Periodic solutions to nonautonomous difference equations

A technique is presented for determining when periodic solutions to nonautonomous periodic difference equations exist. Under certain constraints, stable periodic solutions can be guaranteed to exist, and this is used to compare the analogous behavior of a nonautonomous periodic hyperbolic difference equation to that of the nonautonomous periodic Pearl-Verhulst logistic differential equation.

Formulas for intrinsic noise evaluation in oscillatory genetic networks

The linear noise approximation is a useful method for stochastic noise evaluations in genetic regulatory networks, where the covariance equation described as a Lyapunov equation plays a central role. We discuss the linear noise approximation method for evaluations of an intrinsic noise in autonomously oscillatory genetic networks; in such oscillatory networks, the covariance equation becomes a periodic differential equation that provides generally an unbounded covariance matrix, so that the standard method of noise evaluation based on the covariance matrix cannot be adopted directly. In this paper, we develop a new method of noise evaluation in oscillatory genetic networks; first, we investigate structural properties, e.g., orbital stability and periodicity, of the solutions to the covariance equation given as a periodic Lyapunov differential equation by using the Floquet-Lyapunov theory, and propose a global measure for evaluating stochastic amplitude fluctuations on the periodic trajectory; we also derive an evaluation formula for the period fluctuation. Finally, we apply our method to a model of circadian oscillations based on negative auto-regulation of gene expression, and show validity of our method by comparing the evaluation results with stochastic simulations.     

An analysis of a dendritic neuron model with an active membrane site

We formulate and analyze a mathematical model that couples an idealized dendrite to an active boundary site to investigate the nonlinear interaction between these passive and active membrane patches. The active site is represented mathematically as a nonlinear boundary condition to a passive cable equation in the form of a space-clamped FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) equation. We perform a bifurcation analysis for both steady and periodic perturbation at the active site. We first investigate the uncoupled space-clamped FHN equation alone and find that for periodic perturbation a transition from phase locked (periodic) to phase pulling (quasiperiodic) solutions exist. For the model coupling a passive cable with a FHN active site at the boundary, we show for steady perturbation that the interval for repetitive firing is a subset of the interval for the space-clamped case and shrinks to zero for strong coupling. The firing rate at the active site decreases as the coupling strength increases. For periodic perturbation we show that the transition from phase locked to phase pulling solutions is also dependent on the coupling strength.This work was supported in part by NSF Grants MCS 83-00562 and MDS 85-01535     

Dynamic reduction with applications to mathematical biology and other areas

In a difference or differential equation one is usually interested in finding solutions having certain properties, either intrinsic properties (e.g. bounded, periodic, almost periodic) or extrinsic properties (e.g. stable, asymptotically stable, globally asymptotically stable). In certain instances it may happen that the dependence of these equations on the state variable is such that one may (1) alter that dependency by replacing part of the state variable by a function from a class having some of the above properties and (2) solve the 'reduced' equation for a solution having the remaining properties and lying in the same class. This then sets up a mapping Τ of the class into itself, thus reducing the original problem to one of finding a fixed point of the mapping. The procedure is applied to obtain a globally asymptotically stable periodic solution for a system of difference equations modeling the interaction of wild and genetically altered mosquitoes in an environment yielding periodic parameters. It is also shown that certain coupled periodic systems of difference equations may be completely decoupled so that the mapping Τ is established by solving a set of scalar equations. Periodic difference equations of extended Ricker type and also rational difference equations with a finite number of delays are also considered by reducing them to equations without delays but with a larger period. Conditions are given guaranteeing the existence and global asymptotic stability of periodic solutions.     

Forced vibrations of a circular muscle ring

We consider the small radial displacement of a circular ring of cardiac muscle subjected to periodic forcing. The ring in question is that in the middle layer, at the transverse midsection, of the left ventricle. We show that the ring reacts in a periodic manner when forced in a periodic manner. This is accomplished by writing the differential equation for the ring and solving it for two cases-one for constant and one for variable ring thickness.

Global behavior of solutions of a periodically forced Sigmoid Beverton-Holt model

Our aim in this paper is to investigate the boundedness, the extreme stability, and the periodicity of positive solutions of the periodically forced Sigmoid Beverton-Holt model: [Formula: see text] where {a ( n )} is a positive periodic sequence with period p and δ>0. In the special case when δ=1, the above equation reduces to the well-known periodic Pielou logistic equation which is known to be equivalent to the periodically forced Beverton-Holt model.     

The Beverton–Holt q-difference equation

The Beverton–Holt model is a classical population model which has been considered in the literature for the discrete-time case. Its continuous-time analogue is the well-known logistic model. In this paper, we consider a quantum calculus analogue of the Beverton–Holt equation. We use a recently introduced concept of periodic functions in quantum calculus in order to study the existence of periodic solutions of the Beverton–Holt q-difference equation. Moreover, we present proofs of quantum calculus versions of two so-called Cushing–Henson conjectures.     

Bionomics dynamic model of a class of competition systems ☆

Differential equation problem is an important research topic in the international academia. In accordance with certain ecological phenomena, previous research was conducted based on simple observational and statistical data. But this approach does not effectively study the essence of the ecological phenomena. Recently, one dynamic approach has been proposed for the study of ecology in the international academia. According to this approach, first of all, the ecology is reduced to the differential equation model which represents the essential phenomenon, and then the dynamic law and rules of mathematics and biology will be studied. Currently, an extensive research is conducted on the differential equation problem. This paper primarily explores a type of competitive ecological model, which is a system of differential equation with infinite integral. we first study the existence of positive periodic solution to this model, and then present sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of positive periodic solutions.

Almost periodic solution of non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra predator-prey dispersal system with delays

This paper studies a non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra almost periodic predator-prey dispersal system with discrete and continuous time delays which consists of n-patches, the prey species can disperse among n-patches, but the predator species is confined to one patch and cannot disperse. By using comparison theorem and delay differential equation basic theory, we prove the system is uniformly persistent under some appropriate conditions. Further, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functional, we show that the system is globally asymptotically stable under some appropriate conditions. By using almost periodic functional hull theory, we show that the almost periodic system has a unique globally asymptotical stable strictly positive almost periodic solution. The conditions for the permanence, global stability of system and the existence, uniqueness of positive almost periodic solution depend on delays, so, time delays are "profitless". Finally, conclusions and two particular cases are given. These results are basically an extension of the known results for non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra systems.     

An interfacial approach to regional segregation of two competing species mediated by a predator

We consider the problem of coexistence of two competing species mediated by the presence of a predator. We employ a reaction-diffusion model equation with Lotka-Volterra interaction, and speculate that the possibility of coexistence is,enhanced by differences in the diffusion rates of the prey and their predator. In the limit where the diffusion rate of the prey tends to zero, a new equation is derived and the dynamics of spatial segregation is discussed by means of the interfacial dynamics approach. Also, we show that spatial segregation permits periodic and chaotic dynamics for certain parameter ranges.     

Random effects in population models with hereditary effects

This paper discusses the influence of environmental noise on the dynamics of single species population models with hereditary effects. A detailed analysis is carried out for the logistic equation with discrete delay in the resource limitation term (Hutchinson's equation). When the system undergoes Hopf bifurcation, we find the stationary probability density distribution for the amplitude of the periodic solution by means of an averaged Fokker-Planck equation. Finally, we estimate the persistence time of the species when the population density has a lower bound beyond which it goes extinct.     

Parameter-dependent transitions and the optimal control of dynamical diseases

Many theoretical studies in biological and physical sciences consider the dynamical behavior of ann-dimensional ordinary differential equation that contains a large number of independent parameters. A frequently asked question is, are there permissible parameter sets that result in periodic or chaotic behavior? The large number of distinct parameters often limits the feasibility of trial and error calculations. The large dimension and nonlinearity of the system make application of analytic methods at best difficult and at worst effectively impossible. It is shown here that a computational search for parameter-dependent transitions of attractor topology can be effected by constrained optimization of quantitative measures of dynamical behavior (Hurwitz polynomials, Floquet coefficients, Lyapunov exponents and correlation dimension). As an example, we examine a three-dimensional nonlinear ordinary differential equation containing seven parameters that was constructed by Goldbeter and Segel to model periodic synthesis of cyclic AMP inDictyostelium. A search for bifurcations to periodic solutions is made by minimizing Hurwitz coefficients subject to parameter constraints. By comparing four optimization algorithms, the defects and advantages of the procedure are identified. It is also argued that it may be possible to use this characterization of dynamics to construct optimal responses to dynamical diseases (those disorders that result from parameter-dependent bifurcations in physiological control systems).
