Chagas disease is a zoonosis caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by a broad range of blood-sucking triatomine species. Recently, it is recognized that the parasite can also be transmitted by host ingestion. In this paper, we propose a Chagas disease model incorporating two transmission routes of biting-defecation and host predation between vectors and hosts with Holling II functional response. The basic reproduction number R_v of triatomine population and basic reproduction numbers R_0 of disease population are derived analytically, and it is shown that they are insufficient to serve as threshold quantities to determine dynamics of the model. Our results have revealed the phenomenon of bistability, with backward and forward bifurcations. Specifically, if R_v>1, the dynamic is rather simple, namely, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable as R_0<1 and a unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable as R_0>1. However, if R_v<1, there exists a backward bifurcation with one unstable and one stable positive vector equilibria, and bistability phenomenon occurs, revealing that different initial conditions may lead to disease extinction or persistence even if the corresponding R_0>1. In conclusion, predation transmission in general reduces the risk of Chagas disease, whilst it makes the complexity of Chagas disease transmission, requiring an integrated strategy for the prevention and control of Chagas disease.

SARS-CoV-2 can survive in different environments and remain infectious for several days, which presents challenges to eliminating infectious diseases. It encourages researchers to study the effects of SARS CoV-2 on the environment. In this paper, we formulate an epidemic model for SARS-CoV-2, which focuses on the transmission of the virus under environmental conditions. Two distributed delays are introduced to describe the probability of the exposed and infected individuals in different infection periods based on the transmission of the virus in the environment. Th positivity and boundedness of solutions of model are derived. The basic reproduction number threshold theory is established and the results demonstrate that the persistence of COVID-19 depends on the basic reproduction number. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the theoretical results. Some measures are proposed to control and eliminate COVID-19 infectious diseases.

Most biological populations reside in landscapes that consist of many different patches of different quality. Different species differ in their movement behavior, habitat preference and growth rates. Historically, mathematical models for population dynamics have made many simplifying assumptions, such as a single patch or homogeneous landscapes. Recent models have begun to implement landscape heterogeneity and individual movement characteristics, but many of those are based on logistic growth and linear analysis of the zero state. We consider a two-patch model with more general growth functions that can include Allee effects. We prove the existence of steady states and classify their qualitative behavior. In some special cases, we explicitly calculate their stability and use these results to give conditions for when the system exhibits bistability, i.e., the coexistence of locally stable states. We also study bifurcations with respect to the size of habitat patches and give conditions for forward and backward bifurcations.

Rough set concept is a methodology of information processing for relational databases. It is a unique uncertainty mathematics topic closely connected to fuzzy set theory. When the rough set is combined with neutrosophic set theory, an effective tool for working with indeterminacy arises. In this study, we defined a multi-valued rough neutrosophic set and a multi-valued rough neutrosophic matrix. Using separation measures, we introduced a new approach for a multi-valued neutrosophic with a rough structure. We consider the problem of determining the condition of dengue-affected patients in a specific hospital. Using this method, we create a multi-valued rough neutrosophic decision matrix that clearly displays the relationship between patient conditions and symptoms. We can determine which one has a serious condition by solving this problem and presenting it on the graph.

We study a reaction-diffusion system which models the pre-mixed isothermal autocatalytic chemical reaction of order m (m > 1) between two chemical species, a reactant A and an auto-catalyst B, A + m B --> (m+1) B, and a linear decay B -->C, where C is an inert product. The special case of m = 2 is the much studied Gray-Scott model, but without feeding. We prove existence of multiple traveling waves which have distinctive number of local maximaor peaks. It shows a new and very distinctive feature of Gray-Scott type of models in generating rich and structurally different traveling pulses than related models in literature such as isothermal autocatalysis without decay, or a bio-reactor model with isothermal autocatalysis of order m + 1 with m-th order of decay.

In this paper, an optimal actuator placement problem, with a linear wave equation as the constraint, is considered. In particular, this work presents the framework for finding the best location of actuators depending upon the given initial conditions, and where the dependence on the initial conditions is averaged out. The problem is motivated by the need to control vibrations induced by pedestrian-bridge interactions. An approach based on the shape optimization techniques is used to solve the problem. Specifically, the shape sensitivities involving a cost functional are determined using the averaged adjoint approach. A numerical algorithm based on these sensitivities is used as a solution strategy. Numerical tests illustrate the theoretical results.

Water is a basic part of our daily lives, as such effective water supply is of paramount importance. Thus, as a result of the rise in population size and water shortage there is the need for proper, suitable and optimal utilization of water resources to efficiently be distributed among the populace. The proper allocation and distribution of water in the field of network planning need to be modelled through mathematical parameters for objective of water distribution system. This mathematical approach requires of solving an optimization problem based on multi-objective function subjected to certain constraints of mixed integer linear programming objective function which is proportional to the cost of the water distribution network. This study present a conceptual model of multi-objective optimization proposed for determination of design parameters of water distribution system by considering the significant number of constraints, decision variables, cost and reliability objective functions. The model was proposed to solve the reliability problem of water production and reduce the design and operational costs.

Relation between species and their livelihood environment in ecological systems is very complex. For that reason, in order to study predator-prey relations, modeling is essential in biomathematics. The vital components of predator-prey models are prey species' growth function in the absence of apredator and the functional response. In this article, we proposed a predator-prey model with gregarious prey. In the existing literature, square-root functional response incorporates the gregarious behavior of prey. This study considers the generalized square root functional response and theta-logistic growth of prey in the absence of a predator. The effect of functional response parameters on stability, limit cycle, and Hopf bifurcation on the proposed model has been discussed. Numerical analysis is performed on the basis of some hypothetical parameter values to analyze the model numerically.
