Variational Optimal-Control Problems with Delayed Arguments on Time Scales

This article deals with variational optimal-control problems on time scales in the presence of delay in the state variables. The problem is considered on a time scale unifying the discrete, the continuous and the quantum cases. Two examples in the discrete and quantum cases are analyzed to illustrate our results.Comment: To apear in Advances in Difference Equation

Transmission dynamic and backward bifurcation of Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) remains an emerging disease threat with regular human cases on the Arabian Peninsula driven by recurring camels to human transmission events. In this paper, we present a new deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of (MERS-CoV). In order to do this, we develop a model formulation and analyze the stability of the proposed model. The stability conditions are obtained in term of R0, we find those conditions for which the model become stable. We discuss basic reproductive number R0 along with sensitivity analysis to show the impact of every epidemic parameter. We show that the proposed model exhibits the phenomena of backward bifurcation. Finally, we show the numerical simulation of our proposed model for supporting our analytical work. The aim of this work is to show via mathematical model the transmission of MERS-CoV between humans and camels, which are suspected to be the primary source of infection

On Sumudu Transform Method in Discrete Fractional Calculus

In this paper, starting from the definition of the Sumudu transform on a general time scale, we define the generalized discrete Sumudu transform and present some of its basic properties. We obtain the discrete Sumudu transform of Taylor monomials, fractional sums, and fractional differences. We apply this transform to solve some fractional difference initial value problems

On Riesz-Caputo Formulation for Sequential Fractional Variational Principles

This paper deals with sequential Riesz-Caputo fractional variational problems with and without the presence of delay in the state variables and their derivatives. In both cases the necessary conditions for the optimal control are reported
