Mathematical modeling and parameter estimation of unemployment with the impact of training programs

TL;DR: A mathematical model that represents the problem of unemployment in poor countries with limited availability of jobs and the existence and stability analysis of both equilibria depend on the basic reproduction number, which is found using the method of next generation matrix.

Analysis of age-structured malaria transmission model

TL;DR: A model to study the dynamics of malaria in an age-structured human host that divides the human population into two compartments and suggests that a unique, stable endemic equilibrium exists is suggested.

A structural classification of candidate oscillators and multistationary systems

TL;DR: A classification for sign–definite non autocatalytic biological networks is proposed which summarize several existing results in the literature, adding new results when necessary, and defines candidate oscillators and multistationary systems based on their admissible transitions to instability.

Mathematical analysis on an extended Rosenzweig-MacArthur model of tri-trophic food chain

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study a new model as an extension of the Rosenzweig-MacArthur tritrophic food chain model in which the super-predator consumes both the predator and the prey.

Modelling competition and hybridization between native cutthroat trout and nonnative rainbow and hybrid trout.

TL;DR: Stochastic Lotka–Volterra models are applied to the displacement of cutthroat trout by rainbow/hybrid trout in the Snake River, Idaho, USA to provide evidence for a model in which interaction occurs among fish from both river and tributary subpopulations.
