Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mathematical modelling is a powerful scientific method. This method is the main method for studying physical laws. From physics, the method of mathematical modelling has spread to other areas of science. But the language of mathematics is only one of the languages for implementing models. With the development of computers, new types of modelling have appeared: simulation modelling, surrogate modelling. Furthermore, to describe the same phenomenon, it is possible to use not one model, but a whole ensemble of models. This kind of approach, when different realizations of models and ensembles of models are applied, we call the multi-model approach.

This Special Issue focuses on the use of current advances in mathematical modelling in aspects of research and application of the multi-model approach. Besides, we consider various combined aspects of model investigation, for example, a combination of analytical and numerical research methods. We invite you to contribute and submit your latest research work.

The problems of synthesis and analysis of multidimensional controlled models of population dynamics are of both theoretical and applied interest. The need to solve numerical optimization problems for such a class of models is associated with the expansion of ecosystem control requirements. The need to solve the problem of stochastization is associated with the emergence of new problems in the study of ecological systems properties under the influence of random factors. The aim of the work is to develop a new approach to studying the properties of population dynamics systems using methods of numerical optimization, stochastization and machine learning. The synthesis problems of nonlinear three-dimensional models of interconnected species number dynamics, taking into account trophic chains and competition in prey populations, are studied. Theorems on the asymptotic stability of equilibrium states are proved. A qualitative and numerical study of the models is carried out. Using computational experiments, the results of an analytical stability and permanent coexistence study are verified. The search for equilibrium states belonging to the stability and permanent coexistence region is made using the developed intelligent algorithm and evolutionary calculations. The transition is made from the model specified by the vector ordinary differential equation to the corresponding stochastic model. A comparative analysis of deterministic and stochastic models with competition and trophic chains is carried out. New effects are revealed that are characteristic of three-dimensional models, taking into account the competition in populations of prey. The formulation of the optimal control problem for a model with competition and trophic chains is proposed. To find optimal trajectories, new generalized algorithms for numerical optimization are developed. A methods for the synthesis of controllers based on the use of artificial neural networks and machine learning are developed. The results on the search for optimal trajectories and generation of control functions are presented.The obtained results can be used in modeling problems of ecological, demographic, socio-economic and chemical kinetics systems.

A new approach to the construction of difference schemes of any order for the many-body problem that preserves all its algebraic integrals is proposed herein. We introduced additional variables, namely distances and reciprocal distances between bodies, and wrote down a system of differential equations with respect to the coordinates, velocities, and the additional variables. In this case, the system lost its Hamiltonian form, but all the classical integrals of motion of the many-body problem under consideration, as well as new integrals describing the relationship between the coordinates of the bodies and the additional variables are described by linear or quadratic polynomials in these new variables. Therefore, any symplectic Runge–Kutta scheme preserves these integrals exactly. The evidence for the proposed approach is given. To illustrate the theory, the results of numerical experiments for the three-body problem on a plane are presented with the choice of initial data corresponding to the motion of the bodies along a figure of eight (choreographic test).

Stochastic parameter estimation and inversion have become increasingly popular in recent years. Nowadays, it is computationally reasonable and regular to solve complex inverse problems within the Bayesian framework. Applications of Bayesian inferences for inverse problems require investigation of the posterior distribution, which usually has a complex landscape and is highly dimensional. In these cases, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods (MCMC) are often used. This paper discusses a Bayesian approach for identifying adsorption and desorption rates in combination with a pore-scale reactive flow. Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling is used to estimate adsorption and desorption rates. The reactive transport in porous media is governed by incompressible Stokes equations, coupled with convection–diffusion equation for species’ transport. Adsorption and desorption are accounted via Robin boundary conditions. The Henry isotherm is considered for describing the reaction terms. The measured concentration at the outlet boundary is provided as additional information for the identification procedure. Metropolis–Hastings and Adaptive Metropolis algorithms are implemented. Credible intervals have been plotted from sampled posterior distributions for both algorithms. The impact of the noise in the measurements and influence of several measurements for Bayesian identification procedure is studied. Sample analysis using the autocorrelation function and acceptance rate is performed to estimate mixing of the Markov chain. As result, we conclude that MCMC sampling algorithm within the Bayesian framework is good enough to determine an admissible set of parameters via credible intervals. Full article
