Abstract

This article deals with an autonomous differential equation model that studies the interaction between the immune system and the growth of tumor cells with strong and weak Allee effects. The Allee effect refers to interspecific competition, and when the population is small, it can retard population growth. The work focuses on describing analytically, using a set of parameters, the conditions in the phases of the immunoediting theory, particularly in the equilibrium phase, where a latent tumor would exist. Saddle-Node, Saddle-symmetric, Hopf, generalized Hopf, and Takens-Bogdanov bifurcations get presented for both Allee effects, and their biological interpretation regarding cancer dynamics gets discussed. The Hopf and generalized Hopf bifurcation curves get analyzed through hyper-parameter projections of the model, where it gets observed that with a strong Allee effect, more tumor control persists as it has higher antigenicity, in contrast to the weak Allee effect, where lower antigenicity gets observed. Also, we observe that the equilibrium phase persists as antigenicity increases with a strong Allee effect. Finally, the numerical continuation gets performed to replicate the analytical curves' bifurcations and draw the limit and double limit cycles.

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.
