文摘Based on theWorld Health Organization(WHO),Meningitis is a severe infection of the meninges,the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.It is a devastating disease and remains a significant public health challenge.This study investigates a bacterial meningitis model through deterministic and stochastic versions.Four-compartment population dynamics explain the concept,particularly the susceptible population,carrier,infected,and recovered.The model predicts the nonnegative equilibrium points and reproduction number,i.e.,the Meningitis-Free Equilibrium(MFE),and Meningitis-Existing Equilibrium(MEE).For the stochastic version of the existing deterministicmodel,the twomethodologies studied are transition probabilities and non-parametric perturbations.Also,positivity,boundedness,extinction,and disease persistence are studiedrigorouslywiththe helpofwell-known theorems.Standard and nonstandard techniques such as EulerMaruyama,stochastic Euler,stochastic Runge Kutta,and stochastic nonstandard finite difference in the sense of delay have been presented for computational analysis of the stochastic model.Unfortunately,standard methods fail to restore the biological properties of the model,so the stochastic nonstandard finite difference approximation is offered as an efficient,low-cost,and independent of time step size.In addition,the convergence,local,and global stability around the equilibria of the nonstandard computational method is studied by assuming the perturbation effect is zero.The simulations and comparison of the methods are presented to support the theoretical results and for the best visualization of results.

文摘This paper focuses on an optimal reinsurance and investment problem for an insurance corporation which holds the shares of an insurer and a reinsurer.Assume that the insurer can purchase reinsurance from the reinsurer,and that both the insurer and the reinsurer are allowed to invest in a risk-free asset and a risky asset which are governed by the Heston model and are distinct from one another.We aim to find the optimal reinsuranceinvestment strategy by maximizing the expected Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion(HARA)utility of the insurance corporation’s terminal wealth,which is the weighted sum of the insurer’s and the reinsurer’s terminal wealth.The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman(HJB)equation is first established.However,this equation is non-linear and is difficult to solve directly by any ordinary method found in the existing literature,because the structure of this HJB equation is more complex under HARA utility.In the present paper,the Legendre transform is applied to change this HJB equation into a linear dual one such that the explicit expressions of optimal investment-reinsurance strategies for-1≤ρi≤1 are obtained.We also discuss some special cases in a little bit more detail.Finally,numerical analyses are provided.

文摘This paper explores the intra-layer synchronization in duplex networks with different topologies within layers and different inner coupling patterns between,within,and across layers.Based on the Lyapunov stability method,we prove theoretically that the duplex network can achieve intra-layer synchronization under some appropriate conditions,and give the thresholds of coupling strength within layers for different types of inner coupling matrices across layers.Interestingly,for a certain class of coupling matrices across layers,it needs larger coupling strength within layers to ensure the intra-layer synchronization when the coupling strength across layers become larger,intuitively opposing the fact that the intra-layer synchronization is seemly independent of the coupling strength across layers.Finally,numerical simulations further verify the theoretical results.

文摘The mechanism of viscous heating of a Newtonian fluid filled inside a cavity under the effect of an external applied force on the top lid is evaluated numerically in this exploration.The investigation is carried out by assuming a two-dimensional laminar in-compressible fluid flow subject to Neumann boundary conditions throughout the numerical iterations in a transient analysis.All the walls of the square cavity are perfectly insulated and the top moving lid produces a constant finite heat flux even though the fluid flow attains the steady-state condition.The objective is to examine the effects of viscous heating in the fully insulated lid-driven cavity under no-slip and free-slip Neumann boundary conditions coupled with variations in Reynolds and Prandtl numbers.The partial differential equations of time-dependent vorticity-stream function and thermal energy are discretized and solved using a self-developed finite difference code in MATLAB®environment.Time dependence of fluid thermodynamics is envisaged through contour and image plots.A commercial simulation software,Ansys Fluent®utilizing a finite element code is employed to verify the finite difference results produced.Although the effect of viscous heating is very minimal,Neumann no-slip and free-slip boundary conditions are able to trap the heat inside the fully insulated cavity as the heat flux is constantly supplied at the top lid.A lower Reynolds number and a greater Prandtl number with free-slip effects reduce temperature distribution in the cavity with a faster velocity than in the no-slip condition as the free-slip behaves as a lubricant.
文摘For the successful operation of any industry or plant continuous availability of power supply is essential.Many of the large-scale plants established their power generation units.Marine power plant having two generators is also fall in this category.In this study,an effort is made to derive and optimize the availability of a marine power plant having two generators,one switch board and distribution switchboards.For this purpose,a mathematical model is proposed using Markov birth death process by considering exponentially distributed failure and repair rates of all the subsystems.The availability expression of marine power plant is derived.Metaheuristic algorithms namely dragonfly algorithm(DA),bat algorithm(BA)and whale optimization(WOA)are employed to optimize the availability of marine power plant.It is revealed that whale optimization algorithm outperforms over dragonfly algorithm(DA),and bat algorithm(BA)in optimum availability prediction and parameter estimation.The numerical values of the availability and estimated parameters are appended as numerical results.The derived results can be utilized in development of maintenance strategies of marine power plants and to carry out design modifications.

文摘An inverse problemin practical scientific investigations is the process of computing unknown parameters from a set of observations where the observations are only recorded indirectly,such as monitoring and controlling quality in industrial process control.Linear regression can be thought of as linear inverse problems.In other words,the procedure of unknown estimation parameters can be expressed as an inverse problem.However,maximum likelihood provides an unstable solution,and the problembecomes more complicated if unknown parameters are estimated from different samples.Hence,researchers search for better estimates.We study two joint censoring schemes for lifetime products in industrial process monitoring.In practice,this type of data can be collected in fields such as the medical industry and industrial engineering.In this study,statistical inference for the Chen lifetime products is considered and analyzed to estimate underlying parameters.Maximum likelihood and Bayes’rule are both studied for model parameters.The asymptotic distribution of maximumlikelihood estimators and the empirical distributions obtained withMarkov chainMonte Carlo algorithms are utilized to build the interval estimators.Theoretical results using tables and figures are adopted through simulation studies and verified in an analysis of the lifetime data.We briefly describe the performance of developed methods.

文摘The substitution box,often known as an S-box,is a nonlinear component that is a part of several block ciphers.Its purpose is to protect cryptographic algorithms from a variety of cryptanalytic assaults.A Multi-Criteria Decision Making(MCDM)problem has a complex selection procedure because of having many options and criteria to choose from.Because of this,statistical methods are necessary to assess the performance score of each S-box and decide which option is the best one available based on this score.Using the Pythagorean Fuzzy-based Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS)method,the major objective of this investigation is to select the optimal S-box to be implemented from a pool of twelve key choices.With the help of the Pythagorean fuzzy set(PFS),the purpose of this article is to evaluate whether this nonlinear component is suitable for use in a variety of encryption applications.In this article,we have considered various characteristics of S-boxes,including nonlinearity,algebraic degree,strict avalanche criterion(SAC),absolute indicator,bit independent criterion(BIC),sum of square indicator,algebraic immunity,transparency order,robustness to differential cryptanalysis,composite algebraic immunity,signal to noise ratio-differential power attack(SNR-DPA),and confusion coefficient variance on some standard S-boxes that are Advanced Encryption Following this,the findings of the investigation are changed into Pythagorean fuzzy numbers in the shape of a matrix.This matrix is then subjected to an analysis using the TOPSIS method,which is dependent on the Pythagorean fuzzy set,to rank the most suitable S-box for use in encryption applications.

文摘Mathematical modelling has been extensively used to measure intervention strategies for the control of contagious conditions.Alignment between different models is pivotal for furnishing strong substantiation for policymakers because the differences in model features can impact their prognostications.Mathematical modelling has been widely used in order to better understand the transmission,treatment,and prevention of infectious diseases.Herein,we study the dynamics of a human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection model with four variables:S(t),I(t),C(t),and A(t)the susceptible individuals;HIV infected individuals(with no clinical symptoms of AIDS);HIV infected individuals(under ART with a viral load remaining low),and HIV infected individuals with two different incidence functions(bilinear and saturated incidence functions).A novel numerical scheme called the continuous Galerkin-Petrov method is implemented for the solution of themodel.The influence of different clinical parameters on the dynamical behavior of S(t),I(t),C(t)and A(t)is described and analyzed.All the results are depicted graphically.On the other hand,we explore the time-dependent movement of nanofluid in porous media on an extending sheet under the influence of thermal radiation,heat flux,hall impact,variable heat source,and nanomaterial.The flow is considered to be 2D,boundary layer,viscous,incompressible,laminar,and unsteady.Sufficient transformations turn governing connected PDEs intoODEs,which are solved using the proposed scheme.To justify the envisaged problem,a comparison of the current work with previous literature is presented.
