  • On the first bifurcation of Stokes waves

    by V. Kozlov

    Stokes water waves on the vorticity flow in a two-dimensional channel of finite depth are treated. In the author’s paper published in JDE, 2024, the existence of subharmonic bifurcations on a branch of Stokes waves was proved. Such bifurcations occur near the first bifurcation in the set of Stokes waves. Moreover it was shown in that paper that the bifurcating solutions build a connected continuum containing large amplitude waves. This fact was proved under a certain assumption concerning the second eigenvalue of the Fréchet derivative. In this paper this assumption is investigated and explicit conditions ensuring it are presented.

    Global Bifurcation and Highest Waves on Water of Finite Depth

    by Vladimir Kozlov, Evgeniy Lokharu

    We consider the two-dimensional problem for steady water waves with vorticity on water of finite depth. While neglecting the effects of surface tension we construct connected families of large amplitude periodic waves approaching a limiting wave, which is either a solitary wave, the highest solitary wave, the highest Stokes wave or a Stokes wave with a breaking profile. In particular, when the vorticity is nonnegative we prove the existence of highest Stokes waves with an included angle of 120 $$^\circ $$∘ . In contrast to previous studies, we fix the Bernoulli constant and consider the wavelength as a bifurcation parameter, which guarantees that the limiting wave has a finite depth. In fact, this is the first rigorous proof of the existence of extreme Stokes waves with vorticity on water of finite depth. Aside from the existence of highest waves, we provide a new result about the regularity of Stokes waves of arbitrary amplitude (including extreme waves). Furthermore, we prove several new facts about steady waves, such as a lower bound for the wavelength of Stokes waves, while also eliminating a possibility of the wave breaking for waves with non-negative vorticity.


  • Reconstruction of the Radiation Condition and Solution for the Helmholtz Equation in a Semi-infinite Strip from Cauchy Data on an Interior Segment

    by Pauline Achieng, Fredrik Berntsson, Vladimir Kozlov

    We consider an inverse problem for the Helmholtz equation of reconstructing a solution from measurements taken on a segment inside a semi-infinite strip. Homogeneous Neumann conditions are prescribed on both side boundaries of the strip and an unknown Dirichlet condition on the remaining part of the boundary. Additional complexity is that the radiation condition at infinity is unknown. Our aim is to find the unknown function in the Dirichlet boundary condition and the radiation condition. Such problems appear in acoustics to determine acoustical sources and surface vibrations from acoustic field measurements. The problem is split into two sub-problems, a well-posed and an ill-posed problem. We analyse the theoretical properties of both problems; in particular, we show that the radiation condition is described by a stable non-linear problem. The second problem is ill-posed, and we use the Landweber iteration method together with the discrepancy principle to regularize it. Numerical tests show that the approach works well.


  • Robin–Dirichlet alternating iterative procedure for solving the Cauchy problem for Helmholtz equation in an unbounded domain

    by Pauline Achieng, Fredrik Berntsson, Vladimir Kozlov

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation with a domain in ℝ d {\mathbb{R}^{d}} , d ≥ 2 {d\geq 2} with N cylindrical outlets to infinity with bounded inclusions in ℝ d - 1 . {\mathbb{R}^{d-1}.} Cauchy data are prescribed on the boundary of the bounded domains and the aim is to find solution on the unbounded part of the boundary. In 1989, Kozlov and Maz’ya [14] proposed an alternating iterative method for solving Cauchy problems associated with elliptic, self-adjoint and positive-definite operators in bounded domains. Different variants of this method for solving Cauchy problems associated with Helmholtz-type operators exists. We consider the variant proposed by Berntsson, Kozlov, Mpinganzima and Turesson (2018) [4] for bounded domains and derive the necessary conditions for the convergence of the procedure in unbounded domains. For the numerical implementation, a finite difference method is used to solve the problem in a simple rectangular domain in ℝ 2 {\mathbb{R}^{2}} that represent a truncated infinite strip. The numerical results shows that by appropriate truncation of the domain and with appropriate choice of the Robin parameters μ 0 {\mu_{0}} and μ 1 {\mu_{1}} , the Robin–Dirichlet alternating iterative procedure is convergent.

    On Loops in Water Wave Branches and Monotonicity of Water Waves

    by Vladimir Kozlov

    We give a quite simple approach how to prove the absence of loops in bifurcation branches of water waves in rotational case with arbitrary vorticity distribution. The supporting flow may contain stagnation points and critical layers and water surface is allowed to be overhanging. Monotonicity properties of the free surface are presented. Especially simple criterium of absence of loops is given for bifurcation branches when the bifurcation parameter is the water wave period. We show that there are no loops if you start from a water wave with a positive/negative vertical component of velocity on the positive half period.

    Global stability of an age-structured population model on several temporally variable patches

    by Vladimir Kozlov, Sonja Radosavljevic, Vladimir Tkachev, Uno Wennergren

    We consider an age-structured density-dependent population model on several temporally variable patches. There are two key assumptions on which we base model setup and analysis. First, intraspecific competition is limited to competition between individuals of the same age (pure intra-cohort competition) and it affects density-dependent mortality. Second, dispersal between patches ensures that each patch can be reached from every other patch, directly or through several intermediary patches, within individual reproductive age. Using strong monotonicity we prove existence and uniqueness of solution and analyze its large-time behavior in cases of constant, periodically variable and irregularly variable environment. In analogy to the next generation operator, we introduce the net reproductive operator and the basic reproduction number $$R_0$$ R 0 for time-independent and periodical models and establish the permanence dichotomy: if $$R_0\le 1$$ R 0 ≤ 1 , extinction on all patches is imminent, and if $$R_0>1$$ R 0 > 1 , permanence on all patches is guaranteed. We show that a solution for the general time-dependent problem can be bounded by above and below by solutions to the associated periodic problems. Using two-side estimates, we establish uniform boundedness and uniform persistence of a solution for the general time-dependent problem and describe its asymptotic behaviour.

    Effect of density dependence on coinfection dynamics: part 2

    by Jonathan Andersson, Samia Ghersheen, Vladimir Kozlov, Vladimir G. Tkachev, Uno Wennergren

    In this paper we continue the stability analysis of the model for coinfection with density dependent susceptible population introduced in Andersson et al. (Effect of density dependence on coinfection dynamics.arXiv:2008.09987, 2020). We consider the remaining parameter values left out from Andersson et al. (Effect of density dependence on coinfection dynamics.arXiv:2008.09987, 2020). We look for coexistence equilibrium points, their stability and dependence on the carrying capacityK. Two sets of parameter value are determined, each giving rise to different scenarios for the equilibrium branch parametrized byK. In both scenarios the branch includes coexistence points implying that both coinfection and single infection of both diseases can exist together in a stable state. There are no simple explicit expression for these equilibrium points and we will require a more delicate analysis of these points with a new bifurcation technique adapted to such epidemic related problems. The first scenario is described by the branch of stable equilibrium points which includes a continuum of coexistence points starting at a bifurcation equilibrium point with zero single infection strain #1 and finishing at another bifurcation point with zero single infection strain #2. In the second scenario the branch also includes a section of coexistence equilibrium points with the same type of starting point but the branch stays inside the positive cone after this. The coexistence equilibrium points are stable at the start of the section. It stays stable as long as the product ofKand the rate $${\bar{\gamma }}$$γ¯ of coinfection resulting from two single infections is small but, after this it can reach a Hopf bifurcation and periodic orbits will appear.

    Effect of density dependence on coinfection dynamics

    by Jonathan Andersson, Samia Ghersheen, Vladimir Kozlov, Vladimir G. Tkachev, Uno Wennergren

    In this paper we develop a compartmental model of SIR type (the abbreviation refers to the number of Susceptible, Infected and Recovered people) that models the population dynamics of two diseases that can coinfect. We discuss how the underlying dynamics depends on the carrying capacity K: from a simple dynamics to a more complex. This can also help in understanding the appearance of more complicated dynamics, for example, chaos and periodic oscillations, for large values of K. It is also presented that pathogens can invade in population and their invasion depends on the carrying capacity K which shows that the progression of disease in population depends on carrying capacity. More specifically, we establish all possible scenarios (the so-called transition diagrams) describing an evolution of an (always unique) locally stable equilibrium state (with only non-negative compartments) for fixed fundamental parameters (density independent transmission and vital rates) as a function of the carrying capacity K. An important implication of our results is the following important observation. Note that one can regard the value of K as the natural ‘size’ (the capacity) of a habitat. From this point of view, an isolation of individuals (the strategy which showed its efficiency for COVID-19 in various countries) into smaller resp. larger groups can be modelled by smaller resp. bigger values of K. Then we conclude that the infection dynamics becomes more complex for larger groups, as it fairly maybe expected for values of the reproduction number $$R_0\approx 1$$ R 0 ≈ 1 . We show even more, that for the values $$R_0>1$$ R 0 > 1 there are several (in fact four different) distinguished scenarios where the infection complexity (the number of nonzero infected classes) arises with growing K. Our approach is based on a bifurcation analysis which allows to generalize considerably the previous Lotka-Volterra model considered previously in Ghersheen et al. (Math Meth Appl Sci 42(8), 2019).

    Modeling of Fluid Flow in a Flexible Vessel with Elastic Walls

    by Vladimir Kozlov, Sergei Nazarov, German Zavorokhin

    We exploit a two-dimensional model (Ghosh et al. in Q J Mech Appl Math 71(3):349–367, 2018; Kozlov and Nazarov in Dokl Phys 56(11):560–566, 2011, J Math Sci 207(2):249–269, 2015) describing the elastic behavior of the wall of a flexible blood vessel which takes interaction with surrounding muscle tissue and the 3D fluid flow into account. We study time periodic flows in an infinite cylinder with such intricate boundary conditions. The main result is that solutions of this problem do not depend on the period and they are nothing else but the time independent Poiseuille flow. Similar solutions of the Stokes equations for the rigid wall (the no-slip boundary condition) depend on the period and their profile depends on time.
