Currently, models for XY plotter cutters specific to industrial and arts and crafts applications are not publicly available. This paper mathematically models the XY motion control for a commercial plotter cutter. In this particular application, the Y motion is controlled by media feed and the X motion is controlled by a gantry arm. A dynamic, electromechanical model consisting of a governing system of differential equations for the gantry arm is developed and simulated using Matlab. Once the model is developed, it will be used to decrease development time and optimize performance parameters.

In this work, the model of development of the P2P file exchange network organized by a torrent tracker is considered. The model is constructed on the basis of ordinary differential equations. The phase variables describing a status of a torrent tracker and the network organized by it (in first approximation is the number of the users of the tracker who are actively participate in information exchange, and the number of active torrents) are defined, the factors influencing the change of users number and the number of torrents are analyzed. On the basis of the analysis the system of differential equations, in first approximation describing evolution of the file exchange network organized by the torrent tracker — a hard dynamic model of evolution of the torrent tracker is written. Equilibrium points of hard model of evolution of the tracker are investigated, their possible quantity and type is described. All configurations of the general provision, possible in a hard model of evolution of the torrent tracker are described. The phase portrait of the hard model is represented. On the basis of the analysis of the hard model the system of differential equations describing evolution of a file exchange network with accounting of dependence of new users inflow intensity on a total quantity of potential audience of the torrent tracker, and also dependences of speed of torrents extinction on the number of users falling on one torrent — a soft dynamic model of evolution of a torrent tracker is written. Equilibrium points of a soft model of tracker evolution are investigated, their possible quantity and type is described. All configurations of the general provision, possible in a soft model of evolution of the torrent tracker are described. Phase portraits of each configuration are represented. The ratio of parameters necessary for the stability of the tracker a stable status is received. The influence of different administrative measures on a stock of the tracker stability in whole is analyzed. The need of support of torrents by administration at highly specialized torrent trackers with small potential audience is shown.

Subject. The article addresses the digitalization of the dynamic model of inter industry balance. Objectives. We focus on developing our own statistical research base for input-output analysis, structural forecasting, sustainability, economic dynamics and economic growth. Mathematically, the study is formalized by the Cauchy problem for ordinary differential equations. Methods. The methodology components include theoretical and practical bases of the systems, statistical, input-output, and structural dynamic analysis. Results. Based on official statistics, we solved the problem of digitalization of the dynamic model of input-output balance, written in the form of a system of differential equations. For the first time, this model was transferred from a set of purely theoretical structures to a class of computable models. We developed a sequence of coordinated actions and calculations, which serve as a methodology for the said transfer. We also devised and presented the elements of our own statistical research base. Conclusions. The quantitative measurement of the dynamic inter-industry model in the form of a system of differential equations opens up broad perspectives on the sustainability of macroeconomics, its structural readiness for expanded reproduction, i.e. economic growth. The model can be used both independently and in combination with equilibrium and other agent-oriented models.

The study is focused on a structure represented by a multimass elastic cantilever rod with dry friction seismic isolation elements in the support part under a horizontal random impact of a seismic type. The paper aims at investigating the seismic reaction and selecting optimal parameters of the seismic isolation system involving random impact characteristics, limit parameters of the structure, and the seismic isolation system. The researches are based on dynamic computations; the impacts and fluctuations of the system are random processes. The dynamic model of the structure with the considered seismic isolation is presented in the form of a cantilever rod with concentrated masses; a system of differential equations describing the displacement of the structure with the seismic-isolating sliding elements at the level of the top of the foundations is compiled; and a seismic impact is modeled in the form of a nonstationary random process. An algorithm is developed to integrate the system of differential equations of motion and to determine the statistical characteristics of the seismic reaction and reliability indicators of the structures with the seismic isolation. A method aimed at evaluating effectiveness of the seismic isolation system and selecting its rational parameters is suggested. We developed the computational dynamic model of the structure with the seismic-isolating sliding elements installed at the top level of the foundations, and elastic and rigid limiters for the movement of the sliding supports. This model is made in the form of a multimass cantilever rod that takes into account the relative movements of the masses and the stops of the system on the movement limiters. The structure’s movement under a seismic impact is described by a system of differential equations that takes into account the conditions of transitions of the structure from the state of sticking to the state of sliding and vice versa. The statistical characteristics of the seismic reaction and the reliability indicators of the structure in the process of vibrations are determined for different values of the maximum acceleration of the ground vibration, the prevailing period of impact, the number of masses in the calculated model and the coefficient of friction-sliding of the support elements. The influence of the impact parameters and the system on the efficiency of the seismic isolation of the structures with sliding elements is estimated. The proposed approach to selecting the optimal parameters of the seismic isolation system can be used as a research method aimed at improving efficiency of systems with different design options for seismic isolation of structures.

AbstractWe develop a dynamic model of a COVID-19 epidemic as a system of differential equations. The model incorporates an asymptomatic infectious stage and a symptomatic infectious stage. We apply the model to the current COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil. We compare the model output to current epidemic data, and project forward in time possible end-stages of the epidemic in Brazil. The model emphasizes the importance of reducing asymptomatic infections in controlling the epidemic.

This paper uses a system of differential equations to describe the insurgency in Iraq. The system has four possible outcomes or cases: (1) The U.S.-led coalition increases in size and the number of attacks by the insurgents increases. (2) The size of the U.S.-led coalition decreases and the number of attacks by insurgents decreases. (3) The size of the U.S.-led coalition increases and the number of insurgent attacks decreases. (4) The size of the U.S.-led coalition decreases and the number of insurgent attacks increases. Which case is relevant depends on the recruitment rates of the U.S.-led coalition and insurgents as well as the combat effectiveness of both sides. Policy implications are provided.

Under given prestress conditions, solitary waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes are confined to a rather narrow set of combinations of the background fluid velocity and the wave speed. This set, which we call the domain of existence, is bounded by several curves that represent various physical and mathematical restrictions. Remarkably, these restrictions can be cast as purely algebraic conditions to be imposed upon the governing system of differential equations. Paramount among the physical restrictions are the avoidance of wrinkles and the self-impenetrability of the wave profile. In particular, the existence of a critical wave speed of impending wrinkling, independent of the background fluid velocity, is established rigorously.

We have considered a stationary outflowing envelope accelerated by the radiative force in arbitrary optical depth case. Introduced approximations provide satisfactory description of the behavior of the matter flux with partially separated radiation at arbitrary optical depths. The obtained systemof differential equations provides a continuous transition of the solution between optically thin and optically thick regions. We analytically derivedapproximate representation of the solution at the vicinity of the sonic point. Using this representation we numerically integrate the system of equations from the critical point to the infinity. Matching the boundary conditions we obtain solutions describing the problem system of differential equations. The theoretical approach advanced in this work could be useful for self-consistent simulations of massive star evolution with mass loss.
