The comparison shows a significant improvement in the synchronization time, indicating faster convergence under the same circumstances. In addition, higher performance is achieved by the new method in secure communication applications, especially encrypted image transmission and recovery. Simulations show unambiguous improvement in image recovery quality even under channel interference and parameter uncertainties, i.e., the scheme’s efficiency and reliability.

To describe the dynamics of the model, we show that there is a positively invariant region, where the trajectories are bounded, and that the origin is a hyperbolic repeller. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and explicit characterization of up to two coexistence equilibria. One equilibrium is always a hyperbolic saddle, whereas the other may act as an attractor, a repeller, or a weak focus. The system can experience bifurcations, including transcritical and Hopf bifurcations, which have an impact on the model’s dynamics. Our system crucially depends on the growth rate of prey, i.e. whether the system showcases extinction to coexistence to cyclic dynamics. The system always shows the stable coexistence for lower strength of hunting cooperation and the stable cyclic dynamics for higher strength of hunting cooperation. The bistability appears in the system for certain ranges of prey’s growth rate and for hunting cooperation levels as well. Moreover, time delays in the fear response of prey and cooperative hunting are also taken into consideration to examine a more realistic scenario. Our findings demonstrate that both time delays stabilize the system initially by eliminating limit cycle oscillations; for larger time delay magnitudes, stability switching, and chaotic behaviors are seen. The results imply that comprehending the effects of cooperative hunting and prey’s fear reaction may be essential for the predator-prey system. Finally, the analytical results are demonstrated to be supported by numerical simulations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55505,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Mathematics","volume":"71 4","pages":"511 - 538"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148965405","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 quantum algorithm significantly outperforms the best classical methods for solving well-conditioned linear systems of equations. However, well-conditioning is a stringent requirement that severely limits the range of problems benefiting from exponential speed-up. In this paper, we introduce a regularization method that combines the HHL quantum algorithm with the Levenberg-Marquardt method to mitigate ill-conditioning and enable exponential speed-up. Specifically, the Levenberg-Marquardt method acts as a regularization method, transforming an ill-conditioned linear system of equations into a sequence of well-conditioned linear systems of equations. The HHL quantum algorithm is then applied to solve these systems efficiently. This approach effectively addresses the ill-conditioning issue while preserving the exponential speed-up advantage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55505,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Mathematics","volume":"71 5","pages":"651 - 671"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149219438","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 viability and development of the competent oocyte mainly depends on the adequate supply of molecular oxygen from the microenvironmental tissues. For the analysis of oxygen transport from the external environment, different concentric biological layers of the oocyte have been considered, such as the follicular fluid, cumulus cell mass, zona pellucida, and oocyte membrane. Steady-state diffusion of oxygen within the oocyte, which is considered a spherical cell, is assumed for modelling. The governing equation consists of steady-state mass diffusion of oxygen with a nonlinear consumption term. Using the Maclaurin series approach, an analytical model of the oxygen concentration at different locations around the oocyte is obtained, assuming that the surrounding fluid is maintained at a constant oxygen concentration. The proposed mathematical model predicts steep radial oxygen gradients and the possible formation of hypoxia at the centre of the oocyte. Furthermore, the proposed model is validated with the available physiological observations reported in the literature and a good agreement between theoretical predictions with the data is observed. These findings may have important implications for assisted reproductive technologies such as IVM and also might enhance the oocyte maturation outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55505,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Mathematics","volume":"71 4","pages":"575 - 599"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148965454","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}
