The progression of HIV infection to AIDS is unclear and under examined. Many mechanisms have been proposed, including a decline in immune response, increase in replication rate, involution of the thymus, syncytium inducing capacity, activation of the latently infected cell pool, chronic activation of the immune system, and the ability of the virus to infect other immune system cells. The significance of each mechanism in combination has not been studied. We develop a simple HIV viral dynamics model incorporating proposed mechanisms as parameters that are allowed to vary. In the entire parameter space, we derive two formulae for the basic reproduction number (R0) by considering the infection starting with a single infected CD4 T cell and a single virion, respectively. We show that both formulae are equivalent. We derive analytical conditions for the occurrence of backward and forward bifurcations. To investigate the influence of the proposed mechanisms to the HIV progression, we perform uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for all parameters and conduct a bifurcation analysis on all parameters that are shown to be significant, in combination, to explore various HIV/AIDS progression dynamics.
艾滋病毒感染到艾滋病的进展尚不清楚,尚待研究。许多机制被提出,包括免疫应答下降、复制速率增加、胸腺退化、合胞体诱导能力、潜伏感染细胞池的激活、免疫系统的慢性激活以及病毒感染其他免疫系统细胞的能力。每种机制联合作用的意义尚未得到研究。我们开发了一个简单的HIV病毒动力学模型,将提出的机制作为允许变化的参数。在整个参数空间中,我们分别从单个CD4 T细胞和单个病毒粒子开始考虑感染,推导出基本繁殖数(R0)的两个公式。我们证明两个公式是等价的。我们导出了前向分岔和后向分岔发生的解析条件。为了研究所提出的机制对HIV进展的影响,我们对所有参数进行了不确定性和敏感性分析,并对所有被证明是重要的参数进行了分岔分析,结合起来探索各种HIV/AIDS进展动态。

We will discuss how we obtain a solution to a semilinear pseudo-differential equation involving fractional power of laplacian by using a method analogous to the direct method of calculus of variations. More precisely, we will discuss the existence of a minimizer of a suitable energy type functional whose Euler-Lagrange equation is the given semilinear pseudo-differential equation, and also discuss the regularity of such a minimizer so that it will be a solution to the semilinear equation.

We describe a quasi-variable meshes implicit compact finite-difference discretization having an accuracy of order four in the spatial direction and second-order in the temporal direction for obtaining numerical solution values of generalized Burger’s-Huxley and Burger’s-Fisher equations. The new difference scheme is derived for a general one-dimension quasi-linear parabolic partial differential equation on a quasi-variable meshes network to the extent that the magnitude of local truncation error of the high-order compact scheme remains unchanged in case of uniform meshes network. Practically, quasi-variable meshes high-order compact schemes yield more precise solution compared with uniform meshes high-order schemes of the same magnitude. A detailed exposition of the new scheme has been introduced and discussed the Fourier analysis based stability theory. The computational results with generalized Burger’s-Huxley equation and Burger’s-Fisher equation are obtained using quasi-variable meshes high-order compact scheme and compared with a numerical solution using uniform meshes high-order schemes to demonstrate capability and accuracy.
我们描述了一种准变网格隐式紧致有限差分离散化,该离散化在空间方向上具有四阶精度,在时间方向上具有二阶精度,用于获得广义Burger’s-Huxley和Burger’s Fisher方程的数值解值。对于拟变网格网络上的一般一维拟线性抛物型偏微分方程,在均匀网格网络情况下,高阶紧致格式的局部截断误差大小不变的情况下,导出了新的差分格式。在实际应用中,与同等大小的均匀网格高阶格式相比,准变网格高阶紧致格式能得到更精确的解。对新方案进行了详细的阐述,并讨论了基于傅立叶分析的稳定性理论。利用拟变网格高阶紧致格式得到了广义Burger’s Huxley方程和Burger’s-Fisher方程的计算结果,并与均匀网格高阶格式的数值解进行了比较,以证明其计算能力和精度。

Non-local multiscale approaches for tumour-oncolytic viruses interactions 肿瘤-溶瘤病毒相互作用的非局部多尺度方法
Q4 MATHEMATICS, APPLIED Pub Date : 2020-09-27 DOI: 10.5206/MASE/10773

Oncolytic virus (OV) therapy is a promising treatment for cancer due to the OVs selective ability to infect and replicate inside cancer cells, thus killing them, without harming healthy cells. In this work, we present a new non-local multiscale moving boundary model for the spatio-temporal cancer-OV interactions. This model explores an important double feedback loop that links the macro-scale dynamics of cancer-virus interactions and the micro-scale dynamics of proteolytic activity taking place at the tumour interface. The cancer cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are assumed to be nonlocal, while the cell-virus interactions are assumed local. With the help of this model we investigate computationally various cancer treatment scenarios involving oncolytic viruses (i.e., the effect of injecting the OV inside the tumour, or outside it). Moreover, we investigate the effect of different cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction strengths on the success of OV spreading throughout the tumour, and the effect of constant or density-dependent virus diffusion coefficients on viral spread.
溶瘤病毒(OV)疗法是治疗癌症的一种很有前途的疗法,因为OV具有在癌症细胞内感染和复制的选择性能力,从而在不伤害健康细胞的情况下杀死它们。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个新的时空癌症-OV相互作用的非局部多尺度移动边界模型。该模型探索了一个重要的双反馈回路,该回路将癌症与病毒相互作用的宏观动力学和肿瘤界面发生的蛋白水解活性的微观动力学联系起来。假设癌症细胞-细胞和细胞-基质相互作用是非局部的,而假设细胞-病毒相互作用是局部的。在这个模型的帮助下,我们通过计算研究了涉及溶瘤病毒的各种癌症治疗方案(即,将OV注射到肿瘤内部或外部的效果)。此外,我们研究了不同细胞-细胞和细胞-基质相互作用强度对OV在整个肿瘤中成功传播的影响,以及恒定或密度依赖的病毒扩散系数对病毒传播的影响。

Dynamical analysis of a fractional order model incorporating fear in the disease transmission rate of COVID-19 新冠肺炎疾病传播率中包含恐惧的分数阶模型的动力学分析

This paper deals with a fractional-order three-dimensional compartmental model with fear effect. We have investigated whether fear can play an important role or not to spread and control the infectious diseases like COVID-19, SARS etc. in a bounded region. The basic results on uniqueness, non-negativity and boundedness of the solution of the system are investigated. Stability analysis ensures that the disease-free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable if carrying capacity greater than a certain threshold value.We have also derived the conditions for which endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable that means the disease persists in the system. Numerical simulation suggests that the fear factor is an important role which is observed through Hopf-bifurcation.

On mechanisms of trophic cascade caused by anti-predation response in food chain systems 食物链系统中反捕食反应引起的营养级联机制
Q4 MATHEMATICS, APPLIED Pub Date : 2020-06-18 DOI: 10.5206/mase/10739

Motivated by a recent field study [Nat. Commun. 7(2016), 10698] on the impact of fear of large carnivores on the populations in a cascading ecosystem of food chain type with the large carnivores as the top predator, in this paper we propose two model systems in the form of ordinary differential equations to mechanistically explore the cascade of such a fear effect. The models are of the Lotka-Volterra type, one is three imensional and the other four dimensional. The 3-D model only considers the cost of the anti-predation response reflected in the decrease of the production, while the 4-D model considers also the benefit of the response in reducing the predation rate, in addition to the cost by reducing the production. We perform a thorough analysis on the dynamics of the two models. The results reveal that the 3-D model and 4-model demonstrate opposite patterns for trophic cascade in terms of the dependence of population sizes for each species at the co-existence equilibrium on the anti-predation response level parameter, and such a difference is attributed to whether or not there is a benefit for the anti-predation response by the meso-carnivore species.
最近的一项实地研究[Nat. common . 7(2016), 10698]关于大型食肉动物的恐惧对食物链型级联生态系统中大型食肉动物作为顶级捕食者的种群的影响,在本文中,我们提出了两个常微分方程形式的模型系统,以机械地探索这种恐惧效应的级联。模型是Lotka-Volterra型,一个是三维的,另一个是四维的。三维模型只考虑了反捕食反应的成本,即产量的减少,而4d模型除了考虑减少产量的成本外,还考虑了响应在减少捕食率方面的收益。我们对这两个模型的动力学进行了彻底的分析。结果表明,3-D模型和4- d模型在共存平衡下各物种种群规模对反捕食反应水平参数的依赖性方面表现出相反的营养级联模式,这种差异归因于中食性物种的反捕食反应是否有利。

A mathematical model for the role of macrophages in the persistence and elimination of oncolytic viruses 巨噬细胞在溶瘤病毒的持续和消除中的作用的数学模型

Replicating oncolytic viruses provide promising treatment strategies against cancer. However, the success of these viral therapies depends mainly on the complex interactions between the virus particles and the host immune cells. Among these immune cells, macrophages represent one of the first line of defence against viral infections. In this paper, we consider a mathematical model that describes the interactions between a commonly-used oncolytic virus, the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV), and two extreme types of macrophages: the pro-inflammatory M1 cells (which seem to resist infection with VSV) and the anti-inflammatory M2 cells (which can be infected with VSV). We first show the existence of bounded solutions for this differential equations model. Then we investigate the long-term behaviour of the model by focusing on steady states and limit cycles, and study changes in this long-term dynamics as we vary different model parameters. Moreover, through sensitivity analysis we show that the parameters that have the highest impact on the level of virus particles in the system are the viral burst size (from infected macrophages), the virus infection rate, the M1$to$M2 polarisation rate, and the M1-induced anti-viral immunity. 
复制溶瘤病毒为癌症提供了有前景的治疗策略。然而,这些病毒疗法的成功主要取决于病毒颗粒和宿主免疫细胞之间的复杂相互作用。在这些免疫细胞中,巨噬细胞是抵御病毒感染的第一道防线之一。在本文中,我们考虑了一个数学模型,该模型描述了一种常用的溶瘤病毒——水泡性口炎病毒(VSV)和两种极端类型的巨噬细胞之间的相互作用:促炎M1细胞(似乎可以抵抗VSV感染)和抗炎M2细胞(可以感染VSV)。我们首先证明了这个微分方程模型有界解的存在性。然后,我们通过关注稳态和极限环来研究模型的长期行为,并研究当我们改变不同的模型参数时这种长期动力学的变化。此外,通过敏感性分析,我们发现对系统中病毒颗粒水平影响最大的参数是病毒爆发大小(来自受感染的巨噬细胞)、病毒感染率、M1$~$M2极化率和M1诱导的抗病毒免疫。

Modeling the impact of host resistance on structured tick population dynamics 模拟宿主抗性对结构蜱虫种群动态的影响

For a variety of tick species, the resistance, behavioural and immunological response of hosts has been reported in the biological literature but its impact on tick population dynamics has not been mathematically formulated and analyzed using dynamical models reflecting the full biological stages of ticks. Here we develop and simulate a delay differential equation model, with a particular focus on resistance resulting in grooming behaviour. We calculate the basic reproduction number using the spectral analysis of delay differential equations with positive feedback, and establish the existence and uniqueness of a positive equilibrium when the basic reproduction number exceeds unit. We also conduct numerical and sensitivity analysis about the dependence of this positive equilibrium on the the parameter relevant to grooming behaviour. We numerically obtain the relationship between grooming behaviour and equilibrium value at different stages.
对于各种蜱物种,宿主的抗性、行为和免疫反应已在生物学文献中报道,但其对蜱种群动态的影响尚未通过反映蜱完整生物学阶段的动力学模型进行数学公式化和分析。在这里,我们开发并模拟了一个延迟微分方程模型,特别关注导致梳理行为的阻力。利用正反馈时滞微分方程的谱分析方法计算了基本再现数,并在基本再现数超过单位时建立了正平衡的存在性和唯一性。我们还对这种正平衡对与梳理行为相关的参数的依赖性进行了数值和敏感性分析。我们从数值上获得了不同阶段梳理行为与平衡值之间的关系。

We numerically obtain the relationship between grooming behaviour and equilibrium value at different stages.","PeriodicalId":93797,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics in applied sciences and engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47181988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The law of mass action is used to govern interactions between susceptible and infected individuals in a variety of infectious disease models. However, the commonly used version is a simplification of the version originally used to describe chemical reactions. We reformulate a general disease model using the chemical-reaction definition of mass action incorporating both an altered transmission term and an altered recovery term in the form of positive exponents. We examine the long-term outcome as these exponents vary. For many scenarios, the reproduction number is either 0 or $infty$, while it obtains finite values only for certain combinations. We found conditions under which endemic equilibria exist and are unique for a variety of possible exponents. We also determined circumstances under which backward bifurcations are possible or do not occur. The simplified form of mass action may be masking generalised behaviour that may result in practice if these exponents ``fluctuate'' around 1. This may lead to a loss of predictability in some models.
质量作用定律用于控制各种传染病模型中易感个体和受感染个体之间的相互作用。然而,通常使用的版本是最初用于描述化学反应的版本的简化。我们使用质量作用的化学反应定义,将改变的传播项和改变的恢复项以正指数的形式结合起来,重新制定了一般疾病模型。我们考察了这些指数变化的长期结果。在许多情况下,复制数要么为0,要么为$infty$,而它仅对某些组合获得有限值。我们发现了地方性平衡存在的条件,并且对各种可能的指数都是唯一的。我们还确定了可能发生或不发生后向分岔的情况。质量作用的简化形式可能掩盖了如果这些指数在1附近“波动”可能导致的一般行为。这可能导致某些模型失去可预测性。
