We analyze a mathematical model of the effects of soil contamination by heavy metals, which is expressed as systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The model is based on the symmetry dynamics of heavy metals soil–plant interactions. We aim to study this symmetric process and its long-term behavior, as well as to discuss the role of two crucial parameters, namely the flux of the hydrogen protons to the soil in rainfall events W (t) , and the available water for roots p (t) . We study the boundedness and positivity of the solution. Further, a parameter identification analysis of the model is presented. Numerical experiments with synthetic and realistic data of honeybee population are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The distribution laws of various natural and anthropogenic processes in the world around us are stochastic in nature. The development of mathematics and, in particular, of stochastic modeling allows us to study regularities in such processes. In practice, stochastic modeling finds a huge number of applications in various fields, including finance and economics. In this work, some particular applications of stochastic processes in finance are examined in the conditions of financial crisis, aiming to provide a solid approach for stock price forecasting. More specifically, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models and modified ordinary differential equation (ODE) models, previously developed by some of the authors to predict the asset prices of four Bulgarian companies, are validated against a time period during the crisis. Estimated rates of return are calculated from the models for one period ahead. The errors are estimated and the models are compared. The return values predicted with each of the two approaches are used to derive optimal risk portfolios based on the Markowitz model, which is the second major aim of this study. The third aim is to compare the resulting portfolios in terms of distribution (i.e., weights of the stocks), risk, and rate of return. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article introduces a novel approach to ensuring optimal comfort in residential environments, using a smart system powered by predictive modeling. At its core lies a complex algorithm, presented alongside a detailed block diagram, guiding the system's operations, which are tailored for residential comfort. The primary focus is on the time series analysis of forecasting relative humidity—a critical parameter influencing comfort in living spaces. Among the various prediction models analyzed, a model based on the Fourier equation emerged as the most efficient, accounting for approximately 81% of variances in data. Upon validation, the model showcases an impressive relative error of just ±0.1%. The research underscores the potential of leveraging advanced forecasting in optimizing devices like dehumidifiers or air humidifiers, ensuring the desired comfort while minimizing energy consumption. This innovative integration paves the way for a smarter, more sustainable residential living experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider an approximation of the Caputo fractional derivative and its asymptotic expansion formula, whose generating function is the polylogarithm function. We prove the convergence of the approximation and derive an estimate for the error and order. The approximation is applied for the construction of finite difference schemes for the two-term ordinary fractional differential equation and the time fractional Black–Scholes equation for option pricing. The properties of the approximation are used to prove the convergence and order of the finite difference schemes and to obtain bounds for the error of the numerical methods. The theoretical results for the order and error of the methods are illustrated by the results of the numerical experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Extensive research was conducted on the transmission dynamics of tuberculosis epidemics during its reemergence from the 1980s to the early 1990s, but this global problem of investigating tuberculosis spread dynamics remains of paramount importance. Our study utilized a fractional-order delay differential model to study tuberculosis transmission, where the time delay in the model was attributed to the disease's latent period. What is more, this model accounts for endogenous reactivation, exogenous reinfection, and treatment of tuberculosis. The model qualitative properties and the basic reproduction number were analyzed. The primary goal of the study was to recover the important dynamic parameters of tuberculosis. Our understanding of these complex processes leverages the efficacy of efforts for controlling the disease, forecasting future dynamics, and applying further appropriate strategies to prevent its spread.The calibration itself was carried out via minimization of a quadratic cost functional. Computational simulations demonstrated that the algorithm is capable of working with noisy real data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we present the development of an advanced air pollution modeling approach, which incorporates cutting-edge stochastic techniques for large-scale simulations of long-range air pollutant transportation. The Unified Danish Eulerian Model (UNI-DEM) serves as a crucial mathematical framework with numerous applications in studies concerning the detrimental effects of heightened air pollution levels. We employ the UNI-DEM model in our research to obtain trustworthy insights into critical questions pertaining to environmental preservation. Our proposed methodology is a highly convergent quasi-Monte Carlo technique that relies on a unique symmetrization lattice rule. By fusing the concepts of special functions and optimal generating vectors, we create a novel algorithm grounded in the component-by-component construction method, which has been recently introduced. This amalgamation yields particularly impressive outcomes for lower-dimensional cases, substantially enhancing the performance of the most advanced existing methods for calculating the Sobol sensitivity indices of the UNI-DEM model. This improvement is vital, as these indices form an essential component of the digital ecosystem for environmental analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to investigate the honeybee population dynamics, many differential equation models were proposed. Fractional derivatives incorporate the history of the honeybee population dynamics. We numerically study the inverse problem of parameter identification in models with Caputo and Caputo–Fabrizio differential operators. We use a gradient method of minimizing a quadratic cost functional. We analyze and compare results for the integer (classic) and fractional models. The present work also contains discussion on the efficiency of the numerical methods used. Computational tests with realistic data were performed and are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Featured Application: This work could be readily used in modeling contaminant transportation in homogeneous porous media with constant mean transport velocity, first-order decay and linear equilibrium sorption, e.g., the spread of a solute in water. In particular, the proposed method recovers the time-dependent pollution source strength from point measurements in a(n) (un)bounded domain. In this paper, we suggest a method for recovering the unknown time-dependent strength of a contaminant concentration source from measurements of the concentration inside an unbounded domain. This problem is formulated as a Cauchy parabolic inverse problem. For its efficient numerical processing, the problem is solved by reduction of the Cauchy problem to a Dirichet one on a bounded domain using the method of the fundamental (potential) solutions in combination with an adjoint equation technique. A numerical solution to this approach is explained. Next, by choosing the source strength in the form of a finite series of shape functions with unknown constant coefficients and using a linear-square method, the term concentration source is estimated. Computational simulations using model examples from water pollution are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Honeybee losses are an extensive global problem. In this study, a new compartment model of honeybee population that mainly concerns honey production is developed. The model describes the interaction of the food stock with the brood (immature bees), adult bees and produced honey. In the present paper, the issue of an adequate model recovery is addressed and the parameter identification inverse problem is solved. An adjoint equation procedure to obtain the unknown parameter values by minimizing the functional error during a period of time is proposed. Numerical simulations with realistic data are discussed.

Environmental security is among the top priorities worldwide, and there are many difficulties in this area. The reason for this is a painful subject for society and healthcare systems. Multidimensional sensitivity analysis is fundamental in the process of validating the accuracy and reliability of large-scale computational models of air pollution. In this paper, we present an improved version of the well-known Sobol sequence, which shows a significant improvement over the best available existing sequences in the measurement of the sensitivity indices of the digital ecosystem under consideration. We performed a complicated comparison with the best available low-discrepancy sequences for multidimensional sensitivity analysis to study the model's output with respect to variations in the input emissions of anthropogenic pollutants and to evaluate the rates of several chemical reactions. Our results, which are presented in this paper through a sensitivity analysis, will play an extremely important multi-sided role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, entertainment is one of the biggest industries, which continues to expand. In this study, the problem of estimating the consolation prize as a fraction of the jackpot is dealt with, which is an important issue for each casino and gambling club. Solving the problem leads to the computation of multidimensional integrals. For that purpose, modifications of the most powerful stochastic quasi-Monte Carlo approaches are employed, in particular lattice and digital sequences, Halton and Sobol sequences, and Latin hypercube sampling. They show significant improvements to the classical Monte Carlo methods. After accurate computation of the arisen integrals, it is shown how to calculate the expectation of the real consolation prize, taking into account the distribution of time, when different numbers of players are betting. Moreover, a solution to the problem with higher dimensions is also proposed. All the suggestions are verified by computational experiments with real data. Besides gambling, the results obtained in this study have various applications in numerous areas, including finance, ecology and many others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present work, a fractional temporal SIR model is considered. The total population is divided into three compartments—susceptible, infected and removed individuals. It generalizes the classical SIR model and consists of three coupled time-fractional ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The fractional derivative is introduced to account for the subdiffusion process of confirmed, cured and deceased people dynamics. Although relatively basic, the model is robust and captures the real dynamics, helped by the memory property of the fractional system. In the paper, the issue of an adequate model reconstruction is addressed, and a coefficient identification inverse problem is solved; in particular, the transition and recovering rates, varying in time, are recovered. A least-squares cost functional is minimized for solving the problem. The time-dependent parameters are reconstructed with an iterative predictor–corrector algorithm. Its application is demonstrated via tests with synthetic and real data. What is more, an approach for economic impact assessment is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
