Abstract We develop and analyse a mathematical model of tumour–immune interaction that explicitly incorporates heterogeneity in tumour cell cycle duration by using a distributed delay differential equation. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for local stability of the cancer-free equilibrium in which the amount of tumour–immune interaction completely characterizes disease progression. Consistent with the immunoediting hypothesis, we show that decreasing tumour–immune interaction leads to tumour expansion. Finally, by simulating the mathematical model, we show that the strength of tumour–immune interaction determines the long-term success or failure of viral therapy.

AbstractWe develop and analyse a mathematical model of tumour-immune interaction that explicitly incorporates heterogeneity in tumour cell cycle duration by using a distributed delay differential equation. Our necessary and sufficient conditions for local stability of the cancer free equilibrium completely characterise the importance of tumour-immune interaction in disease progression. Consistent with the immunoediting hypothesis, we show that decreasing tumour-immune interaction leads to tumour expansion. Finally, we show that immune involvement is crucial in determining the long-term response to viral therapy.

In this paper we study the oscillatory behavior of the even order nonlinear delay differential equation(1)where(i) denotes the order of differentiation with respect to t. The delay terms τi σi are assumed to be real-valued, continuous, non-negative, non-decreasing and bounded by a common constant M on the half line (t0, + ∞ ) for some t0 ≧ 0.

AbstractConsider the delay differential equationwhere α(t) and β(t) are positive, periodic, and continuous functions with period w > 0, and m is a nonnegative integer. We show that this equation has a positive periodic solution x*(t) with period w. We also establish a necessary and sufficient condition for every solution of the equation to oscillate about x*(t) and a sufficient condition for x*(t) to be a global attractor of all solutions of the equation.

Differential Transformation Method (DTM) is a very effective tool for solving linear and non-linear ordinary differential equations. This paper uses DTM to solve the mathematical model for the dynamics of Dengue fever in a population. The graphical profiles for human population are obtained using Maple software. The solution profiles give the long term behavior of Dengue fever model which shows that treatment plays a vital role in reducing the disease burden in a population.

Combined cargo transportation in Ukraine is characterized by the presence of uncertain risks. The aim of the article was to propose a mathematical model for choosing the mode of transportation that would correspond to the best value of the integral objective function in the presence of fuzzy, stochastic and uncertain risk parameters. The efficiency of the mathematical model provided the possibility of forming not only long-term forecasts that require significant time, but also short-term forecasts in real time. This allows to quickly change routes and conditions of transportation. Practical testing of the mathematical model revealed the assimilating nature of some uncertain risks. The results of the analysis are given in the article. The realization of such a risk leads to a radical change in all conditions of transportation. Long-term forecasts allow to predict new routes and conditions of transportation.

Mathematical modeling is increasingly used to improve our understanding of colorectal cancer. In the first part of this chapter, the authors give a review of systems biology approaches to investigate colorectal cancer. In the second part, the mathematical model proposed by Johnston et al. (2007) is expanded to include time delays and analysed for its stability. For both models, the original and the extended version, the authors obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for stability. This is confirmed by numerical simulations. Thus, some new mathematical and biological results are obtained.
