A time-adaptive optimization approach for reconstructing immune response in a mathematical model of acute HIV infection using clinical data

Abstract

The paper proposes a time-adaptive optimization approach for determining the time-dependent immune response function in a mathematical model of acute HIV infection, using clinical data from four untreated patients. We formulate the problem as a parameter identification problem for an immune response system of ODE which includes novel component integrated into the third equation of the classical three-equation HIV model. Tikhonov's regularization method, Lagrangian approach, from which we derive the optimality conditions, and a numerical scheme to solve the forward and adjoint problems, as well as parameter identification problem, are presented. Three different a posteriori error estimates are derived and based on these estimates, a time adaptive optimization algorithm is formulated. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive method in reconstructing the immune response function during the acute phase of HIV infection, using patient-specific clinical data. Computational results show improvement of reconstruction of immune response function using the local time-adaptive mesh refinement method compared to the standard conjugate gradient method applied on a uniform time mesh.

Discrete normalized gradient flow for two-component Bose-Einstein condensates: Energy dissipation, global convergence and sharp local convergence behavior

The gradient flow with semi-implicit discretization (GFSI) is the most widely used algorithm for computing the ground state of Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional. We apply GFSI to the two-component scenario with Josephson junction and rotating term, which is one of the most important and topical models in multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates (MBECs), and rigorously establish the following fundamental results for the first time. By introducing a Lagrange multiplier to reformulate GFSI into an equivalent form, we prove its energy dissipation property and global convergence to stationary states. More significantly, we uncover an intrinsic connection between this classical numerical PDE discretization rooted in imaginary-time evolution and Riemannian optimization, a state-of-the-art mathematical framework for manifold-constrained optimization. This connection enables us to fully characterize the local convergence behavior of GFSI within the Riemannian optimization framework. Together with the aforementioned global convergence result, this yields a complete global--local convergence theory for GFSI. Finally, numerical experiments comprehensively validate the theoretically predicted energy dissipation and convergence properties.

Discretization, Uniform-in-Time Estimations and Approximation of Invariant Measures for Nonlinear Stochastic Differential Equations with Non-Uniform Dissipativity

The approximation of invariant measures for nonlinear ergodic stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is a central problem in scientific computing, with important applications in stochastic sampling, physics, and ecology. We first propose an easily applicable explicit Truncated Euler-Maruyama (TEM) scheme and prove its numerical ergodicity in the $L^p$-Wasserstein distance ($p\geqslant 1$). Furthermore, by combining truncation techniques with the coupling method, we establish a uniform-in-time $1/2$-order convergence rate in moments for the TEM scheme. Additionally, leveraging the exponential ergodicity of both the numerical and exact solutions, we derive a $1/2$-order convergence rate for the invariant measures of the TEM scheme and the exact solution in the $L^1$-Wasserstein distance. Finally, two numerical experiments are conducted to validate our theoretical results.

Barotropic-Baroclinic Splitting for Multilayer Shallow Water Models with Exchanges

This work presents the numerical analysis of a barotropic-baroclinic splitting in a nonlinear multilayer framework with exchanges between the layers in terrain-following coordinates. The splitting is formulated as an exact operator splitting. The barotropic step handles free surface evolution and depth-averaged velocity via a well-balanced one-layer model, while the baroclinic step manages vertical exchanges between layers and adjusts velocities to their mean values. We show that the barotropic-baroclinic splitting preserves total energy conservation and meets both a discrete maximum principle and a discrete entropy inequality. Several numerical experiments are presented showing the gain in computational cost, particularly in low Froude simulations, with no loss of accuracy. The benefits of using a well-balancing strategy in the barotropic step to preserve the geostrophic equilibrium are inherited in the overall scheme.
