Abstract This work investigates the dynamics by which the bombardier beetle releases a pulsed jet of fluid as a defense mechanism. A mathematical model is proposed which takes the form of a pair of piece wise continuous differential equations with dependent variables as fluid pressure and quantity of reactant. The model is shown to exhibit an effective equilibrium point (EEP). Conditions for the existence, classification and stability of an EEP are derived and these are applied to the model of the bombardier beetle.

The Mathematical Model

The article determines that at the present stage of the project management development in information-oriented society, the decision-making process on the efficiency of the knowledge management system assessment is complicated, due to the lack of approaches that determine the impact of the system on the project implementation. The article presents the main results of the analysis of the current state of the problem of modeling the knowledge management system of high-tech projects, which helped to establish that one of the factors of the introduction of an effective system of knowledge preservation is the ability to assess the impact of the system on the project environment.In order to solve the problem, the mathematical model of nonlinear dynamics for the analysis of the influence of knowledge management system on the project based on the Bulirsch–Stoer method was proposed, it is possible to evaluate the influence of elements of the knowledge management system on the projected stages of the project implementation and to calculate the duration of the project taking into account their influence. The mathematical model of nonlinear dynamics for the analysis of the influence of the knowledge management system on the Bulirsch–Stoer method is given to evaluate the influence of elements of the knowledge management system on the projected implementation stages and to calculate the duration of the project, taking into account their impact. Bulirsch–Stoer algorithm is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations which combines three powerful ideas: Richardson extrapolation, the use of rational function extrapolation in Richardson-type applications, and the modified midpoint method, to obtain numerical solutions to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with high accuracy and comparatively little computational effort. The step-by-step tracking of the knowledge management system impact on the project development will allow the project manager to predict both its successful completion and the risks of deviation from the scheduled time due to the loss of critical knowledge, which largely stems from the successful implementation of the project.Further research will be aimed at developing a model that allows us to assess the profitability of the system in the design environment, based on the results of the proposed mathematical model.

Good Agreement

A mathematical model for predictions of the performance of spray cooling ponds is presented. In contrast to previous methods, the present model requires neither empirical information from field measurements nor an adaptation of model constants. The airflow is described by partial differential equations for the vorticity and the stream function. Turbulence is taken into account by a modified version of the k-ε model. Temperature and humidity of air are obtained by solving appropriate transport differential equations. The equation system is solved by means of a finite difference method. The utilized numerical algorithm has been proved to be reasonably accurate. Predicted distributions for the dependent variables are presented for a circular spray cooling pond and the case of zero wind velocity. Results for the thermal performance of this pond are in good agreement with observations.

The Mathematical Model

Here a system of two non-linear difference-differential equations, which is mathematical model of self-regulation of the sugar level in blood, is investigated. The analysis carried out by qualitative and numerical methods allows us to conclude that the mathematical model explains the functioning of the physiological system "insulin-blood sugar" in both normal and pathological cases, i.e. diabetes mellitus and hyperinsulinism.

Doubly Stochastic

This paper is concerned with a type of time-symmetric stochastic system, namely the so-called forward–backward doubly stochastic differential equations (FBDSDEs), in which the forward equations are delayed doubly stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and the backward equations are anticipated backward doubly SDEs. Under some monotonicity assumptions, the existence and uniqueness of measurable solutions to FBDSDEs are obtained. The future development of many processes depends on both their current state and historical state, and these processes can usually be represented by stochastic differential systems with time delay. Therefore, a class of nonzero sum differential game for doubly stochastic systems with time delay is studied in this paper. A necessary condition for the open-loop Nash equilibrium point of the Pontriagin-type maximum principle are established, and a sufficient condition for the Nash equilibrium point is obtained. Furthermore, the above results are applied to the study of nonzero sum differential games for linear quadratic backward doubly stochastic systems with delay. Based on the solution of FBDSDEs, an explicit expression of Nash equilibrium points for such game problems is established.

Spherical Bubbles

We consider the problem of the propagation of high-intensity acoustic waves in a bubble layer consisting of spherical bubbles of identical size with a uniform distribution. The mathematical model is a coupled system of partial differential equations for the acoustic pressure and the instantaneous radius of the bubbles consisting of the wave equation coupled with the Rayleigh–Plesset equation. We perform an analytic analysis based on the study of Lie symmetries for this system of equations, concentrating our attention on the traveling wave case. We then consider mappings of the resulting reductions onto equations defining elliptic functions, and special cases thereof, for example, solvable in terms of hyperbolic functions. In this way, we construct exact solutions of the system of partial differential equations under consideration. We believe this to be the first analytic study of this particular mathematical model.

In this paper, we establish a dynamic model of the hyper-chaotic finance system which is composed of four sub-blocks: production, money, stock and labor force. We use four first-order differential equations to describe the time variations of four state variables which are the interest rate, the investment demand, the price exponent and the average profit margin. The hyper-chaotic finance system has simplified the system of four dimensional autonomous differential equations. According to four dimensional differential equations, numerical simulations are carried out to find the nonlinear dynamics characteristic of the system. From numerical simulation, we obtain the three dimensional phase portraits that show the nonlinear response of the hyper-chaotic finance system. From the results of numerical simulation, it is found that there exist periodic motions and chaotic motions under specific conditions. In addition, it is observed that the parameter of the saving has significant influence on the nonlinear dynamical behavior of the four dimensional autonomous hyper-chaotic system.

SynopsisIn this paper, we prove that for a system of ordinary differential equations of class Cr+1,1, r≧0 and two arbitrary Cr+1, 1 local centre manifolds of a given equilibrium point, the equations when restricted to the centre manifolds are Cr conjugate. The same result is proved for similinear parabolic equations. The method is based on the geometric theory of invariant foliations for centre-stable and centre-unstable manifolds.

The article presents the theoretical and methodological principles for forecasting and mathematical modeling of possible risks in technological and biotechnological systems. The authors investigated in details the possible approach to the calculation of the goal function and its parameters. Considerable attention is paid to substantiating the correctness of boundary value problems and Cauchy problems. In mechanics, engineering, and biology, Cauchy problems and boundary value problems of differential equations are used to model physical processes. It is important that differential equations have a single physically sound solution. The authors of this article investigate the specific features of boundary value problems and Cauchy problems with boundary conditions in a two-point medium, and determine the conditions for the correctness of such problems in the spaces of power growth functions. The theory of pseudo-differential operators in the space of generalized functions was used to prove the correctness of boundary value problems. The application of the obtained results will make it possible to guarantee the correctness of mathematical models built in conditions of uncertainty and possible risks. As an example of a computational mathematical model that describes the state of the studied object of non-standard shape, the authors considered the boundary value problem of the system of differential equations of thermal conductivity for the embryo under the action of a laser beam. For such a boundary value problem, it is impossible to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the system of differential equations. To be sure of the existence of a single solution, it is necessary either not to take into account the three-layer structure of the microbiological object, or to determine the conditions for the correctness of the boundary value problem. Applying the results obtained by the authors, the correctness of the boundary value problem of systems of differential equations of thermal conductivity for the embryo is proved taking into account the three-layer structure of the microbiological object. This makes it possible to increase the accuracy and speed of its implementation on the computer. Key words: forecasting, risk, correctness, boundary value problems, conditions of uncertainty
