Computational and analytical analysis of integral-differential equations for modeling avoidance learning behavior

Abstract

This work emphasizes the computational and analytical analysis of integral-differential equations, with a particular application in modeling avoidance learning processes. Firstly, we suggest an approach to determine a unique solution to the given model by employing methods from functional analysis and fixed-point theory. We obtain numerical solutions using the approach of Picard iteration and evaluate their stability in the context of minor perturbations. In addition, we explore the practical application of these techniques by providing two examples that highlight the thorough analysis of behavioral responses using numerical approximations. In the end, we examine the efficacy of our suggested ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for studying the avoidance learning behavior of animals. Furthermore, we investigate the convergence and error analysis of the proposed ODEs using multiple numerical techniques. This integration of theoretical and practical analysis enhances the domain of applied mathematics by providing important insights for behavioral science research.
