Computer-assisted proofs for stable and unstable manifolds via the parameterization method
|
| In this talk, we review the fundamentals of the parameterization method, which provides a powerful way to obtain high order approximations of invariant manifolds in differential equations. The idea is first to introduce an invariance equation whose solution corresponds to the wanted parameterization, second to compute a numerical approximation of a solution of the invariance equation via power series and third to use the tools of rigorous numerics to validate the numerics. We present applications in the context of finite and infinite dimensional dynamical systems, namely ODEs, PDEs and delay equations. More specifically, we demonstrated how to use the rigorous control of the invariant manifolds to prove existence of connecting orbits.

Monotonicity of eigenvalues of a geometric operator along the Ricci flow
|
| In this talk, we will consider the eigenvalue of a geometric operator related to Perelman's W functional, compute its variational formula along the Ricci flow, and obtain a condition for monotonicity.

Dynamics of two predators competing for a renewable prey
|
| We consider an ODE system that describes the dynamics of two predators competing for the same prey. Our aim in this part is to study how periodic orbits are possibly triggered by perturbing an elliptic Hopf bifurcation without parameters. For this aim, we prove that the ODE system admits an elliptic Hopf bifurcation and discuss an attempt by using the averaging method. This is ongoing research with Dr. P. Lappicy, Dr. N. Vassena, and Dr. H. Stuke.

Stable manifolds for heteroclinic chains in Hořava cosmologies
|
|
In this talk we give a perspective on results by Liebscher et al who construct stable manifolds for a certain class of heteroclinic chains in the well-known Bianchi model in general relativity. The aim of our work is to obtain similar results in the parameter dependent Bianchi models within HL cosmology.

Hunting purely imaginary eigenvalues in chemical networks
|
| I will discuss a few sufficient criteria to detect a Jacobian with a pair of purely-imaginary complex-conjugated eigenvalues in general reaction networks. Such spectral condition is necessary for Hopf bifurcation, and may constitute an indication of the ability of the network to sustain oscillations.

Period mismatch in a Pyragas controlled system
|
| We attempt an initial investigation into a Pyragas controlled system with an incorrect delay, i.e., the delay chosen in the control scheme does not match the period of the target orbit.

The dynamics of a class of epidemic models with control interventions
|
| This time I will mainly show the dynamic behavior of SVEIQRS model. This system exhibits a backward bifurcation behavior, proving that the well-accepted condition R0 < 1 is an essential requirement for eliminating a disease that may not be sufficient. Later we will find the critical value Rc where the stable and unstable endemic curves coincide. Only when R0< Rc is the disease-free equilibrium the only stationary solution. Finally, we will compare the representative value with the subsystem, showing how quarantine and imperfect vaccination affect the system.
