• The Effect of Recurrent Mutations on Genetic Diversity in a Large
Population of Varying Size
Pages: 11 - 51
Abstract: Recurrent mutations are a common phenomenon in population genetics. They may be at the origin of the fixation of a new genotype, if they give a phenotypic advantage to the carriers of the new mutation. In this paper, we are interested in the genetic signature left by a selective sweep induced by recurrent mutations at a given locus from an allele $$A$$ to an allele $$a$$ , depending on the mutation frequency. We distinguish three possible scales for the mutation probability per reproductive event, which entail distinct genetic signatures. Besides, we study the hydrodynamic limit of the $$A$$ - and $$a$$ -population size dynamics when mutations are frequent, and find non trivial equilibria leading to several possible patterns of polymorphism.

• Dynamics and Optimal Actuation of a Three-Sphere Low-Reynolds-Number
Swimmer with Muscle-Like Arms
• Authors: Alessandro Montino; Antonio DeSimone
Pages: 53 - 86
Abstract: The three-sphere swimmer by Najafi and Golestanian is composed of three spheres connected by two arms. The case in which the swimmer can control the lengths of the two arms has been studied in detail. Here we study a variation of the model in which the swimmer’s arms are constructed according to Hill’s model of muscular contraction. The swimmer is able to control the tension developed in the active components of the arms. The two shape parameters and the tensions acting on the two arms are then obtained by solving a system of ordinary differential equations. We study the qualitative properties of the solutions, compute analytically their leading order approximation and compare them with numerical simulations. We also formulate and solve some optimisation problems, aimed at finding the actuation strategies maximising performance, for various performance measures. Finally, we discuss the structure of the governing equations of our microswimmers from the point of view of control theory. We show that our systems are control affine systems with drift.

• Recovering the Initial Distribution for a Time-Fractional Diffusion
Equation
Pages: 87 - 99
Abstract: We consider the inverse problem of reconstructing the initial condition of a one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion equation from measurements collected at a single interior location over a finite time-interval. The method relies on the eigenfunction expansion of the forward solution in conjunction with a Tikhonov regularization scheme to control the instability inherent in the problem. We show that the inverse problem has a unique solution provided exact data is given, and prove stability results regarding the regularized solution. Numerical realization of the method and illustrations using a finite-element discretization are given at the end of this paper.

• Global Existence and Aggregation in a Keller–Segel Model with
Fokker–Planck Diffusion
• Authors: Changwook Yoon; Yong-Jung Kim
Pages: 101 - 123
Abstract: The global existence and the instability of constant steady states are obtained together for a Keller-Segel type chemotactic aggregation model. Organisms are assumed to change their motility depending only on the chemical density but not on its gradient. However, the resulting model is closely related to the logarithmic model, \begin{aligned} u_{t}=\Delta \bigl(\gamma (v)u\bigr)=\nabla \cdot \biggl(\gamma (v) \biggl(\nabla u- \frac{k}{v}u\nabla v \biggr) \biggr),\quad v_{t}={\varepsilon }\Delta v-v+u, \end{aligned} where $$\gamma (v):=c_{0}v^{-k}$$ is the motility function. The global existence is shown for all chemosensitivity constant $$k>0$$ with a smallness assumption on $$c_{0}>0$$ . On the other hand constant steady states are shown to be unstable only if $$k>1$$ and $${\varepsilon }>0$$ is small. Furthermore, the threshold diffusivity $${\varepsilon }_{1}>0$$ is found that, if $${\varepsilon }<{\varepsilon }_{1}$$ , any constant steady state is unstable and an aggregation pattern appears. Numerical simulations are given for radial cases.

• Generalized MHD System with Velocity Gradient in Besov Spaces of Negative
Order
• Authors: Zujin Zhang
Pages: 139 - 144
Abstract: This paper studies the 3D generalized MHD system with fractional diffusion terms $$(-\triangle)^{\alpha}\boldsymbol{u}$$ and $$(-\triangle )^{\beta}\boldsymbol{b}$$ with $$0<\alpha<\frac{5}{4}\leq\beta$$ , and establishes a regularity criterion involving the velocity gradient in Besov spaces of negative order. This improves Fan et al. (Math. Phys. Anal. Geom. 17:333–340, 2014) a lot.

• Exponential Stability and Periodic Solutions of Impulsive Neural Network
Models with Piecewise Constant Argument
• Authors: Kuo-Shou Chiu
Abstract: In this paper we introduce an impulsive cellular neural network models with piecewise alternately advanced and retarded argument. The model with the advanced argument is system with strong anticipation. Some sufficient conditions are established for the existence and global exponential stability of a unique periodic solution. The approaches are based on employing Banach’s fixed point theorem and a new integral inequality of Gronwall type with impulses and deviating arguments. The criteria given are easily verifiable, possess many adjustable parameters, and depend on impulses and piecewise constant argument deviations, which provides flexibility for the design and analysis of cellular neural network models. Several numerical examples and simulations are also given to show the feasibility and effectiveness of our results.

• Towards a Comprehensive Stability Theory for Feynman’s Operational
Calculus: The Time-Dependent Setting
• Authors: Lance Nielsen
Abstract: We establish a comprehensive stability theory for Feynman’s operational calculus (informally, the forming of functions of several noncommuting operators) in the time-dependent setting. Indeed, the main theorem, Theorem 2, contains many of the current stability theorems for the operational calculus and allows the stability theory to be significantly extended. The assumptions needed for the main theorem, Theorem 2, are rather mild and fit in nicely with the current abstract theory of the operational calculus in the time-dependent setting. Moreover, Theorem 2 allows the use of arbitrary time-ordering measures, as long as the discrete parts of these measures are finitely supported.

• On the Euler-Korteweg System with Free Boundary Condition
• Authors: Tong Tang; Hongjun Gao
Abstract: In this paper, we study the compressible Euler-Korteweg equations with free boundary condition in vacuum. Under physically assumptions of positive density and pressure, we introduce some physically quantities to show that the spreading diameter of regions grows linearly in time. This is an interesting result as one would expect that the capillary forces would prevent the boundary from spreading. Moreover, we construct a spherically symmetric global solution to support our theorem, followed by Sideris (J. Differ. Equ. 257:1–14, 2014).

• Global Existence and Finite Time Blow-up for a Reaction-Diffusion System
with Three Components
• Authors: Huiling Li; Yang Zhang
Abstract: This paper concerns global existence and finite time blow-up behavior of positive solutions for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion system with different diffusion coefficients. By use of algebraic matrix theory and modern analytical theory, we extend results of Wang (Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 51:160–167, 2000) to a more general system. Furthermore, we give a complete answer to the open problem which was brought forward in Wang (Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 51:160–167, 2000).

• Global Solution and Blow-up for a Class of p-Laplacian Evolution Equations
with Logarithmic Nonlinearity
• Authors: Cong Nhan Le; Xuan Truong Le
Abstract: The main goal of this work is to study an initial boundary value problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation with logarithmic source term. By using the potential well method and a logarithmic Sobolev inequality, we obtain results of existence or nonexistence of global weak solutions. In addition, we also provided sufficient conditions for the large time decay of global weak solutions and for the finite time blow-up of weak solutions.

• Stochastic Quantization for the Fractional Edwards Measure
• Authors: Wolfgang Bock; Torben Fattler; Ludwig Streit
Abstract: We prove that there exists a diffusion process whose invariant measure is the fractional polymer or Edwards measure for fractional Brownian motion, $$\mu_{ {g,H}}$$ , $$H\in (0,1)$$ for $$dH < 1$$ . The diffusion is constructed in the framework of Dirichlet forms in infinite dimensional (Gaussian) analysis. Moreover, the process is invariant under time translations.

• Fluid Dynamics Solutions Obtained from the Riemann Invariant Approach
• Authors: A. M. Grundland; V. Lamothe
Abstract: The generalized method of characteristics is used to obtain rank-2 solutions of the classical equations of hydrodynamics in ( $$3+1$$ ) dimensions describing the motion of a fluid medium in the presence of gravitational and Coriolis forces. We determine the necessary and sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of solutions expressed in terms of Riemann invariants for an inhomogeneous quasilinear system of partial differential equations. The paper contains a detailed exposition of the theory of simple wave solutions and a presentation of the main tool used to study the Cauchy problem. A systematic use is made of the generalized method of characteristics in order to generate several classes of wave solutions written in terms of Riemann invariants.

• On Global Stability of the Lotka Reactions with Generalized Mass-Action
Kinetics
• Authors: Balázs Boros; Josef Hofbauer; Stefan Müller
Abstract: Chemical reaction networks with generalized mass-action kinetics lead to power-law dynamical systems. As a simple example, we consider the Lotka reactions with two chemical species and arbitrary power-law kinetics. We study existence, uniqueness, and stability of the positive equilibrium, in particular, we characterize its global asymptotic stability in terms of the kinetic orders.

• Rigorous Computation of Non-uniform Patterns for the 2-Dimensional
Gray-Scott Reaction-Diffusion Equation
• Authors: Roberto Castelli
Abstract: In this paper a method to rigorously compute several non trivial solutions of the Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion system defined on a 2-dimensional bounded domain is presented. It is proved existence, within rigorous bounds, of non uniform patterns significantly far from being a perturbation of the homogenous states. As a result, a non local diagram of families that bifurcate from the homogenous states is depicted, also showing coexistence of multiple solutions at the same parameter values. Combining analytical estimates and rigorous computations, the solutions are sought as fixed points of a operator in a suitable Banach space. To address the curse of dimensionality, a variation of the existing technique is presented, necessary to enable successful computations in reasonable time.

• Rates of Decay for Porous Elastic System Weakly Dissipative
• Authors: M. L. Santos; A. D. S. Campelo; D. S. Almeida Júnior
Abstract: In this work we are considering the porous elastic system with porous elastic dissipation and with elastic dissipation. Our main result is to show that the corresponding semigroup is exponentially stable if and only if the wave speeds of the system are equal. In the case of lack of exponential stability we show that the solution decays polynomially and we prove that the rate of decay is optimal. It is worth noting that the result obtained here is different from all existing in the literature for porous elastic materials, where the sum of the two slow decay processes determine a process that decay exponentially. Numerical experiments using finite differences are given to confirm our analytical results. Our numerical results are qualitatively in agreement with the corresponding results from dynamical in infinite dimensional.

• Error Bounds for the Large-Argument Asymptotic Expansions of the Hankel
and Bessel Functions
• Authors: Gergő Nemes
Abstract: In this paper, we reconsider the large-argument asymptotic expansions of the Hankel, Bessel and modified Bessel functions and their derivatives. New integral representations for the remainder terms of these asymptotic expansions are found and used to obtain sharp and realistic error bounds. We also give re-expansions for these remainder terms and provide their error estimates. A detailed discussion on the sharpness of our error bounds and their relation to other results in the literature is given. The techniques used in this paper should also generalize to asymptotic expansions which arise from an application of the method of steepest descents.
