    Dynamics and stability analysis of enzymatic cooperative chemical reactions in biological systems with time-delayed effects
    (Elsevier, 2024-09) Sharma, Bhupendra Kumar
    The mathematical modeling and dynamic analysis of time-delayed enzymatic chemical reactions in biological systems are presented in this research. The objective is to examine the function of time lags in these reactions and to get a complete knowledge of the behavior of biological systems in a reaction to modifications in the quantity present of reactants and products. The model, which is based on delay differential equations, includes a time delay term to account for the lag between changes in the concentration of reactants, reaction rate constants and product responses. The findings give insight into how enzymatic processes behave dynamically and how stability is impacted by time lags, oscillation and general efficiency of the system. These results have significant importance for our comprehension of how biological processes are regulated and for the creation of biological control structures

    The impact of radio-chemotherapy on tumour cells interaction with optimal control and sensitivity analysis
    (Elsevier, 2024-03) Dubey, Balram; Dubey, Uma S.
    Oncologists and applied mathematicians are interested in understanding the dynamics of cancer-immune interactions, mainly due to the unpredictable nature of tumour cell proliferation. In this regard, mathematical modelling offers a promising approach to comprehend this potentially harmful aspect of cancer biology. This paper presents a novel dynamical model that incorporates the interactions between tumour cells, healthy tissue cells, and immune-stimulated cells when subjected to simultaneous chemotherapy and radiotherapy for treatment. We analysed the equilibria and investigated their local stability behaviour. We also study transcritical, saddle–node, and Hopf bifurcations analytically and numerically. We derive the stability and direction conditions for periodic solutions. We identify conditions that lead to chaotic dynamics and rigorously demonstrate the existence of chaos. Furthermore, we formulated an optimal control problem that describes the dynamics of tumour-immune interactions, considering treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy as control parameters. Our goal is to utilize optimal control theory to reduce the cost of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, minimize the harmful effects of medications on the body, and mitigate the burden of cancer cells by maintaining a sufficient population of healthy cells. Cost-effectiveness analysis is employed to identify the most economical strategy for reducing the disease burden. Additionally, we conduct a Latin hypercube sampling-based uncertainty analysis to observe the impact of parameter uncertainties on tumour growth, followed by a sensitivity analysis. Numerical simulations are presented to elucidate how dynamic behaviour of model is influenced by changes in system parameters. The numerical results validate the analytical findings and illustrate that a multi-therapeutic treatment plan can effectively reduce tumour burden within a given time frame of therapeutic intervention.

    The impact of social media advertisements and treatments on the dynamics of infectious diseases with optimal control strategies
    (Elsevier, 2024-05) Dubey, Uma S.; Dubey, Balram
    The dissemination of public health information through television and social media posts is essential for informing the public about the transmission of contagious diseases, which is crucial in preventing the spread of various infectious diseases. In this paper, we propose a non-linear mathematical model to assess the effect of advertisements through social media in creating awareness and limiting treatment on spreading infectious diseases. These initiatives may alter population behaviour and divide the susceptible population into subgroups. In addition, to comprehend these dynamics better, we use half-saturation constant rates for media coverage and treatment. The model’s well-posedness and feasibility are evaluated. The possible biological equilibrium points are calculated. Local and global stability are carried out. The objective of our study is to produce the model’s bifurcation. Transcritical, Saddle–node, Hopf bifurcation of codimension 1 and Cusp, Generalized-Hopf (Bautin), and Bogdanov–Takens (BT) bifurcation of codimension 2 are studied for this purpose. Due to the limited medical resources and supply efficiency, the model exhibits backward bifurcation, resulting in bistability. Moreover, the occurrence condition for stability and direction of Hopf bifurcation is discussed. This model study demonstrates that the system is significantly influenced by the pace with which awareness programmes are implemented and that raising this value above a threshold may result in continuous oscillation. Sensitivity analysis employs the normalized forward sensitivity index of the basic reproduction number to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effect of various parameters on accelerating and limiting disease spread. Further, the minimum possible cost is determined by formulating an optimal control system based on sensitivity analysis and applying Pontryagin’s maximum principle. Methods of cost-effectiveness, such as ACER and ICER, are used to determine the most cost-effective control intervention strategy among all the strategies. Numerical simulations have been done to support all theoretical findings.

    Fractional differential equation with movable boundary conditions
    (Taru Publication, 2024-03) Mathur, Trilok; Agarwal, Shivi
    In this research paper, we discuss the complex-valued solutions for the nonlinear fractional boundary value problem (FBVP) of complex order (δ = τ + ιa; 1 < τ ≤ 2, a ∈ R+) with movable boundary conditions. The fractional operators are taken in the sense of Riemann-Liouville (R-L) with complex order. By using the concept of Green’s function, the existence and uniqueness of solutions are established in this article. Also, we prove that the FBVP of complex order with movable boundary conditions is Ulam-Hyers Stable. Using illustrative examples, the results for this nonlinear FBVP have been shown.

    Stability of Positive Solution to Fractional Logistic Equations
    (Division of Functional Equations, 2019) Dwivedi, Gaurav
    In this paper, we show the existence of a classical solution to a class of fractional logistic equations in an open bounded subset with smooth boundary. We use the method of sub- and super-solutions with variational arguments to establish the existence of a unique positive solution. We also establish the stability and nondegeneracy of the positive solution.

    Epidemic Model of HIV/AIDS Transmission Dynamics with Different Latent Stages Based on Treatment
    (Science PC, 2016-10) Kulshrestha, Rakhee
    The mathematical model for analyzing the transmission dynamics of HIV/AIDS epidemic with treatment is studied by considering the three latent compartments for slow, medium and fast progresses of developing the AIDS. By constructing the system of differential equations for the different population groups namely susceptible, three types of latent individuals, symptomatic stage group and full blown AIDS individuals, the mathematical analysis is carried out in order to understand the dynamics of disease spread. By determining the basic reproduction number (R0), the model examines the two equilibrium points (i) the disease free equilibrium and (ii) the endemic equilibrium. It is established that if R0 <1, the disease free equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable. The stability of endemic equilibrium has also been discussed.

    Modelling effects of industrialization, population and pollution on a renewable resource
    (Elsevier, 2010-08) Dubey, Balram
    In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed and analysed to study the simultaneous effect of industrialization, population and pollution on the depletion of a renewable resource. Criteria for local stability, global stability and instability are obtained. It is shown that if the densities of industrialization, population and pollution increase, then the density of the resource biomass decreases and it settles down at its equilibrium level whose magnitude is lower than its original carrying capacity. It is further noted that if these factors increase unabatedly, the resource biomass may be driven to extinction. Computer simulations are also performed to illustrate the results.

    In this paper a predator-prey model with discrete delay and harvesting of predator is proposed and analyzed by considering ratio-dependent functional response. Conditions of existence of various equilibria and their stability have been discussed. By taking delay as a bifurcation parameter, the system is found to undergo a Hopf bifurcation. Numerical simulations are also performed to illustrate the results.

    A mathematical model for chemical defense mechanism of two competing species
    (Elsevier, 2010-04) Dubey, Balram
    In this paper, a non-linear mathematical model is proposed and analyzed to study the phenomenon of a chemical defense mechanism involving two competing species, where each species produces a toxicant affecting the other. It is shown that if the emission rate coefficient of toxicant, produced by one species increases, the equilibrium density of the other species decreases and its magnitude is lower than its original carrying capacity. It is found that the usual principle of competitive exclusion (coexistence) in the absence of toxicant may change in the case under consideration. It is also observed that increases in the values of production rates of toxicants by the competing species and depletion rates of environmental toxicants due to its assimilation by the species has a destabilizing effect, and decrease in the washout rates of environmental toxicants has a destabilizing effect on the dynamics of the system. In the case of allelopathy, where only one species produces a toxicant affecting the other species, it is shown that the affected species is driven to extinction for large production rate of this toxicant.

    Modeling effects of toxicant on uninfected cells, infected cells and immune response in the presence of virus
    (World Scientific, 2011) Dubey, Balram; Dubey, Uma S.
    In this paper, two mathematical models are proposed and analyzed. The first one deals with the interaction of uninfected cells, infected cells, viruses and immune response within humans. The second one deals with the effects of environmental toxicant on the first model. In each case, sufficient conditions for local stability and global stability of the equilibria are obtained, computer simulations are performed and the result is biologically interpreted. It has been seen that the environmental toxicant has detrimental effects on healthy cells, infected cells as well as on the immune response of the body.
