The Dynamics of an HIV/AIDS Model with Screened Disease Carriers
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 287-305, 2009., 2009 The presence of carriers usually complicates the dynamics and prevention of a disease. They are not recognized as disease cases themselves unless they are screened and they usually spread the infection without them being aware. We argue that this has been one of the major causes of the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Modelling Immune Response and Drug Therapy in Human Malaria Infection
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 143-163, 2008., 2008 A new intra‐host model of malaria that describes the dynamics of the blood stages of the parasite and its interaction with red blood cells and immune effectors is proposed. Local and global stability of the disease free equilibrium are investigated. Conditions for existence and uniqueness of the endemic equilibrium are derived.

On stability and bifurcation of solutions of an SEIR epidemic model with vertical transmission
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 56, Page 2971-2987, 2004., 2004 A four‐dimensional SEIR epidemic model is considered. The stability of the equilibria is established. Hopf bifurcation and center manifold theories are applied for a reduced three‐dimensional epidemic model. The boundedness, dissipativity, persistence, global stability, and Hopf‐Andronov‐Poincaré bifurcation for the four‐dimensional epidemic model are ...

On the dynamics of a class of multi-group models for vector-borne diseases [PDF]
, 2015 The resurgence of vector-borne diseases is an increasing public health concern, and there is a need for a better understanding of their dynamics. For a number of diseases, e.g.

On the optimality of double‐bracket flows
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 62, Page 3301-3319, 2004., 2004 We analyze the optimality of the stable fixed point of the double‐bracket equations. We introduce different types of optimality and prove local and global optimality results with respect to the Schatten p‐norms.

The buffered chemostat with non-monotonic response functions [PDF]
, 2013 We study how a particular spatial structure with a buffer impacts the number of equilibria and their stability in the chemostat model. We show that the occurrence of a buffer can allow a species to persist or on the opposite to go extinct, depending on ...

An equivalence theorem concerning population growth in a variable environment
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 43, Page 2747-2758, 2003., 2003 We give conditions under which two solutions x and y of the Kolmogorov equation x˙=xf(t,x) satisfy limy(t)/x(t) = 1 as t → ∞. This conclusion is important for two reasons: it shows that the long‐time behavior of the population is independent of the initial condition and it applies to ecological systems in which the coefficients are time dependent.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2003, Issue 1, Page 25-45, 2003., 2003 We extend the notion of dissipative dynamical systems to formalize the concept of the nonlinear analog of strict positive realness and strict bounded realness. In particular, using exponentially weighted system storage functions with appropriate exponentially weighted supply rates, we introduce the concept of exponential dissipativity.

Towards a prototype of a spherical tippe top [PDF]
, 2012 Among spinning objects, the tippe top exhibits one of the most bizarre and counterintuitive behaviours. The commercially available tippe tops basically consist of a section of a sphere with a rod.
