(R1504) Second-order Modified Nonstandard Runge-Kutta and Theta Methods for One-dimensional Autonomous Differential Equations
Nonstandard finite difference methods (NSFD) are used in physical sciences to approximate solutions of ordinary differential equations whose analytical solution cannot be computed. Traditional NSFD methods are elementary stable but usually only have first order accuracy. In this paper, we introduce two new classes of numerical methods that are of second order accuracy and elementary stable. The methods are modified versions of the nonstandard two-stage explicit Runge-Kutta methods and the nonstandard one-stage theta methods with a specific form of the nonstandard denominator function. Theoretical analysis of the stability and accuracy of both modified NSFD methods is presented. Numerical simulations that concur with the theoretical findings are also presented, which demonstrate the computational advantages of the proposed new modified nonstandard finite difference methods
Mathematical modelling of virus RSV: qualitative properties, numerical solutions and validation for the case of the region of Valencia
El objetivo de esta memoria se centra en primer lugar en la modelización del comportamiento de enfermedades estacionales mediante sistemas de ecuaciones diferenciales y en el estudio de las propiedades dinámicas tales como positividad, periocidad, estabilidad de las soluciones analíticas y la construcción de esquemas numéricos para las aproximaciones de las soluciones numéricas de sistemas de ecuaciones diferenciales de primer orden no lineales, los cuales modelan el comportamiento de enfermedades infecciosas estacionales tales como la transmisión del virus Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
Se generalizan dos modelos matemáticos de enfermedades estacionales y se demuestran que tiene soluciones periódicas usando un Teorema de Coincidencia de Jean Mawhin. Para corroborar los resultados analíticos, se desarrollan esquemas numéricos usando las técnicas de diferencias finitas no estándar desarrolladas por Ronald Michens y el método de la transformada diferencial, los cuales permiten reproducir el comportamiento dinámico de las soluciones analíticas, tales como positividad y periocidad.
Finalmente, las simulaciones numéricas se realizan usando los esquemas implementados y parámetros deducidos de datos clínicos

Nonstandard finite difference schemes with application to biological models
This paper deals with the construction of nonstandard finite difference methods for solving a specific Rosenzweig-MacArthur predator-prey model. The reorganization of the denominator of the discrete derivatives and nonlocal approximations of nonlinear terms are used in the design of new schemes. We establish that the proposed nonstandard finite difference methods are elementary stable and satisfy the positivity requirement. We provide some numerical comparisons to illustrate our results.Publisher's Versio
An unconditionally stable nonstandard finite difference method applied to a mathematical model of HIV infection
We formulate and analyze an unconditionally stable nonstandard finite difference method for a mathematical model of HIV
transmission dynamics. The dynamics of this model are studied using the qualitative theory of dynamical systems. These
qualitative features of the continuous model are preserved by the numerical method that we propose in this paper. This
method also preserves the positivity of the solution, which is one of the essential requirements when modeling epidemic
diseases. Robust numerical results confirming theoretical investigations are provided. Comparisons are also made with the
other conventional approaches that are routinely used for such problems.IS
Some implications of a new definition of the exponential function on time scales
We present a new approach to exponential functions on time scales and to
timescale analogues of ordinary differential equations. We describe in detail
the Cayley-exponential function and associated trigonometric and hyperbolic
functions. We show that the Cayley-exponential is related to implicit midpoint
and trapezoidal rules, similarly as delta and nabla exponential functions are
related to Euler numerical schemes. Extending these results on any Pad\'e
approximants, we obtain Pad\'e-exponential functions. Moreover, the exact
exponential function on time scales is defined. Finally, we present
applications of the Cayley-exponential function in the q-calculus and suggest a
general approach to dynamic systems on Lie groups.Comment: 12 pages. Presented at 8th AIMS International Conference on Dynamical
