    Inquisition of optical soliton structure and qualitative analysis for the complex-coupled Kuralay system

    This study seeks to explore the integrable dynamics of induced curves through the utilization of the complex-coupled Kuralay system. The importance of the coupled complex Kuralay equation lies in its role as a fundamental model that contributes to the understanding of intricate physical and mathematical concepts, making it a valuable tool in scientific research and applications. The soliton solutions originating from the Kuralay equations are believed to encapsulate cutting-edge research in various important domains such as optical fibers, nonlinear optics, and ferromagnetic materials. Analytical techniques are employed to derive traveling wave solutions for this model, given that the Cauchy problem cannot be resolved using the inverse scattering transform. In the quest for solitary wave solutions, the extended modified auxiliary equation mapping (EMAEM) method is employed. We derive several novel families of precise traveling wave solutions, encompassing trigonometric, hyperbolic, and exponential forms. Moreover, the planar dynamical system of the concerned equation is created, all probable phase portraits are given, and sensitive inspection is applied to check the sensitivity of the considered equation. Furthermore, after adding a perturbed term, chaotic and quasi-periodic behaviors have been observed for different values of parameters, and multistability is reported at the end. Numerical simulations of the solutions are incorporated alongside the analytical results to enhance comprehension of the dynamic characteristics of the solutions obtained. This study’s outcomes can offer valuable insights for addressing other nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs). The soliton solutions obtained in this study offer important insights into the intricate nonlinear equation being examined.

    The perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation plays a crucial role in various scientific and technological fields. This equation, an extension of the classical nonlinear Schrödinger equation, incorporates perturbative effects that are essential for modeling real-world phenomena more accurately. In this paper, we investigate the traveling wave solutions of the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation using the bifurcation theory of dynamical systems. Graphical presentations of the phase portrait are provided, revealing the traveling wave solutions under various conditions. By employing the auxiliary equation method, we derive a variety of solutions including periodic, dark, singular and bright optical solitons. To provide comprehensive and clearer depiction of the model’s behavior 2D, contour and 3D graphical representations are offered. We also highlight specific constraint conditions that ensure the presence of these obtained solutions. This study expands the scope of known exact solutions and their stability qualities which is offering an extensive analytical technique which enhances previous research. The novelty of our research lies in its examination of bifurcation analysis and the auxiliary equation method within the context of a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger wave equation for the first time. By integrating these two perspectives, this paper contributes to establishing the complex dynamics and stability characteristics of soliton solutions under perturbations.

    Bifurcation analysis and chaos control for fractional predator-prey model with Gompertz growth of prey population

    This paper discusses a fractional-order prey–predator system with Gompertz growth of prey population in terms of the Caputo fractional derivative. The non-negativity and boundedness of the solutions of the considered model are successfully analyzed. We utilize the Mittag-Leffler function and the Laplace transform to prove the boundedness of the solutions of this model. We describe the topological categories of the fixed points of the model. It is theoretically demonstrated that under certain parametric conditions, the fractional-order prey–predator model can undergo both Neimark–Sacker and period-doubling bifurcations. The piecewise constant argument approach is invoked to discretize the considered model. We also formulate some necessary conditions under which the stability of the fixed points occurs. We find that there are two fixed points for the considered model which are semi-trivial and coexistence fixed points. These points are stable under some specific constraints. Using the bifurcation theory, we establish the Neimark–Sacker and period-doubling bifurcations under certain constraints. We also control the emergence of chaos using the OGY method. In order to guarantee the accuracy of the theoretical study, some numerical investigations are performed. In particular, we present some phase portraits for the stability and the emergence of the Neimark–Sacker and period-doubling bifurcations. The biological meaning of the given bifurcations is successfully discussed. The used techniques can be successfully employed for other models.

    The fractional Klein–Gordon equation (fKGE) holds a crucial position in various fields of theoretical and applied physics, with wide applications covering different areas such as nonlinear optics, condensed matter physics, and quantum mechanics. In this paper, we carry out analytical investigation to the fKGE with beta fractional derivative by using the Bernoulli (GG)-expansion method and improved tan(ϕ2)-expansion method. In order to better comprehend the physical structure of the obtained solutions, three-dimensional visualizations, contour diagrams, and line graphs of the exponent function solutions are depicted with the aid of Matlab. Moreover, the phase portraits and bifurcation behaviors of the fKGE under transformation are studied. Sensitivity and chaotic behaviors are analyzed in specific conditions. The phase plots and time series map are exhibited through sensitivity analysis and perturbation factors. These studies enhance our understanding of practical phenomena governed by the model of fKGE, and are crucial for examining the dynamic behaviors and phase portraits of the fKGE system. The strategies utilized here are more direct and effective, which can be effortlessly utilized to various fractional-order differential equations arising in nonlinear optics and quantum mechanics.

    Revival of Oscillations from Explosive Death Under Mean-Field Attractive–Repulsive Coupling

    The restoration and maintenance of oscillatory rhythms are integrated to the regular operation of biological and physical processes. In this paper, we explore the revival of oscillations, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of explosive Nontrivial Amplitude Death (NAD) that occurs within N van der Pol oscillators coupled through mean-field attractive–repulsive interactions. By incorporating discrete and distributed delays into the repulsive mean-field, respectively, we provide theoretical and numerical evidence that the explosive NAD can be effectively destabilized, leading to the restoration of the oscillatory behavior. By utilizing Lyapunov stability, we theoretically determine the boundaries of the oscillation region recovered from NAD. For discrete delay, adjusting the magnitude of delay can result in a substantial reduction of the NAD region within the parameter space. Under a specific delay, the NAD region completely becomes an oscillation state. Moreover, in the scenario of uniformly distributed delay, the presence of delay also contributes to a decrease of the NAD area, and as the distribution width increases, the revived oscillation region gradually contracts compared to the case with discrete delay. Importantly, the results from the numerical simulations are in agreement with the theoretical analysis. Our framework establishes a theoretical foundation for comprehending the regeneration of oscillation in mean-field attractive–repulsive coupled systems.

    Analyzing the Synergistic Effects of Population and Pollution on Forest Resources: A Mathematical Model

    The alteration in concentration of atmospheric pollutants is influencing the functionality and growth of forests. Also, the growing human demand for forestry resources is detrimentally affecting the sustainability of these valuable resources. In this study, we present a mathematical model that incorporates the influence of atmospheric pollutants on the intrinsic growth rate of forests, while concurrently addressing the utilization of forestry land by the human population for diverse purposes which diminishes the carrying capacity of forestry resources. We establish sufficient conditions under which all relevant dynamic variables stabilize at their equilibria. Upon scrutinizing the model system, we observe multiple bifurcations concerning certain key parameters. Additionally, numerical simulations have been conducted to corroborate the analytically derived findings. Moreover, we fortify the proposed model through the integration of a time delay in the impact of pollutants on the intrinsic growth rate of forestry resources. Despite the conventional belief that introducing a time delay tends to destabilize systems, our resolute delayed model system showcases that a time delay in the effect of pollutants on intrinsic growth rate of forestry resources can, in fact, stabilize the unstable interior equilibrium.

    PREY–PREDATOR MODEL WITH ALLEE EFFECT INCORPORATING PREY REFUGE WITH HUNTING COOPERATION

    In this paper, we consider the dynamics of a prey–predator model with logistic growth incorporating refuge in the prey and cooperation among predators population. Furthermore, multiplicative Allee effect in the prey growth is added to account from biological and mathematical perspectives. First, the existence and stability of equilibria of the model are discussed. Next, the existence of several kinds of bifurcation is provided and also studied the direction and stability of Hopf bifurcation. In addition, we study the influence of hunting cooperation on the model analytically and numerically, and find that the hunting cooperation cannot only reduce the density of prey population, but also destabilize the system dynamics irrespective of Allee effect. We choose also the impact of refuge on the model numerically, and explore that refuge stabilize the system dynamics. Moreover, the comparison between the dynamics of strong and weak Allee effect is taken into consideration.

    DYNAMICAL BEHAVIORS OF A FRACTIONAL-ORDER PREDATOR–PREY MODEL: INSIGHTS INTO MULTIPLE PREDATORS COMPETING FOR A SINGLE PREY

    Fractals17 Feb 2025

    In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behaviors of a modified Bazykin-type two predator-one prey model involving the intra-specific and inter-specific competition among predators. A Caputo fractional-order derivative is utilized to include the influence of the memory on the constructed mathematical model. The mathematical validity is ensured by showing the model always has a unique, non-negative and bounded solution. Four kinds of equilibria are well identified which represent the condition when all populations are extinct, both two predators are extinct, only the first predator is extinct, only the second predator is extinct, and all populations are extinct. The Matignon condition is given to identify the dynamics around equilibrium points. The Lyapunov direct method, the Lyapunov function, and the generalized LaSalle invariant principle are also provided to show the global stability condition of the model. To explore the dynamics of the model more deeply, we utilize the predictor–corrector numerical scheme. Numerically, we find the forward bifurcation and the bistability conditions by showing the bifurcation diagram, phase portraits, and the time series. The biological interpretation of the analytical and numerical results is described explicitly when an interesting phenomenon occurs.

    Research on Dynamics Characteristics of Grounded Damping Nonlinear Energy Sink

    The nonlinear energy sink (NES) system mainly dissipates energy through damping elements, and changing the position of the damping element will also change the performance of the NES. In this paper, a grounded damping NES is proposed by grounding the damping element of the traditional cubic stiffness NES. The complex dynamics of this two-degree-of-freedom system are investigated. The slow-varying equations of the system under 1:1 internal resonance are derived by using the complexification-averaging (C×A) method, based on which the influence of the primary structure’s damping on a bifurcation is analyzed. The conditions for the existence of strongly modulated response (SMR) are studied, and the accuracy of the results is verified using the slow invariant manifold (SIM), Poincare mapping, and time-history diagrams. This provides a means of verifying the analytical findings. The vibration suppression effects of the grounded damping NES, as compared to the cubic stiffness NES, are thoroughly studied under both pulse and harmonic excitations. The results indicate that the main structure damping affects the stability of the system and the occurrence of the SMR. Most previous studies of the NESs have overlooked the effect of main structure damping, which may influence the selection of structural parameters. Moreover, under relatively large pulse or harmonic excitations, the vibration suppression effectiveness of the grounded damping NES surpasses that of traditional cubic stiffness NES. This finding has important practical significance for improving the vibration suppression effect and robustness of the NES, and provides a reference for the structural design of the NES.

    Secondary Resonances of Asymmetric Gyroscopic Spinning Composite Box Beams

    A comprehensive theoretical investigation on the occurrence of secondary resonances in parametrically excited unbalanced spinning composite beams under the stretching effects is conducted numerically and analytically. Based on an optimal stacking sequence and Rayleigh’s beam theory, the governing equations of the system are derived using extended Hamilton’s principle. The system’s partial differential equations are then discretized using the Galerkin method. Numerical (Runge–Kutta technique) and analytical (multiple scales method) approaches are exploited to solve the reduced-order equations, and their results are compared and verified accordingly. Comparison and convergence investigations are performed to guarantee the validity of the outcomes. Stability and bifurcation analyses are accomplished, and resonance effects are thoroughly studied utilizing frequency-response diagrams, phase portraits, Poincaré maps and time-history responses. It is observed that among the various types of secondary resonance, only a combination resonance can be observed in the system dynamics. The outputs reveal that, in this resonance, the gyroscopic coupling results in the steady-state time response consisting of three main frequencies. By examining the effects of damping, eccentricity, and beam length, it is exhibited that this resonance does not occur in the system’s dynamics for any combination of these parameters. Therefore, these parameters can be adjusted in the design of asymmetric beams to prevent this type of resonance.

    Complex dynamics of a discrete-time Leslie–Gower predator–prey system with herd behavior and slow–fast effect on predator population

    This work examines a discrete Leslie–Gower predator–prey system with herd behavior, focusing on the influence of the slow–fast effect on predator dynamics. We analyze the presence and stability of fixed points, investigating period-doubling and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations at the positive fixed point. A hybrid control technique is implemented to successfully handle chaotic dynamics. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical findings, supporting our analysis. The parameter 𝜖 in the predator–prey system has a significant impact on system dynamics due to the slow–fast effect it represents. A stable positive fixed point signifies a lasting and balanced coexistence of predator and prey populations within a certain 𝜖 interval. Deviation from this range results in period-doubling and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations, increasing both unpredictability and instability in the system.

    Stochastic dynamical behaviors of SOS/ERK signaling pathway perturbated by external noise

    The SOS/ERK cascades are key signaling pathways that regulate cellular processes ranging from cellular proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis to tumor formation. However, the properties of these signaling pathways are not well understood. More importantly, how stochastic perturbations of internal and external cellular environment affect these pathways remains unanswered. To answer these questions, we, in this paper, propose a stochastic model according to the biochemical reaction processes of the SOS/ERK pathways, and, respectively, research the dynamical behaviors of this model under the four kinds of noises: Gaussian noise, colored noise, Lévy noise and fraction Brown noise. Some important results are found that Gaussian and colored noises have less effect on the stability of the system when the strength of the noise is small; Lévy and fractional Brownian noises significantly change the trajectories of the system. Power spectrum analysis shows that Lévy noise induces a system with quasi-periodic trajectories. Our results not only provide an understanding of the SOS/ERK pathway, but also show generalized rules for stochastic dynamical systems.

    Impact of social media and word-of-mouth on the transmission dynamics of communicable and non-communicable diseases

    This study delves into the intricate interplay between social media platforms, interpersonal word-of-mouth communication, and the transmission dynamics associated with non-communicable diseases, with a particular emphasis on type 2 diabetes. Leveraging advanced mathematical modeling and epidemiological methodologies, our objective is to furnish a comprehensive understanding of how information dissemination through digital and interpersonal networks can impact the proliferation of such diseases within populations.

Our focus lies in the rigorous examination of Hopf and transcritical bifurcations within the system. Furthermore, we consider the influence of seasonal fluctuations in the growth rate of social media advertisements with an aim to discern its role in potentially instigating chaotic dynamics within the context of disease progression. In sum, this research seeks to offer a comprehensive and scientifically robust understanding of the patterns of type 2 diabetes and associated communicable diseases within the context of evolving digital communication landscapes.

    COVID-19 dynamics and mutation: Linking intra-host and inter-hosts dynamics via agent-based modeling approach

    The study addresses the global impact of COVID-19 by developing a mathematical model that combines within-host and between-host factors to better understand the disease’s dynamics. It begins by describing SARS-CoV-2 dynamics within individual human hosts using fractional-order differential equations. The model is shown to be Ulam–Hyers stable, ensuring reliable predictions. The research then investigates virus transmission from infected to susceptible individuals using agent-based modeling (ABM). This approach allows us to capture the diversity and heterogeneity among individuals, including variations in internal state of individuals, immune response and responses to interventions, making the model more realistic compared to aggregate models. The agent-based model places individuals on a square lattice, assigns health states (susceptible, infectious, or recovered), and relies on infected individuals’ viral load for transmission. Parameter values are stochastically generated via Latin hypercube sampling. The study further explores the impact of viral mutation and control measures. Simulations demonstrate that vaccination substantially reduces transmission but may not eliminate it entirely. The strategy is more effective when vaccinated individuals are evenly distributed across the population, as opposed to concentrated on one side. The research further reveals that while reducing transmission probability decreases infections by implementing prevention protocols, it does not proportionally correlate with the reduction magnitude. This discrepancy is attributed to the intervention primarily addressing inter-host transmission dynamics without directly influencing intra-host viral dynamics.

    Stability and bifurcation in a two-patch commensal symbiosis model with nonlinear dispersal and additive Allee effect

    In this paper, a two-patch model with additive Allee effect, nonlinear dispersal and commensalism is proposed and studied. The stability of equilibria and the existence of saddle-node bifurcation, transcritical bifurcation are discussed. Through qualitative analysis of the model, we know that the persistence and the extinction of population are influenced by the Allee effect, dispersal and commensalism. Combining with numerical simulation, the study shows that the total population density will increase when the Allee effect constant a increases or m decreases. In addition to suppress the Allee effect, nonlinear dispersal and commensalism are crucial to the survival of the species in the two patches.

    Ecological and epidemiological ramification of fear: Exploring deterministic and stochastic dynamics in a predator–prey system with predator switching and harvesting

    In an ecosystem, harvesting infected prey can assist in managing and containing the spread of the illness within the prey species. On the other hand, the harvesting of predators can be beneficial as it regulates their numbers, preventing them from over-consuming prey and subsequently preserving existence of the prey population. This study introduces a predator–prey model that encompasses prey infection, predator–prey interactions influenced by fear, switching and harvesting. We derive an analytic expression for the basic reproduction number, a critical determinant of disease spread. We investigate the global stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria contingent on the basic reproduction number’s value, highlighting the potential for disease eradication by maintaining it below unity. In-depth analysis of the deterministic model is undertaken, with a focus on Hopf bifurcations that delineate thresholds for disease-free and endemic states. Furthermore, the deterministic model is extended to incorporate environmental stochasticity. We obtain the conditions under which population extinction occurs. Our findings elucidate how the intensity of environmental noise influences population dynamics, providing valuable insights into extinction risks under varying noise levels.

    Bifurcation in a single-species logistic model with addition Allee effect and fear effect-type feedback control

    In this paper, a single-species logistic model with both fear effect-type feedback control and additive Allee effect is developed and investigated using the new coronavirus as a feedback control variable. When the system introduces additive Allee effect and fear effect-type feedback control, more complicated dynamical behavior is obtained. The system can undergo transcritical bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, degenerate Hopf bifurcation and Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation. By numerical simulations, the system exhibits homoclinic bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation of limit cycles as parameters are altered. Remarkably, it is the first time that two limit cycles have been discovered in a single-species logistic model with the Allee effect. Further, stronger Allee effect or stronger fear effect can lead to the extinction of the species population.

    Dynamics of a discrete Rosenzweig–MacArthur predator–prey model with piecewise-constant arguments

    This paper investigates the dynamics of a new discrete form of the classical continuous Rosenzweig–MacArthur predator–prey model and the biological implications of the dynamics. The discretization method used here is to modify the continuous model to another with piecewise-constant arguments and then to integrate the modified model, which is quite different from the traditional Euler discretization method. First, the existence and local stability of fixed points have been thoroughly discussed. Then, all codimension-1 bifurcations have been studied, including the transcritical bifurcations at the trivial fixed point and the boundary fixed point, and the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation at the unique positive fixed point. Furthermore, it is proved that there are no codimension-2 bifurcations. Finally, the control of the bifurcations is studied. Regarding the biological significance, we have considered the following four aspects: When no harvesting effort is applied to both predators and prey, it is observed that providing more resources to the prey species leads to predator extinction, causing the ecosystem to lose stability. This implies that the paradox of enrichment occurs. When predators are harvested, the system exhibits the hydra effect, i.e. increasing the harvesting effort on predators will lead to an increase in the mean population density of predators. When the prey is harvested, numerical examples indicate that increasing the harvesting effort initially reduces prey density. Upon reaching the bifurcation point, prey density stabilizes while the predator density continues to decline. When both prey and predators are harvested, the biological significance is similar to the previous case. The outcomes of this paper have significant theoretical meaning in the study of population ecology. By MATLAB, the bifurcation diagrams, maximal Lyapunov exponent diagrams, phase portraits and mean population density curves are plotted. Numerical simulations not only show the correctness of the theoretical findings but also reveal many new and interesting dynamics.
