Uncertainty quantification analysis of the biological Gompertz model subject to random fluctuations in all its parameters
2020
[EN] In spite of its simple formulation via a nonlinear differential equation, the Gompertz model has been widely applied to describe the dynamics of biological and biophysical parts of complex systems (growth of living organisms, number of bacteria, volume of infected cells, etc.). Its parameters or coefficients and the initial condition represent biological quantities (usually, rates and number of individual/particles, respectively) whose nature is random rather than deterministic. In this paper, we present a complete uncertainty quantification analysis of the randomized Gomperz model via the computation of an explicit expression to the first probability density function of its solution s…
Global Non-monotonicity of Solutions to Nonlinear Second-Order Differential Equations
2018
We study behavior of solutions to two classes of nonlinear second-order differential equations with a damping term. Sufficient conditions for the first derivative of a solution x(t) to change sign at least once in a given interval (in a given infinite sequence of intervals) are provided. These conditions imply global non-monotone behavior of solutions.
Oscillation of second-order nonlinear differential equations with damping
2014
Abstract We study oscillatory properties of solutions to a class of nonlinear second-order differential equations with a nonlinear damping. New oscillation criteria extend those reported in [ROGOVCHENKO, Yu. V.—TUNCAY, F.: Oscillation criteria for second-order nonlinear differential equations with damping, Nonlinear Anal. 69 (2008), 208–221] and improve a number of related results.
Generalized differential transform method for nonlinear boundary value problem of fractional order
2015
Abstract In this paper the generalized differential transform method is applied to obtain an approximate solution of linear and nonlinear differential equation of fractional order with boundary conditions. Several numerical examples are considered and comparisons with the existing solution techniques are reported. Results show that the method is effective, easier to implement and very accurate when applied for the solution of fractional boundary values problems.
The forgotten mathematical legacy of Peano
2019
International audience; The formulations that Peano gave to many mathematical notions at the end of the 19th century were so perfect and modern that they have become standard today. A formal language of logic that he created, enabled him to perceive mathematics with great precision and depth. He described mathematics axiomatically basing the reasoning exclusively on logical and set-theoretical primitive terms and properties, which was revolutionary at that time. Yet, numerous Peano’s contributions remain either unremembered or underestimated.
Nonlinear Analysis of Phase-locked Loop-Based Circuits
2013
Main problems of simulation and mathematical modeling of high-frequency signals for analog Costas loop and for analog phase-locked loop (PLL) are considered. Two approachers which allow to solve these problems are considered. In the first approach, nonlinear models of classical PLL and classical Costas loop are considered. In the second approach, engineering solutions for this problems are described. Nonlinear differential equations are derived for both approaches.
Modeling of surface structure formation after laser irradiation
2011
The Stefan problem in a semi-infinite media under laser irradiation is considered. It is related to the melting and solidification processes, resulting in certain surface structure after the solidification. A simple model, as well as a more sophisticated one is proposed to describe this process. The latter model allows us to calculate the surface profile by solving a system of two nonlinear differential equations, if the shape of the solid-liquid interface is known. It has to be found as a solution of two-phases Stefan problem. The results of example calculations by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method are presented, assuming that the solid-liquid interface has a parabolic shape. The calcula…
A model of oil burnout from glass fabric
1997
A mathematical model is proposed for the process of the removal (by burning) of oil contained in a glass fibre insulation fabric manufactured in Latvia. The small aspect ratio of the fabric allows simplifications to the modelling which reduce the problem to a single nonlinear ordinary differential equation. When the effects of reflected radiation are also included, the differential equation is supplemented by two integral equations. Predictions of the position of the ‘burning zone’ accord well with observations made at the factory. The effect of the inclusion of extra heating chambers is also examined, and it is found that the temperature gradient in the fabric may be greatly decreased in t…
Asymptotics for third-order nonlinear differential equations: Non-oscillatory and oscillatory cases
2022
We discuss a third-order differential equation, involving a general form of nonlinearity. We obtain results describing how suitable coefficient functions determine the asymptotic and (non-)oscillatory behavior of solutions. We use comparison technique with first-order differential equations together with the Kusano–Naito’s and Philos’ approaches.
