Abstract

In the field of modeling the dynamics of oncolytic viruses, researchers often face the challenge of using specialized mathematical terms to explain uncertain biological phenomena. This paper introduces a basic framework for an oncolytic virus dynamics model with a general growth rate $\mathcal{F}$ and a general nonlinear incidence term $\mathcal{G}$. The construction and derivation of the model explain in detail the generation process and practical significance of the distributed time delays and non-local infection terms. The paper provides the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the model, as well as the existence of a global attractor. Furthermore, through two auxiliary linear partial differential equations, the threshold parameters $σ_1$ are determined for sustained tumor growth and $λ_1$ for successful viral invasion of tumor cells to analyze the global dynamic behavior of the model. Finally, we illustrate and analyze our abstract theoretical results through a specific example.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
