Organisms inhabit streams, rivers, and estuaries where they are constantly subject to drift and overfishing. Consequently, these organisms often confront the risk of extinction. Can a reasonable fishing ban satisfy the human need for sufficient aquatic proteins without depleting fishery resources? We propose a reaction-diffusion-advection model to answer this question. The model consists of two subequations, which are constantly switched to describe closed seasons and open seasons with Michaelis–Menten type harvesting. We define a threshold value [math] for the duration of the fishing ban ([math]) and establish the relationships between [math] and each of the downstream end [math], the advection rate [math], and the diffusion rate [math]. Under certain conditions, the trivial equilibrium point 0 is globally asymptotically stable if [math]. When [math], we obtain sufficient conditions on the existence of a globally asymptotically stable periodic solution based on the thresholds in all parameter settings.

In recent years, algebraic tools have been proven useful in phylogenetic reconstruction and model selection through the study of phylogenetic invariants. However, up to now, the models studied from an algebraic viewpoint are either too general or too restrictive (as group-based models with a uniform stationary distribution) to be used in practice. In this paper we provide a new framework to study time-reversible models, which are the most widely used by biologists. In our approach we consider algebraic time-reversible models on phylogenetic trees (as defined by Allman and Rhodes) and introduce a new inner product to make all transition matrices of the process diagonalizable through the same orthogonal eigenbasis. This framework generalizes the Fourier transform widely used to work with group-based models and recovers some of the well-known results. As illustration, we combine our technique with algebraic geometry tools to provide relevant phylogenetic invariants for trees evolving under the Tamura–Nei model of nucleotide substitution.","PeriodicalId":51149,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219278","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}

For problems in the Calculus of Variations that exhibit the Lavrentiev phenomenon, it is known that a repulsion property may hold, that is, if one approximates the global minimizer in these problems by smooth functions, then the approximate energies will blow up. Thus, standard numerical schemes, like the finite element method, may fail when applied directly to these types of problems. In this paper we prove that a repulsion property holds for variational problems in three-dimensional elasticity that exhibit cavitation. In addition, we propose a numerical scheme that circumvents the repulsion property, which is an adaptation of the Modica and Mortola functional for phase transitions in liquids, in which the phase function is coupled, via the determinant of the deformation gradient, to the stored energy functional. We show that the corresponding approximations by this method satisfy the lower bound [math]–convergence property in the multidimensional, nonradial, case. The convergence to the actual cavitating minimizer is established for a spherical body, in the case of radial deformations.","PeriodicalId":51149,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219279","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}

We revisit the problem of nonlinear water wave propagation in the presence of an abrupt depth transition.

However, the discontinuity of bathymetry, as opposed to slowly varying bathymetry, requires the use of a consistent three-scale analysis framework and the consideration of different regions, far from the step and free surface, near the free surface, and near the step.

This article presents a numerical scheme for the variational model formulated by Calderer et al. [J.

It builds upon the scheme introduced by Song et al. [J. Elast., 153 (2023), pp. 651–679] for completely bonded gels, which fails to be robust in the case of gels that are already debonded. The new scheme is used to compute the energy release rate function, based on which predictions are offered for the threshold thickness below which the gel/substrate system is stable against debonding. This study, in turn, makes it possible to validate a theoretical estimate for the energy release rate obtained in the cited works, which is based on a thin-film asymptotic analysis and which, due to its explicit nature, is potentially valuable in medical device development.

This paper is devoted to the study of the global dynamics for a large class of reaction-diffusion systems with a time-varying domain. By appealing to the theories of asymptotically autonomous and periodic semiflows, we establish the threshold-type results on the long-time behavior of solutions for such a system in the cases of asymptotically bounded and periodic domains, respectively. To investigate the model system in the case of asymptotically unbounded domain, we first prove the global attractivity for nonautonomous reaction-diffusion systems with asymptotically vanishing diffusion coefficients via the method of sub- and supersolutions and then use the comparison arguments to obtain the threshold dynamics. We also apply these analytical results to a reaction-diffusion model of dengue fever transmission to investigate the effect of time-varying domain on the basic reproduction number. It turns out that the basic reproduction numbers with dengue fever transmission for the asymptotically bounded and unbounded domains are always less than that for the spatially homogeneous case, and under appropriate conditions, the basic reproduction numbers for asymptotically bounded and periodic domains are larger than or equal to that for the stationary bounded domain.","PeriodicalId":51149,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219288","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}

This work considers the optimization of electrode positions in head imaging by electrical impedance tomography. The study is motivated by maximizing the sensitivity of electrode measurements to conductivity changes when monitoring the condition of a stroke patient, which justifies adopting a linearized version of the complete electrode model as the forward model. The algorithm is based on finding a (locally) A-optimal measurement configuration via gradient descent with respect to the electrode positions. The efficient computation of the needed derivatives of the complete electrode model is one of the focal points. Two algorithms are introduced and numerically tested on a three-layer head model. The first one assumes a region of interest and a Gaussian prior for the conductivity in the brain, and it can be run offline, i.e., prior to taking any measurements. The second algorithm first computes a reconstruction of the conductivity anomaly caused by the stroke with an initial electrode configuration by combining lagged diffusivity iteration with sequential linearizations, which can be interpreted to produce an approximate Gaussian probability density for the conductivity perturbation. It then resorts to the first algorithm to find new, more informative positions for the available electrodes with the constructed density as the prior.","PeriodicalId":51149,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942528","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}
