Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a call for submissions to a Special Issue titled "Mathematical Modelling of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems". We invite our colleagues, friends, and other researchers in the field of nonlinear dynamical systems to contribute their latest research findings, reviews, and insightful perspectives. The aim is to bring together cutting-edge research that addresses the complexities and challenges associated with the mathematical modeling of nonlinear dynamical systems across various fields. Additionally, this Special Issue welcomes works on fractional calculus, which has emerged as a powerful tool for modeling complex phenomena characterized by nonlocality and long-memory effects, as well as its wide-ranging applications in engineering, physics, biology, economics, and other disciplines. This issue aims to provide a platform for disseminating innovative research that advances our understanding of the behavior, control, and optimization of nonlinear dynamical systems.

Poverty is a multifaceted phenomenon impacting millions globally, defined by a deficiency in both material and immaterial resources, which consequently restricts access to satisfactory living conditions. Comprehensive poverty analysis can be accomplished through the application of mathematical and modeling techniques, which are useful in understanding and predicting poverty trends. These models, which often incorporate principles from economics, stochastic processes, and dynamic systems, enable the assessment of the factors influencing poverty and the effectiveness of public policies in alleviating it. This paper introduces a mathematical compartmental model to investigate poverty within a population (ψ(t)), considering the effects of immigration, crime, and incarceration. The model aims to elucidate the interconnections between these factors and their combined impact on poverty levels. We begin the study by ensuring the mathematical validity of the model by demonstrating the uniqueness of a positive solution. Next, it is shown that under specific conditions, the probability of poverty persistence approaches certainty. Conversely, conditions leading to an exponential reduction in poverty are identified. Additionally, the semigroup associated with our model is proven to possess the Feller property, and its distribution has a unique invariant measure. To confirm and validate these theoretical results, interesting numerical simulations are performed. Full article

Brownian motion has been studied since 1827, leading to numerous important advances in many branches of science and to it being studied primarily as a stochastic dynamical system. In this paper, we present a deterministic model for the Brownian motion for a particle in a constant force field based on the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model. By adding one degree of freedom, the system evolves into three differential equations. This change in the model is based on the Jerk equation with commutation surfaces and is analyzed in three cases: overdamped, critically damped, and underdamped. The dynamics of the proposed model are compared with classical results using a random process with normal distribution, where despite the absence of a stochastic component, the model preserves key Brownian motion characteristics, which are lost in stochastic models, giving a new perspective to the study of particle dynamics under different force fields. This is validated by a linear average square displacement and a Gaussian distribution of particle displacement in all cases. Furthermore, the correlation properties are examined using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) for compared cases, which confirms that the model effectively replicates the essential behaviors of Brownian motion that the classic models lose.
