Structural Stability Analysis in a Dynamic IS-LM-AS Macroeconomic Model with Inflation Expectations

In this article, we carry out the structural analysis of an IS-LM-AS macroeconomic model with adaptive inflation expectations, exploring the presence of a possible local bifurcation. We prove that the model is structurally unstable when the speed with which economic agents adjust their expectations about future inflation is equal to the inverse of the semi-elasticity of real money demand with respect to the nominal interest rate since the periodic solutions are lost when the adaptive expectations parameter suffer any small change, ceteris paribus. Additionally, the phase portraits of the instantaneous rate of change of the real interest rate, the inflation rate, and the instantaneous rate of change of the inflation rate are numerically simulated in with MATLAB for three asymptotically and locally stable cases and for the degenerate Hopf bifurcation. Finally, our results show that, specifically, in the case of pure conjugate complex eigenvalues, the economy could enter periods of an inflationary/deflationary spiral when the adaptive expectations parameter is of greater magnitude to the inverse of the semi-elasticity of real money demand balances with respect to the nominal interest rate, regardless of its initial state.

Mathematical Modelling of the Spatial Epidemiology of COVID-19 with Different Diffusion Coefficients

This paper addresses the discrepancy between model findings and field data obtained and how it is minimized using the binning smoothing techniques: means, medians, and boundaries. Employing both the quantitative and the qualitative methods to examine the complex pattern involved in COVID-19 transmission dynamics reveals model variation and provides a boundary signature for the potential of the disease’s future spread across the country. To better understand the main underlying factor responsible for the epidemiology of COVID-19 infection in Ghana, the continuous inflow of foreigners, both with and without the disease, was incorporated into the classical Susceptible-Exposed-Quarantined-Recovered model, which revealed the spread of the COVID-19 by these foreigners. Also, the diffusion model provided therein gives a threshold condition for the spatial spread of the COVID-19 infection in Ghana. Following the introduction of a new method for the construction of the Lyapunov function for global stability of the nonlinear system of ODEs was observed, overcoming the problem of guessing for the Lyapunov function.

Dynamical Behaviours of Stage-Structured Fractional-Order Prey-Predator Model with Crowley–Martin Functional Response

In this paper, the dynamic behaviour of the stage-structure prey-predator fractional-order derivative system is considered and discussed. In this model, the Crowley–Martin functional response describes the interaction between mature preys with a predator. The existence, uniqueness, non-negativity, and the boundedness of solutions are proved. All possible equilibrium points of this system are investigated. The sufficient conditions of local stability of equilibrium points for the considered system are determined. Finally, numerical simulation results are carried out to confirm the theoretical results.

Applications of Two Methods in Exact Wave Solutions in the Space-Time Fractional Drinfeld–Sokolov–Wilson System

The fractional differential equations (FDEs) are ubiquitous in mathematically oriented scientific fields, such as physics and engineering. Therefore, FDEs have been the focus of many studies due to their frequent appearance in several applications such as physics, engineering, signal processing, systems identification, sound, heat, diffusion, electrostatics and fluid mechanics, and other sciences. The perusal of these nonlinear physical models through wave solutions analysis, corresponding to their FDEs, has a dynamic role in applied sciences. In this paper, the exp-function method and the rational -expansion method are presented to establish the exact wave solutions of the space-time fractional Drinfeld–Sokolov–Wilson system in the sense of the conformable fractional derivative. The fractional Drinfeld–Sokolov–Wilson system contains fractional derivatives of the unknown function in terms of all independent variables. This system describes the shallow water wave models in fluid mechanics. These presented methods are a powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear conformable fractional evolution equations in various fields of applied sciences, especially in physics.

On Hilfer-Type Fractional Impulsive Differential Equations

Using the Schauder fixed point theorem, we prove the existence of impulsive fractional differential equations using Hilfer fractional derivative and nearly sectorial operators in this paper. We’ve gone over the two scenarios where the related semigroup is compact and noncompact for this purpose. We also go over an example to back up the main points.

Positive Invertibility of Matrices and Exponential Stability of Linear Stochastic Systems with Delay

The work addresses the exponential moment stability of solutions of large systems of linear differential Itô equations with variable delays by means of a modified regularization method, which can be viewed as an alternative to the technique based on Lyapunov or Lyapunov-like functionals. The regularization method utilizes the parallelism between Lyapunov stability and input-to-state stability, which is well established in the deterministic case, but less known for stochastic differential equations. In its practical implementation, the method is based on seeking an auxiliary equation, which is used to regularize the equation to be studied. In the final step, estimation of the norm of an integral operator or verification of the property of positivity of solutions is performed. In the latter case, one applies the theory of positive invertible matrices. This report contains a systematic presentation of how the regularization method can be applied to stability analysis of linear stochastic delay equations with random coefficients and random initial conditions. Several stability results in terms of positive invertibility of certain matrices constructed for general stochastic systems with delay are obtained. A number of verifiable sufficient conditions for the exponential moment stability of solutions in terms of the coefficients for specific classes of Itô equations are offered as well.
