Estimating their distribution is now analogous to estimating a spatially varying coefficient in a standard deterministic parabolic system. The estimation problems are approximated by a sequence of finite dimensional problems.

The thrust of this work involves the analysis and simulation of the associated mathematical model using classical differential equation techniques. Besides proving existence and uniqueness of the solution to the related system, analytical expressions for the associated traveling wave solutions for the governing nonlinear differential equation is also derived for a special class of problems that is biologically tractable.","PeriodicalId":92887,"journal":{"name":"Communications in applied analysis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45305723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, it has been noticed that some difficulties can arise when Liapunov’s method is applied to certain equations, and that a suitable fixed point theorem can overcome some of these difficulties. In this paper we study a particular stability which differs from the Liapunov stability. In particular, we study the existence of asymptotically stable solutions of a system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations. We employ a fixed point theorem due to Krasnosel’skii in the analysis.

A new approach was suggested in [11], where a nonlinear delay feedback control (DFC) scheme with apparently optimal gain was introduced. The optimality criteria in [11] were stated in terms of the size of the convergence region for the system multipliers. In numerical simulations it turns out that the optimal coefficients (in the above sense) produce slowly convergent recurrences. In this paper we suggest a generalization of the formulas from [11] to improve the rate of convergence while preserving stability. The subtlety of the problem is illustrated in numerous numerical simulations examples.
