This article establishes an efficient solution scheme for a mathematical model of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT) employing artificial neural networks. HT is an auto-immune disorder hostile to the thyroid follicle cells, effectuating hypothyroid or hyperthyroidism. Under this condition, the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) alters incomparably to the free thyroxine (FT4) interrupts the functioning of the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, implicating the thyroid follicle cells getting destroyed. We primarily focus on utilizing artificial neural network (ANN) to perform numerical simulations for the system of ordinary differential equations describing the dynamics of an existing 4D model of HT. The presented model comprises four time-dependent variables: TSH, FT4, anti-thyroid antibodies (Ab), and size of the thyroid gland (T). We utilize ND-Solver and ANN scheme in the Mathematica software to acquire the computational data and illustrate thus retrieved results with essential performance plots. Further, mean square error has been considered in validating the proposed ANN-based approach accurately. The plot for training and validation loss exhibits the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, and substantiate that the suggested ANN approach is a good fit for the solving the mathematical model of HT.
本文利用人工神经网络建立了桥本氏甲状腺炎(HT)数学模型的高效求解方案。桥本氏甲状腺炎是一种敌视甲状腺滤泡细胞的自身免疫性疾病,可导致甲状腺功能减退或亢进。在这种情况下,促甲状腺激素(TSH)与游离甲状腺素(FT4)会发生巨大变化,从而干扰下丘脑-垂体-甲状腺轴(HPT)的功能,导致甲状腺滤泡细胞遭到破坏。我们主要侧重于利用人工神经网络(ANN)对描述现有 HT 四维模型动态的常微分方程系统进行数值模拟。该模型由四个随时间变化的变量组成:TSH、FT4、抗甲状腺抗体(Ab)和甲状腺大小(T)。我们利用 Mathematica 软件中的 ND-Solver 和 ANN 方案获取计算数据,并用基本性能图说明检索结果。此外,我们还考虑了均方误差,以准确验证所提出的基于 ANN 的方法。训练和验证损失图显示了所建议方法的有效性,并证明所建议的方差网络方法非常适合 HT 数学模型的求解。

In this paper, we consider a pest-natural enemy model with additional food, pest-taxis and degeneracy. Firstly, in view of the regularity theory of elliptic equations and maximum principle, the asymptotic behaviors of positive solutions are investigated. We verify that when the maximum number of natural enemies that a unit volume can accommodate (caused by pest-taxis) is sufficiently large, or the quality or quantity of additional food is very poor or large, respectively, the model admits pest-free solution. Then, based on the bifurcation theory and stability theory, the existence and stability of bifurcation solutions are discussed. We obtain that the combination of additional food, pest-taxis and degeneracy can induce model to produce new positive solutions. Finally, we depict the control regions of pests by the bifurcation results. From a biological point of view, these results show that the combined introduction of additional food, pest-taxis and degeneracy not only induces model to generate new dynamics, but also has significant implications in controlling and eliminating pests.

Prudent predators may evolve a strategy of prudent feed at a suitable rate, which is detrimental to their survival, but would not overexploit the prey thus is beneficial to the sustainability of resources. In this paper, by introducing a prey-dependent predation rate function, a two prey and one predator system with prudent predation is established, and the dynamics of the system as well as its subsystems are investigated. The existence and stability of the equilibrium are analyzed and the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation is studied. Numerical simulations are carried out to verify the analytical results and expand the theoretical analyses: (i) In the subsystems, it is possible to have multiple Hopf bifurcation points and prudence acts as a stabilizing factor; (ii) Suitable level of prudence will benefit the predator while sustaining the prey; (iii) Prudent predation can stabilize the system from chaos, which means chaotic dynamics can be controlled by the prudent predation. These results may reveal the important role of predator initiative in predator–prey interactions and enrich the dynamics of predator–prey system.

This article implements a numerical method for the minimization under constraints of a discrete energy modelling multicomponents rotating Bose–Einstein condensates in the regime of strong confinement and with rotation. Moreover, this method allows to consider both segregation and coexistence regimes between the components. The method includes a discretization of a continuous energy in space dimension 2 and a gradient algorithm with adaptive time step and projection for the minimization. It is well known that, depending on the regime, the minimizers may display different structures, sometimes with vorticity (from singly quantized vortices, to vortex sheets and giant holes). The goal of this paper is to study numerically the structures of the minimizers. In order to do so, we introduce a numerical algorithm for the computation of the indices of the vortices, as well as an algorithm for the computation of the indices of vortex sheets. Several computations are carried out, to illustrate the efficiency of the method, to cover different physical cases, to validate recent theoretical results as well as to support conjectures. Moreover, we compare this method with an alternative method from the literature.

Biological growth curves are pivotal in predicting natural growth across disciplines, typically analyzed using nonlinear least squares or maximum likelihood methods. Bhowmick et al. (2014) introduced the interval-specific rate of parameters (ISRP) for growth equations, improving the estimation of relative growth rate (RGR) and model selection accuracy. Despite its effectiveness, computing these model-specific RGR estimates involves complex calculations and lacks explicit expressions for many nonlinear models. Also, for highly nonlinear models and non-monotonic data where the parameters are non-linearly related, the computation of interval estimates is almost impossible and may suffer from significant approximation errors. So, the need for a more efficient computation method for ISRP remains a significant challenge in growth studies. In this article, we propose a computational approach to obtain interval estimates of parameters based on the maximum likelihood estimation method. The likelihood function is maximized using the data on smaller intervals. Our study underscores the importance of an efficient ISRP computation technique, providing a more stable, unbiased, and normally distributed estimator. The most important advantage is that it can be implemented using existing optimizers in software packages efficiently, therefore, giving more accessibility to the practitioners. Both simulation studies and real data analysis have been carried out to validate the proposed estimation process. Additionally, its applicability to non-monotonic growth profiles and its robustness in handling highly non-linear growth equations highlight its versatility. We also developed a web application GpEM-R which is freely available for researchers and practitioners to analyze growth data.

In this paper, the issue of sliding-mode surface (SMS)-based fixed-time adaptive tracking control under the framework of critic network is considered for the zero-sum game of switched nonlinear systems. Firstly, the tracking error and reference trajectory are combined to construct an augmented system, which transforms the optimal tracking control issue into a basic optimal regulation issue. Meanwhile, sliding mode control technology is introduced to improve the robustness and response speed of the system. Subsequently, a special cost function associated with SMS is developed to find a series of optimal control strategies. Besides, the numerical solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation is acquired based on a single-critic network architecture. Then, convergence of the tracking error in fixed time and boundedness of the closed-loop signals are strictly proved via the fixed-time stability theory. Finally, the feasibility and optimality of the developed control scheme are verified by two simulation examples.

Meanwhile, sliding mode control technology is introduced to improve the robustness and response speed of the system. Subsequently, a special cost function associated with SMS is developed to find a series of optimal control strategies. Besides, the numerical solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation is acquired based on a single-critic network architecture. Then, convergence of the tracking error in fixed time and boundedness of the closed-loop signals are strictly proved via the fixed-time stability theory. Finally, the feasibility and optimality of the developed control scheme are verified by two simulation examples.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"229 ","pages":"Pages 78-95"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
