A general classification of three-dimensional flow fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the geometry of solution trajectories for three first-order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants for elementary three-dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
On contraction analysis for non-linear systems
TL;DR: These results may be viewed as generalizing the classical Krasovskii theorem, and, more loosely, linear eigenvalue analysis, and the approach is illustrated by controller and observer designs for simple physical examples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular automata as models of complexity
TL;DR: Natural systems from snowflakes to mollusc shells show a great diversity of complex patterns that can be investigated through mathematical models termed ‘cellular automata’, which consist of many identical components, each simple.

Dynamical models of tuberculosis and their applications.
TL;DR: Questions addressed by these models mainly concentrate on TB control strategies, optimal vaccination policies, approaches toward the elimination of TB in the U.S.A., TB co-infection with HIV/AIDS, drug-resistant TB, responses of the immune system, impacts of demography, the role of public transportation systems, and the impact of contact patterns.

MATCONT: A MATLAB package for numerical bifurcation analysis of ODEs
TL;DR: The sparsity of the discretized systems for the computation of limit cycles and their bifurcation points is exploited by using the standard Matlab sparse matrix methods.
