Abstract

This study focuses on the modeling, mathematical analysis, developing theories, and numerical simulation of Influenza virus transmission. We have proved the existence, uniqueness, positivity, and boundedness of the solutions. Also, investigate the qualitative behavior of the models and find the basic reproduction number $(\mathcal{R}_0)$ that guarantees the asymptotic stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points. The local and global asymptotic stability of the disease free state and endemic equilibrium of the system is analyzed with the Lyapunov method, Routh-Hurwitz, and other criteria and presented graphically. This study helps to investigate the effectiveness of control policy and makes suggestions for alternative control policies. Bifurcation analyses are carried out to determine prevention strategies. Transcritical, Hopf, and backward bifurcation analyses are displayed analytically and numerically to show the dynamics of disease transmission in different cases. Moreover, analysis of contour plot, box plot, relative biases, phase portraits are presented to show the influential parameters to curtail the disease outbreak. We are interested in finding the nature of $\mathcal{R}_0$, which determines whether the disease dies out or persists in the population. The findings indicate that the dynamics of the model are determined by the threshold parameter $\mathcal{R}_0$.

A conceptual predator-prey model with super-long transients

Drawing on the understanding of the logistic map, we propose a simple predator-prey model where predators and prey adapt to each other, leading to the co-evolution of the system. The special dynamics observed in periodic windows contribute to the coexistence of multiple time scales, adding to the complexity of the system. Typical dynamics in ecosystems, such as the persistence and coexistence of population cycles and chaotic behaviors, the emergence of super-long transients, regime shifts, and the quantifying of resilience, are encapsulated within this single model. The simplicity of our model allows for detailed analysis, reinforcing its potential as a conceptual tool for understanding ecosystems deeply.

Mutation Order and Selection Shape Intratumor Heterogeneity in Tumor Evolution

Cancer progression often requires multiple driver mutations, but the same drivers may be acquired in different orders. How these pathways jointly shape tumor clonal structure remains unclear. We develop a multitype branching-process model in which malignant transformation requires two driver mutations, distinguishing malignant cells by mutation order and the independent transformation event that founded their clone. Under a successive exponential approximation, we establish point-process limits for pathway-specific clone sizes and derive a closed-form expression for the limiting expected Simpson's index of the combined malignant population. When both mutation orders yield malignant cells with the same net growth rate, the index decomposes into effective pathway weights, determined by mutation rates and birth-death dynamics at preceding stages, and within-pathway concentration terms, determined by intermediate-to-malignant growth-rate ratios. A driver's effect on heterogeneity thus depends critically on when it is acquired. A strong driver acquired early expands the intermediate lineage and increases the supply of independent malignant founders, whereas the same driver acquired last strengthens the growth and age advantage of early-founded malignant clones. Under additive fitness effects, these opposing mechanisms can produce a non-monotone relationship between selective advantage and clonal concentration. Threshold-like non-additive fitness effects can generate highly concentrated malignant populations, while order-dependent terminal fitness causes the faster-growing pathway to dominate asymptotically. These results show how mutation order, mutational accessibility, selection, and epistasis jointly determine lineage-level intratumor heterogeneity.

Phase transitions in microbial lineage trees

Microbial populations exhibit high cell-to-cell variability, which fundamentally shapes population behavior. A striking consequence is the existence of phase transitions, where small genetic or environmental changes trigger abrupt shifts in population dynamics. While biological phase transitions have often been proposed, connecting observed behavior to the underlying physics has remained challenging. We combine population genetics with statistical physics to show how phase transitions arise naturally in microbial populations. We highlight the existence of a first-order transition in a model of bacterial plasmid engineering and find a strict lower bound on the number of plasmids that can be stably maintained in a population.
