The ILGM further explores the topological characteristics of neighbouring nodes, incorporating path and quantity data from adjacent nodes.

This negative effect of the resource has been empirically examined within various ecological systems. It plays a crucial role in driving transitions towards consumer extinction through multistability. Specifically, we show that the negative effect results in the bistability between two steady-state solutions for smaller values of the positive impact of resource on the consumer, whereas higher positive impact facilitates the coexistence of oscillatory behaviour and steady-state solution. We show that the presence of the predator’s negative efficiency facilitates abrupt transitions to distinct dynamical states in both forward and backward traces. We also show that the preferred state of the finite steady state for the persistence of both consumer and resource populations can be achieved for intermediate ranges of consumer’s positive and negative efficiency rates, carrying capacity and mortality rate of the consumer. We find that a large consumer’s negative efficiency rate always drives the system to the extinction of the consumer. We have derived analytical stability conditions for transcritical, Hopf and saddle-node bifurcations by a linear stability analysis, which agrees with the simulation results depicted in the two-parameter phase diagrams.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":743,"journal":{"name":"Pramana","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142963181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Stability analysis of an eco-epidemic predator–prey model with Holling type-I and type-III functional responses","authors":"Li Zou,&nbsp;Zhengdi Zhang,&nbsp;Miao Peng","doi":"10.1007/s12043-024-02877-1","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s12043-024-02877-1","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>A predator–prey model with Holling type-I and type-III functional responses, where the disease spreads between the prey, is considered in this paper. In consideration of the ecological balance, a harvest term is added to the predator. The positivity and boundedness of the solutions are discussed. Then, the conditions of the equilibrium points are analysed. According to the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, the local stability of equilibrium points can be analysed. For the disease-free equilibrium point, harvest rate <i>h</i> is selected as the bifurcation parameter. For the positive equilibrium point of the system, we choose infection rate <i>b</i> as the bifurcation parameter. By calculating and analysing the corresponding characteristic equations, the existence of Hopf bifurcation at equilibrium points is investigated. On the basis of high-dimensional bifurcation theory, we can obtain formulas which can decide the direction, period and stability of Hopf bifurcation of the system. To substantiate the theory, time history, bifurcation diagram and phase diagrams at different equilibrium points are drawn. In a disease-free environment, it may occur that the predator will prey on the prey in large numbers and eventually leads to the death of the prey. According to the numerical results, it can be seen that proper harvesting of predators is conducive to the stable development of the population. In a diseased ecology, when the infection rate experiences <span>(b^{*})</span>, the stability of the system changes and the prey population can adapt to such changes better. It helps to eliminate some old and weak species to reduce the consumption of resources.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":743,"journal":{"name":"Pramana","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142963183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A precise analytical expression for the velocity has been successfully derived by employing the technique of variable separation. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis has been conducted utilising intricate calculations and image evaluation to delve into the implications of Hartmann number (<i>Ha</i>), Reynolds number (<i>Re</i>), relaxation time, electrokinetic width and retardation time on the distribution of flow velocity. The findings indicate that as <i>Ha</i> rises, the flow velocity initially gains momentum, but subsequently exhibits a gradual decline. When <i>Re</i> is 0.5, the speed increases by about 29% and then decreases by about 61%. When <i>Re</i> is 4.5, the speed increases by about 20% and then decreases by about 42%. The increase in electrokinetic width and relaxation time results in an increase in speed. When <i>Ha</i> is 0.5, the velocity rises about 29% by the effect of the electrokinetic width and about 730% by the effect of the relaxation time. When <i>Ha</i> is 6, the velocity rises by about 71% by the effect of the electrokinetic width and the velocity rises by about 100% by the effect of the relaxation time. However, an increase in the retardation time and <i>Re</i> will result in a decrease in the flow rate. When <i>Ha</i> is 0.5, the velocity decreases by 83% under the effect of retardation time and 80% under the effect of <i>Re</i>. When <i>Ha</i> is 6, the velocity decreases by 40% under the effect of retardation time and 25% under the effect of <i>Re</i>. It should be emphasised that the velocity distribution of Jeffrey fluid is mainly concentrated near the channel wall, especially when <i>Ha</i> increases, resulting in the fluid velocity tending to be relatively slow. It is particularly interesting that when <i>Ha</i> reaches a high level, the fluid velocity is almost no longer affected by changes in <i>Re</i>. In order to validate the accuracy of this study, the resulting findings were cross-checked with previous findings and these comparisons support that the conclusions of this paper are plausible.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":743,"journal":{"name":"Pramana","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142912859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SNAs often arise in systems driven by quasiperiodic forces, where the system is subjected to multiple frequencies that are incommensurate. When we apply the quasiperiodic forces, we identify the presence of SNA regions in the MEMS oscillators through bifurcation and Lyapunov analysis. Subsequently, we analyse the route of SNA in the considered system. In our analysis, the first identified route to SNA is the fractilisation route which is validated through various analyses, such as Poincaré map, distribution of finite-time Lyapunov exponents, Lyapunov variance, singular continuous spectrum and recurrence analysis. Moreover, two additional routes to SNA, namely Haegy–Heamel route and intermittency route, are identified and thoroughly investigated, and the presence of SNA is confirmed using singular continuous spectrum analysis. This work helps to understand SNA that can be important in fields like signal processing, where distinguishing between chaotic and non-chaotic signals is crucial. In particular, the emergence and characterisation of SNAs in MEMS resonators open avenues for further research and applications in nonlinear dynamics and chaotic systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":743,"journal":{"name":"Pramana","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142889728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, response surface methodology is a statistical technique used to understand the association of parametric factors under consideration on the response which is the Nusselt number in the present context. The prime aim of this modelling is to give optimal conditions for producing the highest heat transfer rate to build an efficient model with the aid of sensitivity analysis. In addition, entropy propagated in the media is provided to enhance the importance of this investigation. Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 4–5th order technique has been used to obtain the numerical output. The analysis reveals that the first-order slip component has a negative effect on velocity distribution, whereas the second-order slip factor has the opposite effect. The Nusselt number decreases as the unsteadiness parameter reaches its maximum value and when the sheet is susceptible to intense radiation. Graphical representations of streamlines and isotherms are provided to illustrate the flow and heat distribution.
