Abstract By using a small discrete-time model we evaluate the impact of distortionary taxation on the government debt-to-GDP ratio. Once the standard model is modified accordingly, it appears that the increase of taxation has a growth cost which increases as long as die debt-to-GDP ratio rises. The empirical implementation uses data drawn from recent Italy’s record and is based on realistic shocks to the relevant parameters. A major finding is the importance of the debt level - not only of the dynamics - to stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio. A second finding is that sustainable tax rates are remarkably lower than those prevailing in Italy since the 80s.

We propose and analyze a discrete time model for metapopulation on two patches with local logistic dynamics. The model carries a delay in the dispersion terms, and our results on this model show that the impact of the dispersion on the global dynamics of the metapopulation is complicated and interesting: it can affect the existence of a positive equilibrium; it can either drive the metapopulation to global extinction, or prevent the metapopulation from going to global extinction and stabilize a positive equilibrium; it can also destabilize a positive equilibrium or a periodic orbit.

In this paper, we consider a new discrete-time model that describes the spread of information by sharing in some kind of online environments such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter. The impact of sharing on the information amount is investigated, which is incorporated in the considered model as a supplement compartment. We consider the possible interactions between individuals and information on the Internet, such as posts, images, and videos. The theory of control is used to show the effectiveness of our optimal control strategy in reducing the information amount and sharers and then decreases the dissemination of false information that can lead to annoying situations and unstable state in the society. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate several scenarios before and after the use of our strategy of control. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis of the information amount on parameters is simulated and discussed.

We examine the effect of excited neutrinos on the annihilation of relic neutrinos with ultrahigh energy cosmic neutrinos for theνν¯→γγprocess. The contributions of the excited neutrinos to the neutrino-photon decoupling temperature are calculated. We see that photon-neutrino decoupling temperature can be significantly reduced below the obtained value of the Standard Model with the impact of excited neutrinos.
