Stability Analysis of a Model of Atherogenesis: An Energy Estimate Approach II

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 67-88, 2010., 2010
This paper considers modelling atherogenesis, the initiation of atherosclerosis, as an inflammatory instability. Motivated by the disease paradigm articulated by Russell Ross, atherogenesis is viewed as an inflammatory spiral with positive feedback loop involving key cellular and chemical species interacting and reacting within the intimal layer of ...

Mathematical Modelling of Immune Response in Tissues

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 9-38, 2009., 2009
We have developed a spatial–temporal mathematical model (PDE) to capture fundamental aspects of the immune response to antigen. We have considered terms that broadly describe intercellular communication, cell movement, and effector function (activation or inhibition).

Stability Analysis of a Model of Atherogenesis: An Energy Estimate Approach

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 121-142, 2008., 2008
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the vasculature that is characterized by chronic inflammation and the accumulation of lipids and apoptotic cells in the walls of large arteries. This disease results in plaque growth in an infected artery typically leading to occlusion of the artery. Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of human mortality in the US, much

An efficient approach for solving a class of nonlinear 2D parabolic PDEs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 17, Page 881-899, 2004., 2004
We consider a class of nonlinear 2D parabolic equations that allow for an efficient application of an operator splitting technique and a suitable linearization of the discretized problem. We apply our scheme to study the finite extinction phenomenon for the porous‐medium equation with strong absorption.

A hybrid neural network model for the dynamics of the Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equation

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2004, Issue 3, Page 305-321, 2004., 2004
A hybrid approach consisting of two neural networks is used to model the oscillatory dynamical behavior of the Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky (KS) equation at a bifurcation parameter α = 84.25. This oscillatory behavior results from a fixed point that occurs at α = 72 having a shape of two‐humped curve that becomes unstable and undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at α =

The generalized Burgers equation with and without a time delay

open access: yesInternational Journal of Stochastic Analysis, Volume 2004, Issue 1, Page 73-96, 2004., 2004
We consider the generalized Burgers equation with and without a time delay when the boundary conditions are periodic with period 2π. For the generalized Burgers equation without a time delay, that is, ut = vuxx − uux + u + h(x), 0 < x < 2π, t > 0, u(0, t) = u(2π, t), u(x, 0) = u0(x), a Lyapunov function method is used to show boundedness and uniqueness

On a class of nonlinear reaction‐diffusion systems with nonlocal boundary conditions

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 2004, Issue 9, Page 793-813, 2004., 2004
We prove the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of a generalized solution of a nonlinear reaction‐diffusion system with only integral terms in the boundaries. We first solve a particular case of the problem by using the energy‐integral method. Next, via an iteration procedure, we derive the obtained results to study the solvability of the

Remarks on nonlinear biharmonic evolution equation of Kirchhoff type in noncylindrical domain

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 32, Page 2035-2052, 2003., 2003
We investigate a boundary value problem for a nonlinear evolution biharmonic operator motivated by flexion of fully clamped beam in two different physical situations. In the first, the supports of the ends of the beam are fixed and in the second one, the supports of the ends of the beam have small displacements.

Critical global asymptotics in higher‐order semilinear parabolic equations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 60, Page 3809-3825, 2003., 2003
We consider a higher‐order semilinear parabolic equation ut = −(−Δ)mu − g(x, u) in ℝN × ℝ+, m > 1. The nonlinear term is homogeneous: g(x, su) ≡ |s|p−1sg(x, u) and g(sx, u) ≡ |s|Qg(x, u) for any s ∈ ℝ, with exponents P > 1, and Q > −2m. We also assume that g satisfies necessary coercivity and monotonicity conditions for global existence of solutions ...
