Abstract

In the present paper, we study the dynamics of a nine compartmental vector-host model for Zika virus infection where the predatory fish Gambusia Affinis is introduced into the system to control the zika infection by preying on the vector. The system has six practically feasible equilibrium points where four of them are disease-free, and the rest are endemic. We discuss the existence and stability conditions for the equilibria. We find that when sexual transmission of zika comes to a halt then in absence of mosquitoes infection cannot persist. Hence, one needs to eradicate mosquitoes to eradicate infection. Moreover, we deduce that in the case of zika infection pushing the basic reproduction number below unity is next to impossible. Therefore, O_0, the mosquito survival threshold parameter, and O, the mosquito survival threshold parameter with predation play a crucial role in getting rid of the infection in respective cases since mosquitoes cannot survive when these are less than unity. Sensitivity analysis shows the importance of reducing mosquito biting rate and mutual contact rates between vector and host. It exhibits the importance of increasing the natural mortality rate of vectors to reduce the basic reproduction number. Numerical simulation shows that when the basic reproduction number is close but greater than unity, the introduction of a small amount of predatory fish Gambusia Affinis can completely swipe off the infection. In case of high transmission or high basic reproduction number, this fish increases the susceptible human population and keeps the infection under control, hence, prohibiting it from becoming an epidemic.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
