Pattern formation of an epidemic model with cross diffusion

TL;DR: The study shows that the interaction of self and cross diffusion can be considered as an important mechanism for the appearance of complex spatiotemporal dynamics in epidemic models.

Dynamical analysis of mathematical model for Bovine Tuberculosis among human and cattle population

TL;DR: It is suggested that controllingBTB in cattle population may indirectly control the spread of BTB in human and the trivial disease-free equilibrium of the model is shown to be locally asymptotically stable when the two associated basic reproduction number are less than unity.

Development of a dynamical systems model of plant programmatic performance on nuclear power plant safety risk

TL;DR: A dynamical systems model is proposed that describes the interaction of important plant processes on nuclear safety risk and indicates that significant benefits in effectively managing risk are obtained by integrating the plant operation and work management processes such that decisions are made utilizing a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach.

On existence and nonexistence of limit cycles for FitzHugh-nagumo class models

TL;DR: In this article, the existence and non-existence of limit cycles of FitzHugh-Nagumo class models is discussed, and it is shown that this class of model exhibits double cycle bifurcation in addition to Andronov-Hopf bifurbcation.
