Threshold dynamics of a time-periodic nonlocal dispersal SIS epidemic model with saturated incidence function and Neumann boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider a time-periodic nonlocal dispersal susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model with saturated incidence and Neumann boundary conditions in a spatiotemporally heterogeneous environment. First, we define the basic reproduction number for the model, which depends on dispersal rates, total population size and saturation parameters, and is quite different from those of models incorporating standard or bilinear incidence. Then, we establish its variational characterization and investigate the impacts of those parameters on it. Next, we explore the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of the equilibria. We also analyze the asymptotic behaviors of endemic steady states for small saturation parameters, and for both small and large diffusion rates. Our results show that the saturation effect enables the total population size to have a significant impact on the disease dynamics. Furthermore, as the saturation parameter tends to zero, the basic reproduction number and the endemic equilibrium reduce to those of the standard-incidence model, respectively. Finally, we support our findings by numerical simulations.

Principal spectral theory and variational characterizations for nonlocal coupled cooperative systems and applications

This paper investigates the principal spectral theory of a nonlocal dispersal operator with coupled diffusion and aims to establish a variational characterization of the spectral bound for the case where the system is not strongly coupled. In this setting, a key difficulty arises since the principal eigenfunction may have components that are identically zero, rendering existing generalized eigenvalue methods inapplicable. To overcome this, we reorder the components of the operator using a permutation matrix, thereby decomposing it into suitable suboperators, and characterize the spectral bound of the original operator in terms of the spectral bounds of these suboperators. Building on this principal spectral theory, we provide a variational characterization of the basic reproduction ratio for nonlocal dispersal systems and analyze the dynamical behavior of a class of multi-genotype stem cell regeneration models with epigenetic transitions, both in the presence and absence of gene mutations, without assuming the existence of a principal eigenvalue. Furthermore, we investigate the threshold dynamics when the system is not strongly coupled.

Variational characterizations of weighted eigenvalue and basic reproduction ratio for nonlocal dispersal systems and application

The basic reproduction ratio is a crucial threshold parameter in infectious disease models. In nonlocal dispersal systems, its variational characterization is challenging due to the possible absence of a principal eigenvalue caused by non-compactness. In this paper, we aim to establish such a characterization even when the principal eigenvalue does not exist. To this end, we first study the spectral bound of a class of nonlocal dispersal operators, establishing a Collatz-Wielandt characterization as well as a Rayleigh-Ritz characterization when the operator is self-adjoint. Using this, we characterize the unique parameter value at which the spectral bound equals zero, covering both non-degenerate and partially degenerate cases, and subsequently obtain an explicit expression for the basic reproduction ratio. To demonstrate the utility of our theoretical framework, we apply it to a nonlocal dispersal SIS epidemic model with saturated incidence rate. The analysis shows that, in the degenerate case of the saturation coefficient, the limiting behavior of the basic reproduction ratio as the total population tends to zero is strikingly different from that in local diffusion case.

Global existence and nonexistence analyses for a magnetic fractional pseudo-parabolic equation

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for a pseudo-parabolic equation in magnetic fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. First, by employing the imbedding theorems, the theory of potential wells and the Galerkin method, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions with subcritical initial energy, critical initial energy and supercritical initial energy, respectively. Furthermore, we prove the decay estimate of global solutions with sub-sharp-critical initial energy, sharp-critical initial energy and supercritical initial energy, respectively. Specifically, we need to analyze the properties of $\omega$-limits of solutions for supercritical initial energy. Next, we establish the finite time blowup of solutions with sub-sharp-critical initial energy and sharp-critical initial energy, respectively. Finally, we discuss the convergence relationship between the global solutions of the evolution problem and the ground state solutions of the corresponding stationary problem.

Global existence and finite time blowup for a mixed pseudo-parabolic $p$-Laplacian type equation

This paper concerns the initial-boundary value problem for a mixed pseudo-parabolic $p$-Laplacian type equation. By constructing a family of potential wells, we first present the explicit expression for the depth of potential well, and then prove the existence, uniqueness and decay estimate of global solutions and the blowup phenomena of solutions with subcritical initial energy. Next, we extend parallelly these results to the critical initial energy. Lastly, the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of global solutions with supercritical initial energy are proved by further analyzing the properties of $ω$-limits of solutions.

Visualization for Epidemiological Modelling: Challenges, Solutions, Reflections & Recommendations

We report on an ongoing collaboration between epidemiological modellers and visualization researchers by documenting and reflecting upon knowledge constructs -- a series of ideas, approaches and methods taken from existing visualization research and practice -- deployed and developed to support modelling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Structured independent commentary on these efforts is synthesized through iterative reflection to develop: evidence of the effectiveness and value of visualization in this context; open problems upon which the research communities may focus; guidance for future activity of this type; and recommendations to safeguard the achievements and promote, advance, secure and prepare for future collaborations of this kind. In describing and comparing a series of related projects that were undertaken in unprecedented conditions, our hope is that this unique report, and its rich interactive supplementary materials, will guide the scientific community in embracing visualization in its observation, analysis and modelling of data as well as in disseminating findings. Equally we hope to encourage the visualization community to engage with impactful science in addressing its emerging data challenges. If we are successful, this showcase of activity may stimulate mutually beneficial engagement between communities with complementary expertise to address problems of significance in epidemiology and beyond. https://ramp-vis.github.io/RAMPVIS-PhilTransA-Supplement/

Visualization Resources: A Starting Point

Visualization, as a vibrant field for researchers, practitioners, and higher educational institutions, is growing and evolving very rapidly. Tremendous progress has been made since 1987, the year often cited as the beginning of data visualization as a distinct field. As such, the number of visualization resources and the demand for those resources are increasing at a very fast pace. We present a collection of open visualization resources for all those with an interest in interactive data visualization and visual analytics. Because the number of resources is so large, we focus on collections of resources, of which there are already very many ranging from literature collections to collections of practitioner resources. We develop a novel classification of visualization resource collections based on the resource type, e.g. literature-based, web-based, etc. The result is a helpful overview and details-on-demand of many useful resources. The collection offers a valuable jump-start for those seeking out data visualization resources from all backgrounds spanning from beginners such as students to teachers, practitioners, and researchers wishing to create their own advanced or novel visual designs.

VIS30K: A Collection of Figures and Tables from IEEE Visualization Conference Publications

We present the VIS30K dataset, a collection of 29,689 images that represents 30 years of figures and tables from each track of the IEEE Visualization conference series (Vis, SciVis, InfoVis, VAST). VIS30K's comprehensive coverage of the scientific literature in visualization not only reflects the progress of the field but also enables researchers to study the evolution of the state-of-the-art and to find relevant work based on graphical content. We describe the dataset and our semi-automatic collection process, which couples convolutional neural networks (CNN) with curation. Extracting figures and tables semi-automatically allows us to verify that no images are overlooked or extracted erroneously. To improve quality further, we engaged in a peer-search process for high-quality figures from early IEEE Visualization papers. With the resulting data, we also contribute VISImageNavigator (VIN, visimagenavigator.github.io), a web-based tool that facilitates searching and exploring VIS30K by author names, paper keywords, title and abstract, and years.

Optimal decay for the full compressible Navier-Stokes system in critical $L^p$ Besov spaces

Danchin and He (Math. Ann. 64: 1-38, 2016) recently established the global existence in critical $L^p$-type regularity framework for the $N$-dimensional $(N\geq 3)$ non-isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The purpose of this paper is to further investigate the large time behavior of solutions constructed by them. More precisely, we prove that if the initial data at the low frequencies additionally belong to some Besov space $\dot{B}_{2,\infty}^{-σ_1}$ with $σ_1\in (2-N/2, 2N/p-N/2]$, then the $\dot{B}_{p,1}^s$ norm of the critical global solutions exhibits the optimal decay $(1+t)^{-\frac{N}{2}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{p})-\frac{s+σ_1}{2}}$ for suitable $p$ and $s$. The main tool we use is the pure energy argument without the spectral analysis, which enables us to \emph{remove the smallness assumption} of initial data at the low-frequency.

Large time behavior in critical $L^p$ Besov spaces for compressible viscoelastic flows

We consider the large time behavior of global strong solutions to the compressible viscoelastic flows on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N\,(N\geq 2)$, where the system describes the elastic properties of the compressible fluid. Adding a suitable initial condition involving only the low-frequency, we prove optimal time decay estimates for the global solutions in the $L^p$ critical regularity framework, which are similar to those of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Our results rely on the pure energy argument, which allows us to remove the usual smallness assumption of the data in the low-frequency.

Optimal decay for the compressible MHD equations in the critical regularity framework

In this paper, we study the large time behavior of solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in the $L^p$-type critical Besov spaces. Precisely, we show that if the initial data in the low frequencies additionally belong to some Besov space $\dot{B}_{2,\infty}^{-σ_1}$ with $σ_1\in (1-N/2, 2N/p-N/2]$, then the $\dot{B}_{p,1}^0$ norm of the critical global solutions presents the optimal decay $t^{-\frac{N}{2}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{p})-\frac{σ_1}{2}}$ for $t\rightarrow+\infty$. The pure energy argument without the spectral analysis is performed, which allows us to remove the usual smallness assumption of low frequencies.

Global existence and incompressible limit in critical spaces for compressible flow of liquid crystals

The Cauchy problem for the compressible flow of nematic liquid crystals in the framework of critical spaces is considered. We first establish the existence and uniqueness of global solutions provided that the initial data are close to some equilibrium states. This result improves the work by Hu and Wu [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 45 (2013), pp. 2678-2699] through relaxing the regularity requirement of the initial data in terms of the director field. We then consider the incompressible limit problem for ill prepared initial data. We prove that as the Mach number tends to zero, the global solution to the compressible flow of liquid crystals converges to the solution to the corresponding incompressible model in some function spaces. Moreover, the accurate converge rates are obtained.

Regularity criteria for the 3D MHD equations in term of velocity

In this paper we consider three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamics equations. By using interpolation inequalities in anisotropic Lebesgue space, we provide regularity criteria involving the velocity or alternatively involving the fractional derivative of velocity in one direction, which generalize some known results.
