Since age and sex play an important role in transmission of diseases, we propose a SIR (susceptible-infectious-recovered) model for short-term predictions where the population is divided into subgroups based on both factors without taking into account vital dynamics. After stating our model and its underlining assumptions, we analyze its qualitative behavior thoroughly. We prove global existence and uniqueness, non-negativity, boundedness and certain monotonicity properties of the solution. Furthermore, we develop an explicit-implicit numerical solution algorithm and show that all properties of the continuous solution transfer to its time-discrete version. Finally, we provide one numerical example to illustrate our theoretical findings.

Conventional numerical methods for modeling water seepage hardly provide a realistic description for the associated degradation of rock material and the permeability evolution mechanism. A numerical algorithm was utilized to investigate the rock seepage evolution process and the course of deformation failure. A theoretical model for depicting the weakening of rocks modulus and strength caused by water absorption in rock substrate was developed, and the mathematical relationships are presented in this paper. The softening process of a siltstone specimen due to water absorption was simulated under low- and high-fluid pressures as the boundary condition based on the theoretical model. Moreover, uniaxial compression test was performed for the specimen under different time of water absorption. The results indicated that the higher the fluid pressure, the quicker that the rock specimen reached saturation. It was observed that at the beginning of a seepage process, the openings are mainly filled by free water, but as time proceeds, there is a transition from absorption of free water in openings to water absorption by rock substrate. Fluid pressure, as the boundary condition, has a controlling effect on seepage rate but barely has any effect on the rate of water absorption in rock substrate. As the time of water absorption increases, rock strength (cohesion and angle of internal friction) decreases gradually until reaching the residual value. The numerical estimation of the changes in water content of rock substrate over time agrees with the theoretical explanations, which indicates high precision of the developed numerical method.

The present paper proposes a new approach to the classical problem of the harmonic oscillations of a thin wing in a flow of non-viscous incompressible fluid. The problem is reduced to a dual integral equation, permitting application of numerical methods. The numerical experiments are performed by using some advanced fast non-stationary iterative methods, with the help of the two-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform. There is given a brief survey on the iterative methods, to evaluate the most efficient algorithms in application to the considered problem of the flapping wing theory. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

The paper investigates the finite-time stability (FTS) analysis of a very general class of nonlinear time-varying systems. The FTS of the considered system, whose vector field consists of a nonlinear part which can be sublinear or superlinear, and a linear part which can be time-varying, has not been fully studied before. By estimating the bound of the norm of the considered system's states with the generalised Gronwall-Bellman inequality, a sufficient criterion is established to guarantee the FTS of the considered system. To facilitate checking the criterion in practice, a novel numerical algorithm is proposed by numerically solving certain differential equations. Therefore, the FTS of the considered class of nonlinear time-varying systems can be easily analysed by the numerical algorithm. Further considering the numerical errors in the practical numerical computation, we strictly prove the credibility and programmability of the numerical algorithm in theory. Finally, three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness the proposed results.

The paper deals with the uniform finite-time stability (UFTS) of continuous linear time-varying (LTV) systems. Firstly, a necessary and sufficient condition for the UFTS of continuous LTV systems is devised with the idea of computing the envelope of all the trajectories of the considered system. Then, a corollary is obtained under the perspective of numerical computation. Further, based on the obtained corollary, a novel numerical algorithm is designed by utilizing the Lipschitz continuity of certain functions. With the proposed algorithm, only limited numerical computation is needed when analyzing the UFTS of continuous LTV systems. Compared with the existing Lyapunov-like function method, one needn't constructing Lyapunov-like functions. Moreover, the obtained corollary just requires being checked at a limited number of time points. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed results.

In this work, a matrix form of numerical algorithm for spectral shift is presented based on the novel nonequilibrium solvation model that is established by introducing the constrained equilibrium manipulation. This form is convenient for the development of codes for numerical solution. By means of the integral equation formulation polarizable continuum model (IEF-PCM), a subroutine has been implemented to compute spectral shift numerically. Here, the spectral shifts of absorption spectra for several popular chromophores, N,N-diethyl-p-nitroaniline (DEPNA), methylenecyclopropene (MCP), acrolein (ACL) and p-nitroaniline (PNA) were investigated in different solvents with various polarities. The computed spectral shifts can explain the available experimental findings reasonably. Discussions were made on the contributions of solute geometry distortion, electrostatic polarization and other non-electrostatic interactions to spectral shift. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Let C be a real plane algebraic curve defined by the resultant of two polynomials (resp. by the discriminant of a polynomial). Geometrically such a curve is the projection of the intersection of the surfaces P (x, y, z) = Q (x, y, z) = 0 (resp. P(x, y, z) = az (x, y, z) = 0), and generically its singularities are nodes (resp. nodes and ordinary cusps). State-of-the-art numerical algorithms compute the topology of smooth curves but usually fail to certify the topology of singular ones. The main challenge is to find practical numerical criteria that guarantee the existence and the uniqueness of a singularity inside a given box B, while ensuring that B does not contain any closed loop of C. We solve this problem by first providing a square deflation system, based on subresultants, that can be used to certify numerically whether B contains a unique singularity p or not. Then we introduce a numeric adaptive separation criterion based on interval arithmetic to ensure that the topology of C in B is homeomorphic to the local topology at p. Our algorithms are implemented and experiments show their efficiency compared to state-of-the-art symbolic or homotopic methods. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
