Abstract

The narrowing of retinal blood vessels, especially in conditions involving branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO), can cause gradual and painless vision deterioration. Such vascular obstruction is also a contributing factor to eye stroke. This study investigates the influence of three asymmetric stenosis geometries, namely Bell--Cosine, Cosine--Overlapping, and Bell--Overlapping, on fluid flow characterized as Newtonian, incompressible, and steady. The mathematical formulation is derived from the Navier--Stokes equations, discretized using the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and solved through the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm. Numerical simulations are performed in MATLAB with variations in stenosis length. The results demonstrate how different geometric shapes and stenosis lengths affect blood flow rate and pressure distribution. Among all configurations, the Bell--Cosine geometry consistently produces a flow rate above the normal threshold and a pressure level below the normal range for each stenosis length ($40\,\mu\text{m}$, $50\,\mu\text{m}$, $60\,\mu\text{m}$, $70\,\mu\text{m}$), compared with the other geometries. For every geometric arrangement, stenosis length plays a role in altering the flow behavior and pressure field around the constriction, while the peak velocity and peak pressure remain essentially unchanged.

Abstract

We conducted a dynamic analysis of an ecological model that describes the relationship between prey and predator detritivores. Assuming that predators require more food to survive, we applied the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response to examine local stability while taking the fear effect into account. The dynamics of the local stability properties of the equilibrium point ware examined. The two population extinction points, the prey population extinction point, and all population survival were the three points that we were able to determine. The analytical computations were supported by numerical simulations. Some numerical simulations are organized to show the impact of fear effects on prey, additional food on predator and predation using Beddington-DeAngelis on the dynamical behaviors of the model. The first numerical continuation of additional food parameters in the system solution indicated the presence of a Hopf bifurcation at $A = 0.625978$. The greater the supply of additional food, the extinction of the prey that the transcitical bifurcation was found at $A = 8.694143$. The bifurcation indicated that the change remains stable, becoming unstable at the interior equilibrium point and the other system solution. The Hopf bifurcation was also found at $f= 0.081119$ according to the second numerical continuation of the fear effect parameters, and $\beta=1.023308$. In addition, the appearance is that the transcitical bifurcation was found at $f= 2.088891$ and $\beta=3.362426$. We have demonstrated numerically the occurrence of Hopf and transcritical bifurcation driven by those three biological parameters.

Abstract

The rapid transmission of COVID-19 is a vital threat to the health systems of various countries, and the need to receive the correct mathematical models to implement control measures. This paper provides a numerical analysis of an exposed compartment Caputo fractional-order SEIR model with an incubation period of SARS-CoV-2 variants. The model is nonlinear and difficult to solve analytically, so there are no precise solutions. Two methods Hermite Collocation Method (HCM) and Laplace-Adomian Decomposition Method (LADM) are used. The system is turned into nonlinear algebraic equations by HCM through Hermite polynomial expansions whereas LADM uses Laplace transforms and Adomian polys to deal with nonlinearities. Simulations of the Maple indicate that the two methods can effectively estimate the dynamics of the fractional SEIR, although HCM is more accurate and converges more quickly. Fractional-order formulation also includes the effects of memory in the transmission of the disease. This evidence proves that the application of fractional-order modeling with Hermite based numerical methods provides a strong platform through which the dynamics, especially the epidemiological ones, may be analyzed and the adaptive public health responses may be directed.

Abstract

The Bergman minimal model is commonly utilized to model glucose-insulin dynamics. However, the dimensional analysis of this model is somewhat limited. Dimensional analysis is an essential mathematical tool in fields such as engineering, physics, and applied sciences. Its main purposes include simplifying mathematical models, improving scalability and generalization, identifying key influencing factors, and enhancing computational efficiency. This study aimed to conduct a formal dimensional analysis of the Bergman minimal model, investigate the dimensionless model, simulate it, and investigate the dynamic of glucose-insulin to compare a normal and diabetic individual. The Bergman minimal model was transformed into a dimensionless format by reexpressing all state variables and parameters regarding their reference scales. The dimensionless model was solved and simulated using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) numerical method, implemented in MATLAB software, to generate the dynamics of glucose and insulin in individuals with normal and diabetic conditions. In the dimensionless formulation, the number of parameters is reduced from eight to five and five new composite parameters are revealed, such as glucose clearance rate, insulin sensitivity, the rate of insulin degradation, insulin release response and basal glucose level. Results reveal that glucose levels decrease efficiently in normal individuals, while diabetic patients experience a slow decline in glucose level, not normalize (not return to 1 dimensionless) after a meal. A simulation study for the case where no insulin production occurs in response to glucose reveals that the glucose level increases over time rather than decreases, with no sign of stabilization. Hence, without insulin, cells cannot take up glucose, leading to uncontrolled blood sugar accumulation. These findings underscore the role of dimensional analysis in streamlining the Bergman model; it simplified the governing equations, enabling the direct identification of key composite factors and resulting in a more computationally efficient simulation framework for characterizing glucose metabolic control.

Abstract

Sinusoidal waves are fundamental to the analysis and synthesis of signals in engineering, physics, and applied sciences. Their periodic nature and mathematical simplicity make them essential in modelling oscillations, communication signals, and even artificial intelligence systems where signal patterns matter. In this paper, we introduce a new class of sinusoidal Pythagorean fuzzy set. We define a sinusoidal Pythagorean fuzzy average aggregation operator and discuss its properties. This operator is then applied in decision-making problems using sinusoidal Pythagorean fuzzy CRITIC method, sinusoidal Pythagorean fuzzy MOORA method, and sinusoidal Pythagorean fuzzy TOPSIS method for optimal diabetic therapy selection under uncertain clinical judgements.

Abstract

This study presents a comparative evaluation of three approaches for forecasting a diabetes complications dynamical model: the classical fourth-order Runge–Kutta method (RK4), the multiplicative Runge–Kutta method (MRK4), and a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) trained as a surrogate predictor. RK4 and MRK4 are used to numerically simulate the model, while the MLP is trained on trajectories generated by MRK4. Performance is assessed using mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results highlight the advantages and limitations of each approach in capturing the model dynamics and provide guidance on when numerical solvers or learning-based surrogates may be preferable in diabetes modeling.

Abstract

Metastasis refers to the spread of a primary tumor to a different location through the invasion of nearby tissues or organs. This process is aided by the formation of invadopodia, a subcellular structure. Invadopodia are formed through a biological process that involves ligands, signals, receptors, actin, extracellular matrix (ECM), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In the literature, several studies of the invadopodia model have considered the ligand and signal in their mathematical model. However, for most of the work done, the diffusion rate of the ligands is not considered. Hence, this study aimed to explore the ligand diffusion rate to investigate the influence of the diffusion rate on the behavior of the invadopodia. Since invadopodia are formed as a result of the movement of the plasma membrane, the zero-level set method is applied to detect the movement. In addition, the invadopodia model is solved numerically using a finite difference coupled with the ghost fluid with a linear extrapolation approach for regular and neighboring points, respectively. In this research, different rates of ligand diffusion are applied, and the profiles of the ligand and interface (plasma membrane) are analyzed. The results show that the diffusion rate of the ligand can influence the availability of the invadopodia on the plasma membrane.

Abstract

Typhoid fever has been a significant burden even now in many poorer countries, mainly because of poor sanitation, contaminated water supplies, and the steady steady stream of asymptotic carriers who incessantly contaminate the environment. In this paper, we propose and analyze a compartmental model incorporating these aspects along with awareness-induced behavioral changes. The model has compartments for the susceptible population, the carriers, the infectious population who show symptoms, those who have recovered from the disease, a separate compartmenting the quantity of Salmonella Typhi in the environment. The infection spreads largely because of the intake of contaminated food and water. It adopts a nonlinear saturation incidence function describing the reduced possibility of infection with elevated contact rates. An awareness factor diminishes the probability of infection. It determines the basic reproduction number. It also demonstrates the disease-free equilibrium being globally stable. A locally stable endemic equilibrium has also been determined. A PRCC analysis has identified awareness, sanitation standards, the strength of infection transfer, and the bacterial shedding rates as the dominating parameters influencing the dynamics. Numerical examples validate the above theoretical studies. It has been observed that increased awareness along with improved sanitation practices substantially reduce the extent of the spread of the disease. Most importantly, the combined effects of behavioral modification along with enhanced sanitation practices have the potentially most profound effects on the reduction of the extent of the disease.

Abstract

In this research, we build a three-compartment delay differential equation (DDE) model to examine the intra host dynamics of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. The model includes a biologically based intracellular delay that represents the eclipse phase of infection and a non monotone saturation incidence function that shows how the immune system controls infection dynamics. The suggested formulation takes into account saturation effects that come from immune depletion and limited cellular resources. This is different from standard HBV models that assume bilinear or simple saturation incidence rates. The system is made up of healthy hepatocytes, contaminated hepatocytes, and immune cells that kill cells. The fundamental reproduction number ${{R}_{0}}$, is calculated and used to find the minimum level of infection that has to be present for it to continue. To study the local stability of the equilibria, we linearize the system and get the transcendental characteristic equation that goes with it. Hopf bifurcation study concerning the delay parameter $\tau $ indicates the presence of crucial delay values that distinguish stable steady states from oscillatory dynamics. Sensitivity analysis shows that parameters linked to transmission have the biggest effect on the fundamental reproduction number ${{R}_{0}}$, while characteristics related to delay mostly affect the system's stability and the appearance of oscillatory dynamics. Numerical simulations, encompassing time-series graphs and bifurcation diagrams, demonstrate that elevating the delay over a crucial threshold can trigger persistent oscillations in infected and immune cell populations, mirroring the recurring fluctuations seen in chronic HBV infection. These findings underscore the significant influence of intracellular delay and immune-regulated infection mechanisms on the long-term dynamics of HBV, offering a theoretical foundation for the advancement of HBV infection models.

Abstract

Rice production, an essential source of nutrition, is vital for food security and rural livelihoods. With a rapidly growing population and limited arable land, it increasingly depends on chemical fertilizers. Overuse of these fertilizers can threaten long-term sustainability. To address this issue, a field experiment was conducted using four distinct fertilizer management strategies. By fitting parameter values to the experimental data, a new nonlinear model has been proposed to analytically and numerically investigate the effects of chemical fertilizer use in rice cultivation. The analytical framework includes the examination of the existence, uniqueness, and stability of equilibrium points using the Jacobian matrix, along with sensitivity analysis to identify the parameters that most significantly influence system behavior. Results from both field experiments and simulations showed that a 40\% chemical fertilizer combined with 60\% organic fertilizer resulted in the highest soil nutrient content and rice yield. Organic inputs improve soil fertility through decomposition of plant residues, but excessive use can increase soil salinity, harming rice growth. Therefore, this study recommends that fertilizers should be applied in an efficient and balanced manner to maximize crop production while maintaining long-term soil fertility, and the developed model can serve as a practical and cost-effective tool for predicting field fertility, thereby reducing the need for conducting new field experiments.
