A main contribution of this study is we treat the physiological transport parameter (i.e., hydraulic resistivity) as anisotropic and heterogeneous, thus the governing system is strongly coupled and non-linear. We derived a weak formulation and then formulated the equivalent fixed-point problem. This enabled us to use the Galerkin method, and the classical results on monotone operators combined with the well-known Schauder and Banach fixed-point theorems to prove the existence and uniqueness of results.","PeriodicalId":51046,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The production periods are burst-like and stochastic due to the discrete nature of biochemical reactions. In certain contexts, the concentrations of RNA or protein require regulation to maintain a fine internal balance within the cell. Here we consider a motif of two types of RNA molecules – mRNA and an antagonistic microRNA – which are encoded by a shared coding sequence and form a feed forward loop (FFL). This control mechanism is shown to be perfectly adapting in the deterministic context. We demonstrate that the adaptation (of the mean value) becomes imperfect if production occurs in random bursts. The FFL nevertheless outperforms the benchmark feedback loop in terms of counterbalancing variations in the signal. Methodologically, we adapt a hybrid stochastic model, which has widely been used to model a single regulatory molecule, to the current case of a motif involving two species; the use of the Laplace transform thereby circumvents the problem of moment closure that arises owing to the mRNA–microRNA interaction. We expect that the approach can be applicable to other systems with nonlinear kinetics.</p>","PeriodicalId":51046,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141168459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hebbian network of Kuramoto oscillators with second-order coupling provides a dynamical model for this task, and the mutual orthogonality in memorised patterns enables us to distinguish these memorised patterns from most others in terms of stability. For the sake of error-free retrieval for general problems lacking orthogonality, a unified approach was proposed which transforms the problem into a series of subproblems with orthogonality using the orthogonal lift for two patterns. In this work, we propose the least orthogonal lift for three patterns, which evidently reduces the time of solving subproblems and even the dimensions of subproblems. Furthermore, we provide an estimate for the critical strength for stability/instability of binary patterns, which is convenient in practical use. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":51046,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140970801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
