Qualitative analysis of a mathematical model for capillary formation is presented under assumptions that enzyme and fibronectin concentrations are in quasi-steady state. The aim of this paper is to prove mathematically that the long-time tendency of endothelial cells will be towards the transition probability density function of enzyme and fibronectin. Endothelial cell steady-state solution is obtained and a numerical simulation is provided to show that there is a close agreement between the steady-state solution obtained analytically and the numerically calculated steady-state of the related initial value problem, which provides strong evidence for the stability of this steady-state.

We present a mathematical model for capillary formation in tumor angiogenesis and solve it by linearizing it using an initial data perturbation method. This method is highly effective to obtain solutions of nonlinear coupled differential equations. We also provide a specific example resulting, that even a few terms of the obtained series solutions are enough to have an idea for the endothelial cell movement in a capillary. MATLAB-generated figures are provided, and the stability criteria are determined for the steady-state solution of the cell equation.

AbstractThe stability of the flow between concentric, rotating cylinders is discussed when the gap is small and the cylinders are rotating in the same direction for a class of anisotropic fluids in which the fluid has a preferred direction. An important conclusion of the analysis is that a steady-state solution of the equations has previously been considered unstable on false grounds.

In a one-dimensional domain, the stability of localized spike patterns is analysed for two closely related singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion (RD) systems with Brusselator kinetics. For the first system, where there is no influx of the inhibitor on the domain boundary, asymptotic analysis is used to derive a non-local eigenvalue problem (NLEP), whose spectrum determines the linear stability of a multi-spike steady-state solution. Similar to previous NLEP stability analyses of spike patterns for other RD systems, such as the Gierer–Meinhardt and Gray–Scott models, a multi-spike steady-state solution can become unstable to either a competition or an oscillatory instability depending on the parameter regime. An explicit result for the threshold value for the initiation of a competition instability, which triggers the annihilation of spikes in a multi-spike pattern, is derived. Alternatively, in the parameter regime when a Hopf bifurcation occurs, it is shown from a numerical study of the NLEP that an asynchronous, rather than synchronous, oscillatory instability of the spike amplitudes can be the dominant instability. The existence of robust asynchronous temporal oscillations of the spike amplitudes has not been predicted from NLEP stability studies of other RD systems. For the second system, where there is an influx of inhibitor from the domain boundaries, an NLEP stability analysis of a quasi-steady-state two-spike pattern reveals the possibility of dynamic bifurcations leading to either a competition or an oscillatory instability of the spike amplitudes depending on the parameter regime. It is shown that the novel asynchronous oscillatory instability mode can again be the dominant instability. For both Brusselator systems, the detailed stability results from NLEP theory are confirmed by rather extensive numerical computations of the full partial differential equations system.

The steady-state response of a one-degree-of-freedom double bilinear hysteretic model is investigated and it is shown that this model gives rise to the jump phenomenon which is associated with certain nonlinear systems. The stability of the steady-state solution is discussed and it is shown that the model predicts an unbounded resonance for finite excitation.

AbstractThe stability of the repairable system with three units and vacation was investigated by two different methods in this note. The repairable system is described by a set of ordinary differential equation coupled with partial differential equations with initial values and integral boundaries. To apply the theory of positive operator semigroups to discuss the repairable system, the system equations were transformed into an abstract Cauchy problem on some Banach lattice. The system equations have a unique non-negative dynamic solution and positive steady-state solution and dynamic solution strongly converges to steady-state solution were shown on the basis of the detailed spectral analysis of the system operator. Furthermore, the Cesáro mean ergodicity of the semigroupT(t) generated by the system operator was also shown through the irreducibility of the semigroup.

Abstract In the case of quantum systems interacting with multiple environments, the time-evolution of the reduced density matrix is described by the Liouvillian. For a variety of physical observables, the long-time limit or steady state solution is needed for the computation of desired physical observables. For inverse design or optimal control of such systems, the common approaches are based on brute-force search strategies. Here, we present a novel methodology, based on automatic differentiation, capable of differentiating the steady state solution with respect to any parameter of the Liouvillian. Our approach has a low memory cost, and is agnostic to the exact algorithm for computing the steady state. We illustrate the advantage of this method by inverse designing the parameters of a quantum heat transfer device that maximizes the heat current and the rectification coefficient. Additionally, we optimize the parameters of various Lindblad operators used in the simulation of energy transfer under natural incoherent light. We also present a sensitivity analysis of the steady state for energy transfer under natural incoherent light as a function of the incoherent- light pumping rate.

In this paper, we investigate the stability and Hopf bifurcation of an n-dimensional competitive Lotka–Volterra diffusion system with time delay and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We first show that there exists a positive nonconstant steady state solution satisfying the given asymptotic expressions and establish the stability of the positive nonconstant steady state solution. Regarding the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, we explore the system that undergoes a Hopf bifurcation near the positive nonconstant steady state solution and derive a calculation method for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation. Finally, we cite the stability of a three-dimensional competitive Lotka–Volterra diffusion system with time delay to illustrate our conclusions.

A two-dimensional, rigid, rectangular, open tank without baffles is forced to oscillate harmonically with small amplitudes of sway or roll oscillation in the vicinity of the lowest natural frequency for the fluid inside the tank. The breadth of the tank is 0(1) and the depth of the fluid is either 0(1) or in-finite. The excitation is 0(ε) and the response is 0(ε1/3). A nonlinear, inviscid boundary-value problem of potential flow is formulated and the steady-state solution is found as a power series in ε1/3 correctly to 0(ε). Comparison between theory and experiment shows reasonable agreement. The stability of the steady-state solution has been studied.
