We consider a delayed nonlinear model of the dynamics of the immune system against a viral infection that contains a wild-type virus and a mutant. We consider the finite response time of the immune system and find sustained oscillatory behavior as well as chaotic behavior triggered by the presence of delays. We present a numeric analysis and some analytical results.
On a square lattice with aperiodic hopping terms, the dynamics of an initially localized one electron wave‐packet is investigated using a Taylor formalism to solve Schrödinger dynamic equation. The calculations suggest that a fast electron propagation (ballistic mode) is detected for a range of values of aperiodicity measure ν. When inserting static electric field effects in the model, the existence of an oscillatory behavior analogously to electronic dynamics in crystalline systems is verified (i.e., Bloch oscillations). The frequency and the the size of these oscillations are analyzed and the results are compared with the standard semi‐classical approach used in crystalline lattices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
