The objective of this work was to investigate the dynamics of host–parasitoid model with spatial refuge effect. For this, two discrete host–parasitoid models were considered under spatial refuge effect. Suppose that a constant population of hosts may seek refuge and protection from an attack of parasitoids. We found the parametric factors affecting the existence of the equilibrium points and uniqueness of equilibrium points. A local stability analysis of host–parasitoid models was also carried out. Bifurcation theory was used to observe that the host–parasitoid models undergo Neimark–Sacker bifurcation. The effect of the existence of constant refuge effect on the local stability and bifurcation of models was also explored. Hybrid chaos control methodology was used to control the chaotic behavior of model. In addition, numerical simulations, bifurcation diagrams, and phase portraits of the models are also presented.

We consider the initial-boundary value problem of reaction-diffusion-advection that has a solution of a front form. The statement comes from the theory of wave physics. We study the question of the solution stabilizing to the stationary one. Proof of the stabilization theorem is based on the concepts of upper and lower solutions and corollaries from comparison theorems. The upper and lower solutions with large gradients are constructed as modifications of the formal moving front asymptotic approximation in a small parameter. The main idea of the proof is to show that the upper and lower solutions of the initial-boundary value problem get into the attraction domain of the asymptotically stable stationary solution on a sufficiently large time interval. The study conducted in this work gives an answer about the non-local attraction domain of the stationary solution and can give some stationing criteria. The results are illustrated by computational examples. Full article

For the purpose of solving elliptic partial differential equations, we suggest a new approach using an h-adaptive local discontinuous Galerkin approximation based on Sinc points. The adaptive approach, which uses Poly-Sinc interpolation to achieve a predetermined level of approximation accuracy, is a local discontinuous Galerkin method. We developed an a priori error estimate and demonstrated the exponential convergence of the Poly-Sinc-based discontinuous Galerkin technique, as well as the adaptive piecewise Poly-Sinc method, for function approximation and ordinary differential equations. In this paper, we demonstrate the exponential convergence in the number of iterations of the a priori error estimate derived for the local discontinuous Galerkin technique under the condition that a reliable estimate of the precise solution of the partial differential equation at the Sinc points exists. For the purpose of refining the computational domain, we employ a statistical strategy. The numerical results for elliptic PDEs with Dirichlet and mixed Neumann-Dirichlet boundary conditions are demonstrated to validate the adaptive greedy Poly-Sinc approach. Full article

Block hybrid methods with intra-step points are considered in this study. These methods are implemented to solve linear and nonlinear single and systems of first order differential equations. The stability, convergence, and accuracy of the proposed methods are qualitatively investigated through the absolute and residual error analysis in some selected cases. A number of different numerical examples are tested to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed methods. In this study we also implement the proposed methods to solve chaotic systems such as the Glukhvsky–Dolzhansky system, producing very comparable results to those already in the literature.

-compact Hausdorff preordered topological spaces. In particular, we show that a preorder on a locally and

-compact Hausdorff topological space has a continuous multi-utility representation if, and only if, for every compact subspace, every continuous order-preserving function can be lifted to the entire space. Such a characterization is also presented by introducing a lifting property of ≾-C-compatible continuous order-preserving functions on closed subspaces. The assumption of paracompactness is also used in connection to lifting conditions. Full article

In this study, we developed an autonomous non-linear epidemic model for the transmission dynamics of susceptible, vaccinated, infected, and recovered individuals (SVIR model) with non-linear saturation incidence and vaccination rates. The non-linear saturation incidence rate significantly reduces the death ratio of infected individuals by increasing human immunity. We discuss a detailed explanation of the model equilibrium, its basic reproduction number

R_{0},

local stability, and global stability. The disease-free equilibrium is observed to be stable if

R_{0} < 1

, while the endemic equilibrium exists and the disease exists permanently in the population if

R_{0} > 1

. To approximate the solution of the model, the well-known Runge–Kutta (RK4) methodology is utilized. The implications of numerous parameters on the population dynamics of susceptible, vaccinated, infected, and recovered individuals are addressed. We discovered that increasing the value of the disease-included death rate

ψ

has a negative impact on those affected, while it has a positive impact on other populations. Furthermore, the value of interaction between vaccinated and infected

λ_{2}

has a decreasing impact on vulnerable and vaccinated people, while increasing in other populations. On the other hand, the model is solved using Euler and Euler-modified techniques, and the results are compared numerically and graphically. The quantitative computations demonstrate that the RK4 method provides very precise solutions compared to the other approaches. The results show that the suggested SVIR model that approximates the solution method is accurate and useful. Full article

This study deals with the numerical solution of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection model, which is a significant problem for global public health. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a communicable disease, and HIV is the causative agent for AIDS, which damages the ability of the body to fight against disease and easily usual innocuous infections attack the body. On entering the body, HIV infects a large amount of CD4+ T-cells and disturbs the supply rate of these cells from the thymus. Herein, we consider the model with variable source terms in which the production of these cells is a monotonically decreasing function of viral load. Based on the reproduction number, we describe the stability of free equilibrium. The continuous Galerkin–Petrov method, in particular the cGP(2)-method, is implemented to determine the numerical solutions of the model. The influence of different parameters on the population dynamics of healthy/infected CD4+ T-cells and free HIV particles are examined, and the results are presented graphically. On the other hand, the model is solved using the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method, and briefly, the RK4-method, and the results of the proposed schemes are compared with those obtained from other classical schemes such as the Bessel collocation method (BCM), Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM), perturbation iteration algorithm (PIA), modified variational iteration method (MVIM), differential transform method (DTM), and exponential Galerkin method (EGM), numerically. Furthermore, absolute errors relative to the RK4 method are computed to describe the accuracy of the proposed scheme. It is presented that the cGP(2)-method gains accurate results at larger time step sizes in comparison with the results of the aforementioned methods. The numerical and graphical comparison reveals that the proposed scheme yields more accurate results relative to other traditional schemes from the literature. Full article

Marine debris is an important environmental problem that affects aquatic animals, ecosystems, economy, society, and humans. This research aims to simulate the path of marine debris in the Gulf of Thailand using a mathematical model that includes two models: the Oceanic Model (OCM), which is based on the Shallow Water Equations (SWE), and the Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) model. The OCM is the partial derivative equation system solved by the finite difference method to satisfy the Arakawa C-grid and the splitting method. The LPT model includes the current velocity, wind velocity at 10 m above sea level, random walk term, and the buoyancy ratio of marine debris with six cases, which are 100:1, 10:1, 1:1, 0:1, 1:10, and 1:100. The current velocity from OCM is applied to the LPT model. This research uses a garbage boat that capsized near Koh Samui on 1 August 2020 as a case study. The simulated current velocity of OCM is compared with Ocean Surface Current Analyses Real-time (OSCAR) data. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of u-velocity is 0.070 m/s, and that of v-velocity is 0.058 m/s. The simulation of the marine debris’s path from the LPT model demonstrates the movement to Koh Samui, Koh Taen, Koh Wang Nai, Koh Wang Nok, Koh Rap, the east coast of Nakorn Si Thammarat province, Phu Quoc Island of Vietnam and the middle of the Gulf of Thailand with the different buoyancy ratios and time durations.

This study focuses on investigating the modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation that is used to model the long wave in nonlinear dispersive media of the optical illusion field. Two effective techniques, the variational direct method and He’s frequency formulation method, are employed to seek the travelling wave solutions. Using these two techniques, abundant exact solutions such as the bright wave, bright-dark wave, bright-like wave, kinky-bright wave and periodic wave solutions, are obtained. The 3-D contours and 2-D curves are drawn to present the dynamic physical behaviors of the solutions by assigning the proper parameters. It shows that the proposed methods are effective but simple and only need one or two steps to construct the exact solutions, which are expected to provide some new insights to study the travelling wave solutions of the PDEs arising in physics.
