In this paper, a delayed SIR epidemic model with pulse vaccination is investigated. By the comparison theorem for impulsive differential equations, we obtain that the infection-free periodic solution is globally attractive if the vaccination rate is larger enough. Moreover, we show that the disease is permanent if the vaccination proportion is less than some critical value under appropriate condition. By Brouwer's fixed-point theorem, we establish sufficient condition for the existence of positive periodic solution. Our results indicate that a large vaccination rate or a short period of pulsing is a sufficient condition for the eradication of the disease. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Stochastic optimal control and piecewise parameterization and optimization method for inventory control system improvement

Bo Li, Tian Huang

Summary: This paper proposes an approximate optimal strategy based on a piecewise parameterization and optimization (PPAO) method for solving optimization problems in stochastic control systems. The method obtains a piecewise parameter control by solving first-order differential equations, which simplifies the control form and ensures a small model error.

Consensus formation among mobile agents in networks of heterogeneous interaction venues

Guram Mikaberidze, Sayantan Nag Chowdhury, Alan Hastings, Raissa M. D'Souza

Summary: This study explores the collective behavior of interacting entities, focusing on the co-evolution of diverse mobile agents in a heterogeneous environment network. Increasing agent density, introducing heterogeneity, and designing the network structure intelligently can promote agent cohesion.

Development of a contact force model with a fluid damping factor for immersed collision events

Gengxiang Wang, Yang Liu, Caishan Liu

Summary: This investigation studies the impact behavior of a contact body in a fluidic environment. A dissipated coefficient is introduced to describe the energy dissipation caused by hydrodynamic forces. A new fluid damping factor is derived to depict the coupling between liquid and solid, as well as the coupling between solid and solid. A new coefficient of restitution (CoR) is proposed to determine the actual physical impact. A new contact force model with a fluid damping factor tailored for immersed collision events is proposed.
