Current models are limited in scalability, perform significantly worse across populations, and have limited biological interpretability. Some hurdles of deep learning include overfitting and poor integration in the genomic context. A hybrid framework, centered on higher-order Markov chains with fuzzy logic, is proposed to represent uncertain mutation states and to capture probabilistic dependencies for modeling temporal mutations. Statistical, alignment, structural, and dynamic analyses of 100 mutated hemoglobin beta sequences are performed using Clustal Omega, entropy measures, a hidden Markov model, and co-occurrence networks. Higher-order probabilistic Markov modeling with fuzzy automata performs superiorly in all evaluations. In splice prediction, Area Under Curve (AUC) scores of 0.67 (3′) and 0.82 (5′) are achieved, which outperformed existing models. High alignment quality (similarity percentage 0.98, column score 0.029, total consistency 700) with low run time (0.42 s) is achieved using Clustal Omega. The proposed method achieved an accuracy of 98.7%, which outperformed standard tools. Moderate variability and conservation are demonstrated by entropy (0.42) and Hamming distance (11.2). Thus, proving that the proposed model offers a highly accurate, interpretable, and scalable solution for predictive genomics of gene mutations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"141 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147829688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Based on the classical Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN), a Mix-Training PINN (MTPINN) approach is formulated, where the training set incorporates both initial and boundary data simultaneously for more robust imposition of physical constraints. To better handle convection-dominated problems characterized by strong traveling fronts, an improved MTPINN-PLUS approach is also formulated through automatic sampling of new training data in regions of high gradients. Numerical experiments, in the form of convergence curves, maps of the error distribution in physical space and detailed comparisons of wave fronts at enlarged scales, thus confirm the better stability and accuracy of the proposed MTPINN and MTPINN-PLUS approaches as compared to the classical PINN approach. Specifically, the new approaches give substantially smaller values of the relative <span>(L_2)</span> error and resolve more accurately the localized phenomena, especially in the vicinity of steep gradients. The proposed approach offers an efficient surrogate modeling tool for reaction–diffusion–convection processes with relevance to population dynamics, ecological invasion modeling and pattern formation, supporting sustainable development goals related to health, resilience and innovation. More concretely, the relative <span>(L_2)</span> error is decreased from the order of <span>(10^{-2})</span> to <span>(10^{-4})</span> for MTPINN, and further reduced to <span>(10^{-5})</span> for MTPINN-PLUS. Moreover, the mean absolute error (MAE) is also reduced.

In this context, the novelty of the present study lies in investigating the convective instability of a bi-viscous Bingham fluid flowing through a horizontal porous channel with vertical throughflow, subject to convective thermal boundary conditions at both walls. After introducing appropriate non-dimensional scales, infinitesimal disturbances are superimposed on the basic steady-state flow, and linear stability analysis is performed to examine the resulting stability characteristics of the system. The corresponding eigenvalue problem associated with the neutral stability condition is numerically solved using the <i>bvp4c</i> solver in MATLAB. The results show that system stability increases monotonically as stronger external heating is applied at the bottom wall, irrespective of whether the external heating at the top wall increases or decreases. The system remains stable only when the heating at the bottom wall is dominated by stronger external heating at the top wall; otherwise, instability occurs. Furthermore, the study examines the onset of convection under two limiting boundary conditions: one boundary prescribed with a heat flux and the other maintained at an isothermal state. Finally, it is found that the onset of convection occurs earlier as the bi-viscous Bingham parameter increases for all considered boundary conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"141 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147829431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}
