One of the most popular models for quantitatively understanding the emergence of drug resistance both in bacterial colonies and in malignant tumors was introduced long ago by Luria and Delbr\"uck. Here, individual resistant mutants emerge…
Game dynamics in which three or more strategies are cyclically competitive, as represented by the rock-scissors-paper game, have attracted practical and theoretical interests. In evolutionary dynamics, cyclic competition results in…
Dispersal of species to find a more favorable habitat is important in population dynamics. Dispersal rates evolve in response to the relative success of different dispersal strategies. In a simplified deterministic treatment (J. Dockery, V.…
A new method of direct adaptive pole placement control (APPC) is developed for plants with unmatched uncertainty, which linearly depends on a state vector. It guarantees the exponential stability of a control system and exponential…
Comprehensive models of stochastic, clonally reproducing populations are defined in terms of general branching processes, allowing birth during maternal life, as for higher organisms, or by splitting, as in cell division. The populations…
If two species exhibit different nonlinear responses to a single shared resource, and if each species modifies the resource dynamics such that this favors its competitor, they may stably coexist. This coexistence mechanism, known as…
This paper studies an optimal control problem for an adoption-opinion model that couples innovation adoption with opinion formation on a multilayer network. Adoption spreads through social contagion and perceived benefits, while opinions…
This work is devoted to the study of a stochastic logistic growth model with and without the Allee effect. Such a model describes the evolution of a population under environmental stochastic fluctuations and is in the form of a stochastic…
Previously, we developed a population model incorporating the Allee effect and periodic environmental fluctuations, in which organisms alternate between nomadic and colonial behaviours. This switching strategy is regulated by biological…
We present two adaptive schemes for dynamically choosing the number of parallel instances in parallel evolutionary algorithms. This includes the choice of the offspring population size in a (1+$\lambda$) EA as a special case. Our schemes…
We construct an individual-based metapopulation model of population genetics featuring migration, mutation, selection and genetic drift. In the case of a single `island', the model reduces to the Moran model. Using the diffusion…
Non-linear dynamical systems involving small populations of individuals may sustain oscillations in the population densities arising from the discrete changes in population numbers due to random events. By applying these ideas to nanolasers…
The present paper is concerned with a nonlinear partial differential control system subject to a state-dependent and nonconvex control constraint. This system models the dynamics of populations in the vegetation--prey--predator framework…
We discuss the population dynamics with selection and random diffusion, keeping the total population constant, in a fitness landscape associated with Constraint Satisfaction, a paradigm for difficult optimization problems. We obtain a phase…
In this paper, we introduce Adaptive Cluster Lasso(ACL) method for variable selection in high dimensional sparse regression models with strongly correlated variables. To handle correlated variables, the concept of clustering or grouping…
Some populations, such as red blood cells (RBCs), exhibit a pattern of population decline that is closer to linear rather than exponential, which has proven to be unexpectedly challenging to describe with a single simple mathematical model.…
In this paper, we propose several approaches to learn the optimal population-dependent controls in order to solve mean field control problems (MFC). Such policies enable us to solve MFC problems with forms of common noises at a level of…
Currently, the general aim of flocking and formation control laws for multi-agent systems is to form and maintain a rigid configuration, such as, the alpha-lattices in flocking control methods, where the desired distance between each pair…
How diversity is maintained in natural ecosystems is a long-standing question in Theoretical Ecology. By studying a system that combines ecological dynamics, heterogeneous interactions and spatial structure, we uncover a new mechanism for…
The Allee effect describes a decline in population fitness at low densities, potentially leading to extinction. In predator-prey systems, an emergent Allee effect can arise due to interactions such as density-dependent maturation rates and…
