The analysis and application of the proposed model are conducted extensively and comprehensively. The findings demonstrate that under specific parametric conditions, the decay rate of media coverage can destabilize the endemic equilibrium and induce a Hopf bifurcation. This phenomenon is further confirmed by both one- and two-parameter bifurcation diagrams. Using particle swarm optimization algorithm for parameter estimation, we show that the proposed model effectively captures the temporal trends of both COVID-19 case data and related media coverage, revealing the hierarchical nature of protection awareness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"243 ","pages":"Pages 307-326"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145685315","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}

To solve the complementary multi-objective optimization problem with narrow and disconnected feasible regions, dual-population two-archive evolutionary framework for constrained multi-objective optimization with constrained-archive solution phase-transition and auxiliary-population environment selection pause-termination (CAE_2SP) is proposed. The algorithm uses dual-population with different efficacy and two archives with different functions. To improve the problem of lower population diversity, constrained-archive solution phase-transition strategy is proposed. In this strategy, the diversity of solutions is emphasized in the early generation, so the non-dominated infeasible solutions generated by the evolution of main population are stored in the archive. In the late generation, the feasibility of solutions is taken into account, hence, constrained archive is transformed into storing non-dominated feasible solutions. In addition, this paper puts forward auxiliary-population environment selection pause-termination strategy. In this strategy, auxiliary population stop updating in the late generation and uses the optimal population information in the early generation to guide the evolution, to reduce the consumption of computing resources in the late generation and provide more computing resources for main population to help it search for potential feasible regions. The experimental results of nine comparison algorithms in three benchmark function suites demonstrate that CAE_2SP has superior performance in solving CMOPs compared with others. To validate the applicability of the proposed algorithm in solving practical problems, six real-world problems are employed for testing. The experimental results demonstrate that CAE_2SP exhibits competitive performance in addressing practical issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"243 ","pages":"Pages 196-220"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145618556","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 present research introduces a novel data-driven mathematical model of chemovirotherapy that comprehensively incorporates the immune response. This thorough consideration of the immune system enables a comparative analysis of chemovirotherapy with immunotherapy, specifically CD8⁺T cells, CD4⁺T cells, and IL-2 cytokine therapies. By estimating a Michaelis-Menten constant from empirical therapy data for virotherapy, the computational efficiency of the dynamical system is enhanced while maintaining high accuracy in capturing virotherapy dynamics. Parameters are estimated using the Unscented Kalman Filter based on data from human melanoma cell lines. A stability analysis investigates parameter-dependent equilibrium shifts of the model, revealing that treatments such as chemotherapy destabilize the system at any dosage, which may inform treatment scenarios. Numerical simulations conducted on the model demonstrate that the combination of chemotherapy and virotherapy yields superior outcomes, particularly in cases of high tumor burden and weakened immune systems. This study presents a comprehensive framework for comparing immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and virotherapy, thereby advancing cancer therapeutic modeling and facilitating the optimization of comparative treatment strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"243 ","pages":"Pages 283-306"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145685416","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}

Based on the Rayleigh–Duffing system with external excitation, a modified non-smooth dynamical system is developed by introducing a periodic term that represents discontinuous external influences, such as wave-induced forces in ship rolling dynamics. Various non-smooth bifurcation phenomena are systematically investigated, including non-smooth homoclinic bifurcation, C-bifurcation, persistence bifurcation, and non-smooth fold bifurcation. Five different oscillation modes are demonstrated through numerical simulations, and their mechanisms are revealed in combination with the slow–fast analysis. It is found that the non-smooth homoclinic bifurcation significantly alters the oscillation process and induces transitions between stable states. The C-bifurcation has less effect on the oscillation mode even though it changes the topology of limit cycles. Different types of boundary equilibrium bifurcations lead to substantial changes in the stability and structure of compound relaxation oscillations. In addition, two types of coexisting attractors are identified through the basin of attraction, indicating multistability that gives rise to different oscillation modes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"243 ","pages":"Pages 82-94"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145618555","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}

We propose a hybrid SEISRD-SI model that combines integer-order and fractional-order dynamics with the Caputo derivative. It also includes compartments for severe dengue and dengue-induced mortality to better represent how the disease spreads and what happens as a result.

A comprehensive bifurcation analysis reveals that the system exhibits rich dynamical behaviors, including Transcritical, Saddle–node, and Hopf bifurcations, which delineate thresholds between disease extinction, persistence, and oscillatory states. An optimal control framework is subsequently formulated to derive effective intervention strategies. The core methodological contribution is the development of a hybrid deep neural network (DNN) architecture, utilizing Tanh and ReLU activations, to serve as a high-fidelity surrogate for the model’s complex dynamics.
