AbstractA stochastic model is developed for the expected number of prey taken by a single predator when prey depletion is apparent. The so-called “random predator equation” with prey exploitation of Royama and Rogers is compared with the stochastic model. The numerical comparisons illustrate situations where the deterministic model provides adequate and inadequate approximations.

AbstractIn this paper we develop a stochastic mathematical model of cholera disease dynamics by considering direct contact transmission pathway. The model considers four compartments, namely susceptible humans, infectious humans, treated humans, and recovered humans. Firstly, we develop a deterministic mathematical model of cholera. Since the deterministic model does not consider the randomness process or environmental factors, we converted it to a stochastic model. Then, for both types of models, the qualitative behaviors, such as the invariant region, the existence of a positive invariant solution, the two equilibrium points (disease-free and endemic equilibrium), and their stabilities (local as well as global stability) of the model are studied. Moreover, the basic reproduction numbers are obtained for both models and compared. From the comparison, we obtained that the basic reproduction number of the stochastic model is much smaller than that of the deterministic one, which means that the stochastic approach is more realistic. Finally, we performed sensitivity analysis and numerical simulations. The numerical simulation results show that reducing contact rate, improving treatment rate, and environmental sanitation are the most crucial activities to eradicate cholera disease from the community.

The distribution of the number of alleles in samples from r chromosomes is studied. The stochastic model used includes gene conversion within chromosomes and mutation at loci on the chromosomes. A method is described for simulating the distribution of alleles and an algorithm given for computing lower bounds for the mean number of alleles. A formula is derived for the expected number of samples from r chromosomes which contain the allele type of a locus chosen at random.

AbstractWe treat a delayed SIR (susceptible, infected, recovered) epidemic model with a saturated incidence rate and its perturbation through the contact rate using a white noise. We start with a deterministic model and then add a perturbation on the contact rate using a white noise to obtain a stochastic model. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution for both deterministic and stochastic delayed differential equations. Under suitable conditions on the parameters, we study the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium of the deterministic model and the almost sure stability of the disease-free equilibrium of the stochastic model.

This paper proposes a new theoretical stochastic model based on an abstraction of the opportunistic model for opportunistic networks. The model is capable of systematically computing the network parameters, such as the number of possible routes, the probability of successful transmission, the expected number of broadcast transmissions, and the expected number of receptions. The usual theoretical stochastic model explored in the methodologies available in the literature is based on Markov chains, and the main novelty of this paper is the employment of a percolation stochastic model, whose main benefit is to obtain the network parameters directly. Additionally, the proposed approach is capable to deal with values of probability specified by bounded intervals or by a density function. The model is validated via Monte Carlo simulations, and a computational toolbox (R-packet) is provided to make the reproduction of the results presented in the paper easier. The technique is illustrated through a numerical example where the proposed model is applied to compute the energy consumption when transmitting a packet via an opportunistic network.

We present a fault detection method called the gray-box. The term “gray-box” refers to the approach wherein a deterministic model of system, i.e., “white box,” is used to filter the data and generate a residual, while a stochastic model, i.e., “black-box” is used to describe the residual. The residual is described by a three-tier stochastic model. An auto-regressive process, and a time-delay feed-forward neural network describe the linear and nonlinear components of the residual, respectively. The last component, the noise, is characterized by its moments. Faults are detected by monitoring the parameters of the auto-regressive model, the weights of the neural network, and the moments of noise. This method is demonstrated on a simulated system of a gas turbine with time delay feedback actuator.

A dynamic deterministic model of urban growth is proposed, which in its most simple form yields Zipf's law for city-size distribution, and in its general form may account for distributions that deviate strongly from Zipf's law. The qualitative consequences of the model are examined, and a corresponding stochastic model is introduced, which permits, in particular, the study of zero-growth situations.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of irregular unsettling on the smoking model in form of the stochastic model as in the deterministic model these effects are neglected for simplicity. Design/methodology/approach In this research, the authors investigate a stochastic smoking system in which the contact rate is perturbed by Lévy noise to control the trend of smoking. First, present the formulation of the stochastic model and study the dynamics of the deterministic model. Then the global positive solution of the stochastic system is discussed. Further, extinction and the persistence of the proposed system are presented on the base of the reproductive number. Findings The authors discuss the dynamics of the deterministic smoking model form and further present the existence and uniqueness of non-negative global solutions for the stochastic system. Some previous study’s mentioned in the Introduction can be improved with the help of obtaining results, graphically present in this manuscript. In this regard, the authors present the sufficient conditions for the extinction of smoking for reproductive number is less than 1. Research limitations/implications In this work, the authors investigated the dynamic stochastic smoking model with non-Gaussian noise. The authors discussed the dynamics of the deterministic smoking model form and further showed for the stochastic system the existence and uniqueness of the non-negative global solution. Some previous study’s mentioned in the Introduction can be improved with the help of obtained results, clearly shown graphically in this manuscript. In this regard, the authors presented the sufficient conditions for the extinction of smoking, if <1, which can help in the control of smoking. Motivated from this research soon, the authors will extent the results to propose new mathematical models for the smoking epidemic in the form of fractional stochastic modeling. Especially, will investigate the effective strategies for control smoking throughout the world. Originality/value This study is helpful in the control of smoking throughout the world.

Suppose that n persons each know a different piece of information, and that, whenever a pair of them talk on the telephone, each tells the other all the information he knows at that time. If the calls are made at random, we show that the expected number of calls required for everyone to know all n pieces of information is asymptotically 1.5 n log n + O(n). This sharpens an earlier result of D. W. Boyd and J. M. Steele. Some numerical comparisons are given.

It has been shown that for many epidemic models, the stochastic theory leads to essentially the same results as the deterministic theory provided that one identifies mean values with the functions calculated from the deterministic differential equations (cf. [1]). If one considers a generalization of Bailey's simple epidemic for a fixed population of size N, represented schematically by where I refers to an infected, S refers to a susceptible, and α and β are appropriate rate constants, then it is evident that at time t = ∞, the expected number of infected individuals must be zero provided that β &gt; 0. If x(t) denotes the number of infected at time t, then the deterministic model is summarized by

There are now many examples in various fields where the behaviour of ‘particles' as exhibited by their transition from one state to another is described by a multidimensional stochastic process. The linear migration model in which particles move independently of one another through a number of states has been dealt with by Bartlett (1949). This process has been used by Siegert (1949) in considering the approach to equilibrium of non-interacting gas molecules and by Krieger and Gans (1960) and Gans (1960) to examine the distribution of a multicomponent system disturbed from its equilibrium distribution and relaxing by first-order processes to another equilibrium. The correspondence between the deterministic model based on the principle of mass action and the stochastic model has been discussed by Darvey and Staff (1966) in the context of unimolecular multicomponent chemical reactions.
