Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mathematical modeling is a universally deployed and highly effective tool for performing a wide range of scientific research, as well as for analyzing and predicting various phenomena and processes. In particular, the results of the implementation of mathematical modeling are the basis for the synthesis of computer simulations that simulate the real conditions and situations for the functioning of natural, technical, technological and socio-economic systems. The global and local problems of modern society, necessitate the development of models for their study and forecasting. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue of Axioms is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers around the world to present new results in the field of mathematical modeling.

We welcome authors to submit scientific articles that contain new results regarding the general methodology of mathematical modeling, and, especially, the results of applied research in the field of the synthesis of mathematical models based on the use of a set of real data on various objects, processes and phenomena (natural, technical and technological, economic, social, information, etc.). In applied mathematical models, it is necessary to pay attention to the issues of ensuring the adequacy of models to real data.

In general, we plan to consider a wide range of modern problems regarding mathematical modeling and hope authors will engage in this rich scientific discussion.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

In this study, we present the generalized form of the higher-order nonlinear fractional Bratu-type equation. In this generalization, we deal with a generalized fractional derivative, which is quite useful from an application point of view. Furthermore, some special cases of the generalized fractional Bratu equation are recognized and examined. To solve these nonlinear differential equations of fractional order, we employ the homotopy perturbation transform method. This work presents a useful computational method for solving these equations and advances our understanding of them. We also plot some numerical outcomes to show the efficiency of the obtained results. Full article

We present a mathematical model that captures the dynamics of the immune system during allergic reactions. Using delay differential equations, we depict the evolution of T cells, APCs, and IL6, considering cell migration between various body compartments. The biological discussions and interpretations within the article revolve around drug desensitization, highlighting one potential application of the model. We conduct stability analysis on certain equilibrium points, demonstrating stability in some cases and only partial stability in others. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical findings.

This manuscript is related to undertaking a mathematical model (susceptible, vaccinated, infected, and recovered) of rotavirus. Some qualitative results are established for the mentioned challenging childhood disease epidemic model of rotavirus as it spreads across a population with a heterogeneous rate. The proposed model is investigated using a novel approach of fractal calculus. We compute the boundedness positivity of the solution of the proposed model. Additionally, the basic reproduction ratio and its sensitivity analysis are also performed. The global stability of the endemic equilibrium point is also confirmed graphically using some available values of initial conditions and parameters. Sufficient conditions are deduced for the existence theory, the Ulam–Hyers (UH) stability. Specifically, the numerical approximate solution of the rotavirus model is investigated using efficient numerical methods. Graphical presentations are presented corresponding to a different fractional order to understand the transmission dynamics of the mentioned disease. Furthermore, researchers have examined the impact of lowering the risk of infection on populations that are susceptible and have received vaccinations, producing some intriguing results. We also present a numerical illustration taking the stochastic derivative of the proposed model graphically. Researchers may find this research helpful as it offers insightful information about using numerical techniques to model infectious diseases. Full article

The behavior of e-commerce platforms using big data algorithms to implement “big data killing” is not only rejected by regular customers, but also creates many difficulties for supervision by relevant government departments. In order to study how to curb the price discrimination behavior of e-commerce platforms in the case of taking regular customers as the leaders, this paper introduces the right to data portability and considers two types of regular customers with high price sensitivity and low price sensitivity. Then, we build a Bayesian game model between e-commerce platforms and regular customers on the basis of the established general game model. Our experiments show that when the reuse value coefficient of personal data is high, the e-commerce platform will choose a uniform pricing strategy, which indicates that the right to data portability can curb the price discrimination behavior of the e-commerce platform to a certain extent. Moreover, when the proportion of high-sensitivity consumers among regular customers increases, e-commerce platforms will be prompted to choose the uniform pricing strategy, which indicates that consumers can curb price discrimination behaviour on e-commerce platforms by increasing their sensitivity for price change.

In veins, clotting initiation displays a threshold response to flow intensity and injury size. Mathematical models can provide insights into the conditions leading to clot growth initiation under flow for specific subjects. However, it is hard to determine the thrombin generation curves that favor coagulation initiation in a fast manner, especially when considering a wide range of conditions related to flow and injury size. In this work, we propose to address this challenge by using a neural network model trained with the numerical simulations of a validated 2D model for clot formation. Our surrogate model approximates the results of the 2D simulations, reaching an accuracy of 94% on the test dataset. We used the trained artificial neural network to determine the threshold for thrombin generation parameters that alter the coagulation initiation response under varying flow speed and injury size conditions. Our model predictions show that increased levels of the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) and peak thrombin concentration increase the likelihood of coagulation initiation, while an elevated time to peak decreases coagulation. The lag time has a small effect on coagulation initiation, especially when the injury size is small. Our surrogate model can be considered as a proof-of-concept of a tool that can be deployed to estimate the risk of bleeding in specific patients based on their Thrombin Generation Assay results.
