Hoax is an information or explanation with unconfirmed truth. Nowadays, social media is the most used media in hoax propagation. If no action is taken, hoax propagation can cause serious problems. In this paper, a mathematical model representing social media hoax propagation with forgetting mechanism is analyzed in order to study the dynamics of social media hoax propagation in real life. Based on the analysis result, we obtain two equilibria, namely, non-endemic equilibrium and endemic equilibrium whose local stabilities depend on the basic reproduction number or R0. Social media hoax propagation occurs when R0 > 1 and does not occur when R0 < 1. Based on the sensitivity analysis result, the probability that a hoax is considered attractive and the forgetting rate of social media users against hoaxes are the most influential parameters on the dynamics of social media hoax propagation. Next, in order to minimize the number of hoax spreaders and hoax contents on social media, three control variables, namely, anti-hoax campaign, punishment for hoax spreaders, and hoax deletion by authorized parties, are imposed to the mathematical model. The optimal control problem in this paper is solved by using Pontryagin Maximum Principle. The numerical simulation result shows that the bundle implementation of three control strategies is the most effective scenario to minimize the number of hoax spreaders and hoax contents on social media.

In this paper an advanced stochastic approach based a lattice rule with improved generating vector has been obtained and studied. The Unified Danish Eulerian Model (UNI-DEM) is a key element in our investigation since it is one of the most advanced large-scale mathematical models that describes adequately all physical and chemical processes. The calculations are done in a large spatial domain, which covers completely the European region and the Mediterranean, for certain time period. What is more, it studies the transportation of a number of pollutants and all these make it a perfect case study. The paper compares the described lattice rule and demonstrates its superiority over the plain Monte Carlo approach and Fibonacci based lattice rule. The proposed approach is robust and computationally efficient in estimating multidimensional integrals and thus sensitivity indices, which is vital in scientific computing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The cylindrical Pirani gauge sensitivity under different conditions is studied in our previous paper. We are modeled the Pirani gauge as cylindrical Couette flow – one dimensional axis symmetrical problem by using a statistical method – Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations numerical solving. The purpose of this article is to study the cylindrical two-dimensional Taylor-Couette flow with finite length of rarefied gas.

From a practical point of view, an urgent task in the formation of fresh water reserves is to study the process of changing the water level and salt concentration in the underground aquifer. In this paper work on the issues of groundwater movement and salt migration, changes in groundwater levels and mineralization processes were considered together.

For the uncertainty data problem, traditional methods are incapable of handling them that caused inaccuracy in data analysis and prediction. Uncertainty data often occurs during the data collection phase and cannot be used to generate geometric models directly. Therefore, this paper discusses the B-Spline curve interpolation modeling using intuitionistic alpha cut for the uncertainty data. Fuzzy set theory, intuitionistic fuzzy set, and geometry modeling are used and integrated with one each other to solve the data with uncertainty and generate the mathematical model. In detail, there are three main processes employed, the first of which is the fuzzy set theory applied to defined uncertainty data followed by the intuitionistic fuzzy set, which is used to consider the membership and non-membership values of the alpha before proceeding to the fuzzification and defuzzification process. Next, geometric modeling is utilised to construct mathematical geometry in the form of curves, which is the B-spline curve interpolation function. As a result, various numerical examples, as well as their algorithms for generating the desired curve, are shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper proposes a variant of describing the propagation of speech signals under ideal conditions using the mathematical apparatus of Radon in the interests of their subsequent identification. The task of describing the propagation of speech signals has been formulated and it has been shown that the main goal of its solution is to develop a universal mathematical apparatus based on a generalized mathematical model of acoustic wave propagation, which is considered as a spherically symmetric function from the distance to the wave source, described by the Radon transform, which provides automation identification and increases the efficiency of the removal of speech information. The concept of ideal conditions for the propagation of speech signals is described, under which it is necessary to have a point omnidirectional sound source, the constancy of the parameters of acoustic receiving devices, a homogeneous unlimited environment limited only by a flat earth's surface and described by a mathematical model with the Radon transform, where the Fourier transform is understood as the corresponding equivalent norm. A variant of describing the propagation of speech signals under ideal conditions using the mathematical apparatus of Radon is proposed, which makes it possible to identify the received signals, in which all the properties and features of the emitted speech signals that determine their belonging to a fixed object of generation of these signals, propagating under ideal conditions for unlimited distances before registration receiving devices retain all these properties and features. The presence in the database and knowledge of mappings of these properties and features, accumulated and replenished during the execution of applied tasks for the removal of speech information, makes it possible to automate the identification of received signals and fixed objects of their generation.

The purpose of this paper is to develop the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) transmission model using the fractional-order differential equation defined by Caputo. This model is developed based on the susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered model, commonly known as the SEIR model. The basic reproduction number, denoted by R0, is computed using the next-generation matrix method. The disease-free equilibrium point is evaluated, and local stability analysis is performed. The analysis shows that the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R0<1 and unstable when R0>1. In other words, the COVID-19 disease can be eliminated when R0< 1. Finally, numerical results are presented based on the real data of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mathematical models appear in many forms, such as instantaneous dynamics (ordinary differential equations) or time-lags dynamics (delay differential equations). It is important to investigate the effect on the model outputs when a perturbation is applied to the initial or boundary conditions, time delay parameters, or any model parameters in the governing equations. In this paper, we study the general theory of sensitivity analysis based on the direct differential method for systems governed by delay differential equations. Problems governed by ordinary differential equations can also be considered as a particular case of delay differential equations with the absence of delays. The normalized forward sensitivity indices are then computed to identify the important model inputs. To show the efficiency of the methodology, we apply the theory and numerical computations to immunology and infectious disease models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two stroke engines is comparatively small, simple in operation with less cost because of absence of valve mechanism. The performance of the engine is such that it has low brake thermal efficiency and higher exhaust emission because of incomplete combustion which results into high emission and fuel consumption. Scavenging is important for improvement of the engine performance by removing the exhaust gases from the engine. The paper details the modification in the engine for enhancing the scavenging process so that performance of engine in terms of brake power and thermal efficiency will increase. The modification in the two stroke engine is done by providing hole in transfer port for air aspiration. The general concept in using external air aided scavenging is to improve scavenging characteristics of base engine by reducing short-circuiting phenomenon. Investigation of the modified engine were done by evaluating the brake power and thermal efficiency of two stroke engine using the mathematical tools such as mathematical modeling, sensitivity and optimization. The paper highlights the modification in the engine to enhanced the performance of engine and the formulation of mathematical model. The formulated mathematical model predicts the performance of engine with the help of indices of each pie term formed with input variables. The positive indices of the pie term indicate the most influencing pie terms responsible for variation in the output variable such as brake power and thermal efficiency. The negative indices of the pie term indicate the inverse effect on the output variables as it is inversely proportional to the output variables brake power and thermal efficiency. Thus the exact mathematical model help to investigate the performance of the engine at lower cost with less time involved in experimentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Entropy is one of the important concepts in physics and thermodynamics and it is one of the quantities surrounded by amount of mystery. The ambiguity of this concept is due to several reasons, including the mathematical and physical interpretation of the concept as presented by Clausius. This ambiguity is also due in part to the widening of the use of the term entropy to represent several physical concepts that are not related to the basic concept of entropy as introduced by Clausius himself. In this paper, the mathematical and physical modeling of this term will be reviewed. Furthermore, this paper will show how does this term has been used to describe some physical concepts which are not related to the original use of it. And finally, in order to remove the confusion and ambiguity surrounded this term, the paper will show how should the entropy explained and understanding from the macroscopic thermodynamics point of view.

A process to give teaching assignments for the teachers or lecturers to the available days and times by meeting certain goals is called timetabling. The lecturer's availability, number of courses, type of courses, number of course credits, classroom availability, course start time, and course end time are the factors that affect the learning schedule that makes timetabling complicated especially in university. Therefore, by using a mathematical optimization model, timetabling process becomes easier. Although many mathematical models have been made to do timetabling, there is no general model that can use in every university. In this paper, Binary Integer Programming is used to build the learning schedule in the Mathematics Study Program of Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). The compulsory courses do not overlap, the courses with the same year are evenly distributed, the lecturer's schedule being unable to teach, the lecturer's schedule shouldn't be teaching, and the lecturer's schedule should be teaching become the consideration in this paper. Then, based on the given data, there are three outputs, that is the schedule of the lecturers, the schedule based on the course year, and the schedule based on the day. The schedule that has been made based on the model is quite good and can be implemented in the daily life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The task of developing effective granular aggregates, as well as the creation of a mathematical model and management of this process, is the most promising and relevant. The paper deals with the construction of mathematical models based on the results of experimental studies of granular aggregates (GA). We present the processing of the results of experimental studies on the production of granular aggregates using the classical method with the use of the high-level general-purpose Python programming language. The processing of research results is fully object-oriented. This approach to the generation of the obtained results allowed us to automate the processing of the array of data for the planning of the experiment. The results of mathematical modeling and nomograms reflecting the variability of the developed compositions, which allowed to obtain samples with the required technological, physical-mechanical and operational characteristics are presented. The paper calculates the values of reproducibility dispersions: for sand fraction ≤0.16 mm - 0.889; for sand fraction ≤0.315 mm - 0.967; for sand fraction ≤0.63 mm - 0.981. The analysis of nomograms has shown that the greatest strength values have the compositions with the sand fraction of 0.16 mm and the minimum content of sand (as an aggregate). For mixtures with sand fractions ≤0.315 mm it is established that the strongest will be the mixture with the minimum content of aggregate. It is revealed that when using sand fraction ≤0.63 mm the strength is reduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The emerging growth of edge devices and the expansion of IoT systems produced the demand to enhance their security algorithms to run on diverse applications and appliances. Lightweight cipher algorithms are mainly designed for IoT-constrained devices. Thus, due to the new services and applications of IoT that require extensive networks and devices, the need for efficient lightweight cipher algorithm implementations is a critical issue. In this paper, an enhanced cipher LED-128 algorithm based on Galois Fields (GF) operations is presented. The mathematical model of the LED algorithm simply requires a slight execution time for encryption-decryption processing. The Enhanced LED algorithm is applied with 64 bits of block plaintext and 128 bits of the key size which turn out 64 bits block size of ciphertext. The proposed algorithm is presented to advance the randomness of cipher text by enhancing the key schedule based on GF operations. The developed key schedule is enhanced to generate a robust key for the proposed algorithm. The NIST statistical tests have been examined and experimented for the proposed enhanced algorithm by utilizing diverse keys with distinct cipher text, which passed the randomness for each test. The proposed algorithm demonstrated a high confusion and diffusion based on the correlation coefficient analysis. The executed time for the encryption and decryption processes of the proposed enhanced LED algorithm is concentrated at minimum compared to the original LED-128 cipher algorithm. Hence, the proposed enhanced algorithm can be implemented for diverse IoT systems and can reach the trade-off between cost and performance as an efficient lightweight algorithm. The results of the enhanced algorithm are benchmarked with the current LED 64/128 algorithms and presented significant improvements in the performance compared to original design of the LED cipher algorithm.

Cigarettes are one of the tobacco products that contain many chemicals that cause various types of diseases. In addition, cigarettes can also cause addiction and dependence for smokers. The purpose of this work is to analyze the equilibrium point of the mathematical model of the cessation of smoking behavior and the application of optimal control in the form of education (ul) and candy treatment (u2). Based on the analysis of the uncontrolled model, two equilibrium points were obtained, namely the non-endemic equilibrium point and the endemic equilibrium point. The local stability of the equilibrium point and the existence of the endemic equilibrium point depend on the basic reproduction number (R0). The non-endemic equilibrium point is asymptotically stable if fulfills two conditions, there are β Λ − η M 0 μ μ (2 μ + δ + d + γ) < 1 and R0 < 1, while the endemic equilibrium point is asymptotically stable if R0 > 1. In this paper, parameter sensitivity analysis will also be carried out to determine the most influential parameters on the model. From the results of sensitivity analysis, the most influential parameters are parameters β and η. Furthermore, the control variable problem in the model is determined using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. The results of numerical simulations show that giving control in the form of education and candy treatment simultaneously provides effective results to minimize the individual population of smoking with minimal costs.

Computational modelling technique represents the only method, how to assess a functionality of a designed nuclear wastes repository in a long term period that accounts for hundreds of year. Such a technique is based on exploitation of results of short-term experiments that work as input data. Since the modelling outputs are strongly dependent on input data, the material parameters in particular, the precision of these measurement together with a consistency and stability of the mathematical model used play an important role in the reliability of results produced. This paper therefore aims at sensitivity analysis of a selected diffusion mathematical model on the second Fick's law basis, that is used for a description of radionuclides transport (90Sr) in an existing radioactive waste repository concept when a hypothetical accident is assumed. Within the sensitivity analysis, the parameters of particular materials involved in the repository concept are varied by 10% which corresponds to common measurement uncertainties. The results provided by the model showed very low deviations as the envelope curves differed by up to 10.5%. Such a difference can be considered as a sign of very good model consistency, especially in the light of the logarithmic axis used for the radionuclide concentration plotting and very rough time axis that covers a period of 2000 years. Such factors, in general, do not require an increased precision and mathematical model analyzed was proved to be precise enough to be applied in further research in this field.

Two-wheeled self-balancing robot is one of the popular applications of the inverted pendulum concept which is unstable in nature with highly nonlinear properties. This paper presents a novel control algorithm to reduce the settling time and disturbance rejection property of the balancing robot. A mathematical model of the two-wheeled self-balancing robot was utilized as the transfer function from motor input voltage to tilt angle of the robot. Three control algorithms were designed, namely; classical proportional-integral-derivative controller, super twisting sliding mode controller, and the proposed control algorithm, a combination of both proportional-integral-derivative controller and super twisting sliding mode controller. A sinusoidal signal with zero magnitude was used as a reference input signal while an impulse signal with a magnitude of five volts was applied as a disturbance signal to the robot. The output signal, that is, the tilt angle of the robot was recorded. The control performances of the designed control algorithms based on recorded output signals were compared in terms of settling time, maximum overshoot, steady-state error, and disturbance rejection property. The comparison simulation results showed that the proposed control algorithm has good disturbance rejection property and able to improve 55.4% in settling time without overshoot and steady-state error.

In this paper for the first time a Hammersley and van der Corput sequences comparison for multidimensional sensitivity analysis has been done. Sensitivity analysis of model outputs to variation or natural uncertainties of model inputs is very significant for improving the reliability of these models. By definition, sensitivity analysis is a procedure for studying how sensitive are the output results of large-scale mathematical models to some uncertainties of the input data. The algorithms for multidimensional sensitivity analysis are applied to compute global Sobol sensitivity measures corresponding to the influence of several input parameters on the concentrations of important air pollutants. A deep experimental investigation is done to demonstrate the pros and cons of both approaches in the case study of the considered model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy can be achieved through various techniques such as electrostatic, electromagnetic, or piezoelectric transduction. The most helpful energy storage density is found in piezoelectric transducers. Due to these benefits, piezoelectric materials have been utilised frequently to create piezoelectric energy harvesters since they have a high electrical conversion coefficient and do not need an additional power source. The most researched piezoelectric structures for vibration energy harvesting are cantilever configurations. Piezoelectric cantilever beams monitor infrastructure, which benefits flexibility and simple encapsulation. Additionally, because of the low self-vibration frequency, it is relatively suitable for low-frequency circumstances. The research methodology in this study focuses on reviewing previous papers to formulate the mathematical model by using partial differential equations. The electromechanical governing equation can be derived through theoretical studies. This mathematical model can describe the electromechanical interaction to determine the power output based on the mechanical properties of piezoelectric energy harvesting. The current research status of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting technology includes a discussion on future advancements in the development of high-order finite element method harvesting technology.

Background subtraction for foreground detection has been commonly applied for varying usages to identify objects in motion within a scene, such as that in video surveillance. In fact, significant publications were noted in the last decade within this area of background modelling. Despite the several surveys noted in the literature, none has offered a comprehensive review in this field. Therefore, this paper elaborates both conventional and recent approaches in light of background modelling. Initially, the approaches listed in the prior works were categorized depending on mathematical models. Next, these models were analyzed based on challenging scenarios that they managed, the challenges and issues are then summarized. After that, an enhanced method is proposed, resulting from hybridizing the weight optimizations from CNN with a set of customized features derived by the Viola-Jones detector to enhance the overall network's effectiveness. The initial findings show that the proposed method superior the state-of-the-art models with respect to accuracy, recall, precision, and F-measure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper considers the construction of a mathematical model and the development of an algorithm for studying the free vibrations of a three-layer circular shell with a light transverse isotropic aggregate, supported by longitudinal rigidity ribs under load in the middle surface of the outer layers and ribs. The ribs are symmetrical about the middle surface of the three-layer circular shell. The rigidity of the ribs and the distance between them were considered the same. Kirchhoff-Lev hypotheses were accepted for the outer bearing layers, and a linear law of variation of tangential displacements in thickness was used for the aggregate and ribs, and the bending of the ribs in the vertical plane was taken into account. The system of differential equations of free vibrations of the reinforced three-layer shell, which is obtained on the basis of the Ostrogradsky-Hamilton variational principle, is simplified by introducing the functions F and ψ. The boundary conditions of the area of the shell closed between the ribs are set. With the help of the boundary transition, the conditions along the lines of the ribs are obtained, taking into account and without taking into account the shear deformations in the ribs, but without taking into account the torsional rigidity of the ribs. The equation of motion of a reinforced three-layer shell is obtained. The frequencies of free vibrations were studied and the values of the parameter of the first frequency of free vibrations for the circular shell supported by one and three longitudinal rigidity ribs depending on physical and mechanical properties of materials and geometric dimensions of the shell, curvature parameter and aggregate rigidity parameter were calculated. The tables for determining the coefficient of the first frequency of free vibrations ω for the shell supported by one and three rigidity ribs at δω = 0.2 and different values of the shear parameter kо and the rigidity parameter γ are given.

In the paper, one parabolic-type boundary value problem is solved for determining the temperature field of the raw cotton and air components in drum dryers. In the proposed model, convective heat transfer is used according to Newton's law and the evaporation of moisture from the components of raw cotton (seeds, fiber) and the influence of air velocity are taken intoaccount. The resulting system of Galerkin's differential equations is solved by the finite-difference method in time. It is shown that the approximate solution is estimated according to Galerkin method in Sobolev space. The numerical results of the considered problem are obtained by the Bubnov–Galerkin method. A comparative analysis is carried out with experimental data. It is shown that the proposed mathematical model and its numerical algorithm adequately describe the drying process of raw cotton.

It is difficult to deal with the uncertainty data issue which has incompleteness, impreciseness and incertitude. Normally, uncertain and vague information is confronted in form of data point. Various mathematical models were developed to resolve issues concerning uncertainty point. In this paper, Neutrosophic Bézier Curve model will be introduced. A mathematical model with a redefinition of the control points that is characterized by three important components of neutrosophic set is designed to solve this problem. These control points are blended with the Bézier basic functions to generate multiple models in the form of neutrosophic spline curve and surface. Then, the related data can be translated through the construction of those models with the neutrosophic concept and its relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Problem-solving using mathematics in various aspects of daily life encourages the importance of mathematical modeling skills. Mathematical modeling holds a crucial role, particularly when solving real-world or contextual problems, as it bridges the extra-mathematical world and the mathematical world. This paper discusses a study on the mathematical modeling skills of eighth-graders in solving contextual problems. This study aimed to investigate the mathematical modeling competency level achievement of the students. This study used the qualitative research method with a case study approach, consisting of five major stages: design, preparation, data collection, data analysis, and reporting. In the design stage, we determined the research focus, and in the preparation stage, we developed research instruments. We collected data by giving tests to 24 participants. After we analyzed the data, we reviewed and rearranged all of the research stages. The results showed that, out of six levels of mathematical modeling competency, which includes level 0 to level 5, most students only achieved level 3. Therefore, we conclude that the students are not yet capable of carrying out all aspects of the mathematical modeling processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The solution to the problem of the movement of an aircraft along the runway in a turbulent atmosphere is a complex and urgent problem. The complexity of the problem lies in the fact that, in the general case, the mathematical model of the problem is reduced to solving nonlinear differential equations, the right side of which is a random function caused by the presence of a turbulent atmosphere. To solve this problem, simplified models of the problem are used, and linear differential equations describe it. If the plane is an inherently deformable solid, then the problem is mathematically described with weakly singular integrodifferential equations with given initial conditions. The present work is devoted to the solution of such problems. In this paper, using the method of eliminating the features of integral and integrodifferential equations, an algorithm for the numerical solution of weight functions has been developed, which allows, in particular, to obtain numerical solutions to the problem when an airplane is considered an ideally elastic solid. Consequently, the algorithm and method of solving the proposed in this paper allow you to test the accuracy of the solution by comparing it with well-known solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of digital tools in algebra education is expected to not only contribute to master skill, but also to acquire conceptual understanding. The question is how digital tools affect students' thinking and understanding. This paper presents an analysis of data of one group of three grade seventh students (12-13 year-old) on the use of a digital tool for algebra, the Cover-up applet for solving equations in particular. This case study was part of a larger teaching experiment on initial algebra enriched with digital technology which aimed to improve students' conceptual understanding and skills in solving equations in one variable. The qualitative analysis of a video observation, digital and written work showed that the use of the applet affects student thinking in terms of strategies used by students while dealing with the equations. We conclude that the effects of the use of the digital tool can be traced from student problem solving strategies on paper-and-pencil environment which are similar to strategies while working with the digital tool. In future research, we recommend to use specific theoretical lenses, such as the theory of instrumental genesis and the ontosemiotic approach, to reveal more explicit relationships between students' conceptual understanding and the use of a digital tool.

The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the airflow as compressible viscous heat-conducting medium in the tear-off zones arising near the surface of a high-speed aircraft having a segmental-conical shape blunted frontally to the oncoming flow. The developed mathematical model is based on solving the discrete analogs of the equations of gas dynamics on a structured computational grid for compressible viscous heat-conducting chemical neutral gas. For turbulence modeling two equation of the SST k-w model were added to Navier-Stokes equations. The presented results of modeling are compared with experimental data. The conclusions are made about the correctness of the application of the presented mathematical model for the prediction of flow parameters in tear-off zones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents a method for determining the force characteristics of the cutting process, introduced in the format of a modular system. The modules of input data generation, experiment planning, and results processing are highlighted and considered. The developed modular system makes it possible to obtain a polynomial dependence of the force characteristics on the processing parameters in a given technological area, which guarantees high accuracy of analytical calculations and eliminates errors associated with extrapolation. Within the modules, several features are considered, ensuring the connection of mathematical modeling and mechanical processing processes. In particular, the definition of the most significant parameters, the imposition of technological limitations, the use of multifactorial experiments, including fractional factorial ones, methods of decoding dependencies into natural values, and errors that arise in this case are considered. The use of the proposed modular system is demonstrated by examples of external longitudinal turning, drilling, and threading with taps and threaded cutters. It is shown that the use of this modular system makes it possible to predict the values of the cutting force within the factor space with an error of 2%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
