Source time functions of earthquakes based on a stochastic differential equation.

ABSTRACT: Source time functions are essential observable quantities in seismology; they have been investigated via kinematic inversion analyses and compiled into databases. Given the numerous available results, some empirical laws on source time functions have been established, even though they are complicated and fluctuated time series. Theoretically, stochastic differential equations, including a random variable and white noise, are suitable for modeling complicated phenomena. In this study, we model source time functions as the convolution of two stochastic processes (known as Bessel processes). We mathematically and numerically demonstrate that this convolution satisfies some of the empirical laws of source time functions, including non-negativity, finite duration, unimodality, a growth rate proportional to [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]-type spectra, and frequency distribution (i.e., the Gutenberg-Richter law). We interpret this convolution and speculate that the stress drop rate and fault impedance follow the same Bessel process.

A stochastic differential equation model for transcriptional regulatory networks.

Project description:BackgroundThis work explores the quantitative characteristics of the local transcriptional regulatory network based on the availability of time dependent gene expression data sets. The dynamics of the gene expression level are fitted via a stochastic differential equation model, yielding a set of specific regulators and their contribution.ResultsWe show that a beta sigmoid function that keeps track of temporal parameters is a novel prototype of a regulatory function, with the effect of improving the performance of the profile prediction. The stochastic differential equation model follows well the dynamic of the gene expression levels.ConclusionWhen adapted to biological hypotheses and combined with a promoter analysis, the method proposed here leads to improved models of the transcriptional regulatory networks.

A stochastic differential equation analysis of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.

Project description:BackgroundClinical measurements of intracranial pressure (ICP) over time show fluctuations around the deterministic time path predicted by a classic mathematical model in hydrocephalus research. Thus an important issue in mathematical research on hydrocephalus remains unaddressed--modeling the effect of noise on CSF dynamics. Our objective is to mathematically model the noise in the data.MethodsThe classic model relating the temporal evolution of ICP in pressure-volume studies to infusions is a nonlinear differential equation based on natural physical analogies between CSF dynamics and an electrical circuit. Brownian motion was incorporated into the differential equation describing CSF dynamics to obtain a nonlinear stochastic differential equation (SDE) that accommodates the fluctuations in ICP.ResultsThe SDE is explicitly solved and the dynamic probabilities of exceeding critical levels of ICP under different clinical conditions are computed. A key finding is that the probabilities display strong threshold effects with respect to noise. Above the noise threshold, the probabilities are significantly influenced by the resistance to CSF outflow and the intensity of the noise.ConclusionsFluctuations in the CSF formation rate increase fluctuations in the ICP and they should be minimized to lower the patient's risk. The nonlinear SDE provides a scientific methodology for dynamic risk management of patients. The dynamic output of the SDE matches the noisy ICP data generated by the actual intracranial dynamics of patients better than the classic model used in prior research.

Identifiability analysis for stochastic differential equation models in systems biology.

Project description:Mathematical models are routinely calibrated to experimental data, with goals ranging from building predictive models to quantifying parameters that cannot be measured. Whether or not reliable parameter estimates are obtainable from the available data can easily be overlooked. Such issues of parameter identifiability have important ramifications for both the predictive power of a model, and the mechanistic insight that can be obtained. Identifiability analysis is well-established for deterministic, ordinary differential equation (ODE) models, but there are no commonly adopted methods for analysing identifiability in stochastic models. We provide an accessible introduction to identifiability analysis and demonstrate how existing ideas for analysis of ODE models can be applied to stochastic differential equation (SDE) models through four practical case studies. To assess structural identifiability, we study ODEs that describe the statistical moments of the stochastic process using open-source software tools. Using practically motivated synthetic data and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, we assess parameter identifiability in the context of available data. Our analysis shows that SDE models can often extract more information about parameters than deterministic descriptions. All code used to perform the analysis is available on Github.

Emergent user behavior on Twitter modelled by a stochastic differential equation.

Project description:Data from the social-media site, Twitter, is used to study the fluctuations in tweet rates of brand names. The tweet rates are the result of a strongly correlated user behavior, which leads to bursty collective dynamics with a characteristic 1/f noise. Here we use the aggregated "user interest" in a brand name to model collective human dynamics by a stochastic differential equation with multiplicative noise. The model is supported by a detailed analysis of the tweet rate fluctuations and it reproduces both the exact bursty dynamics found in the data and the 1/f noise.

Time Resolved Raman Scattering of Molecules: A Quantum Mechanics Approach with Stochastic Schroedinger Equation.

Project description:Raman scattering is a very powerful tool employed to characterize molecular systems. Here we propose a novel theoretical strategy to calculate the Raman cross-section in time domain, by computing the cumulative Raman signal emitted during the molecular evolution in time. Our model is based on a numerical propagation of the vibronic wave function under the effect of a light pulse of arbitrary shape. This approach can therefore tackle a variety of experimental setups. Both resonance and nonresonance Raman scattering can be retrieved, and also the time-dependent fluorescence emission is computed. The model has been applied to porphyrin considering both resonance and nonresonance conditions and varying the incident field duration. Moreover the effect of the vibrational relaxation, which should be taken into account when its time scale is similar to that of the Raman emission, has been included through the stochastic Schroedinger equation approach.

Estimating and Assessing Differential Equation Models with Time-Course Data.

Project description:Ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are widely used to describe chemical or biological processes. This Article considers the estimation and assessment of such models on the basis of time-course data. Due to experimental limitations, time-course data are often noisy, and some components of the system may not be observed. Furthermore, the computational demands of numerical integration have hindered the widespread adoption of time-course analysis using ODEs. To address these challenges, we explore the efficacy of the recently developed MAGI (MAnifold-constrained Gaussian process Inference) method for ODE inference. First, via a range of examples we show that MAGI is capable of inferring the parameters and system trajectories, including unobserved components, with appropriate uncertainty quantification. Second, we illustrate how MAGI can be used to assess and select different ODE models with time-course data based on MAGI's efficient computation of model predictions. Overall, we believe MAGI is a useful method for the analysis of time-course data in the context of ODE models, which bypasses the need for any numerical integration.

An ordinary differential equation based solution path algorithm.

Project description:Efron, Hastie, Johnstone and Tibshirani (2004) proposed Least Angle Regression (LAR), a solution path algorithm for the least squares regression. They pointed out that a slight modification of the LAR gives the LASSO (Tibshirani, 1996) solution path. However it is largely unknown how to extend this solution path algorithm to models beyond the least squares regression. In this work, we propose an extension of the LAR for generalized linear models and the quasi-likelihood model by showing that the corresponding solution path is piecewise given by solutions of ordinary differential equation systems. Our contribution is twofold. First, we provide a theoretical understanding on how the corresponding solution path propagates. Second, we propose an ordinary differential equation based algorithm to obtain the whole solution path.

Ab-initio variational wave functions for the time-dependent many-electron Schrodinger equation.

Project description:Understanding the real-time evolution of many-electron quantum systems is essential for studying dynamical properties in condensed matter, quantum chemistry, and complex materials, yet it poses a significant theoretical and computational challenge. Our work introduces a variational approach for fermionic time-dependent wave functions, surpassing mean-field approximations by accurately capturing many-body correlations. We employ time-dependent Jastrow factors and backflow transformations, enhanced through neural networks parameterizations. To compute the optimal time-dependent parameters, we employ the time-dependent variational Monte Carlo technique and introduce a new method based on Taylor-root expansions of the propagator, enhancing the accuracy of our simulations. The approach is demonstrated in three distinct systems. In all cases, we show clear signatures of many-body correlations in the dynamics. The results showcase the ability of our variational approach to accurately describe the time evolution, providing insight into quantum dynamical effects in interacting electronic systems, beyond the capabilities of mean-field.

A universal equation-of-state model based on single variable functions.

Project description:Since the ideal gas equation of state (EOS) was established in 1840, a wide variety of EOS theories have been developed. However, due to the diversity of material structures and the complexity of intermolecular interactions, numerous EOS either have complex forms or have empirical coefficients without physical meaning, which severely limits their applications. This paper builds a simple and universal EOS model by means of a fully macroscopic thermodynamic approach. Firstly, two single variable thermodynamic functions as a function of pressure only and as a function of temperature only, respectively, are constructed. On this basis, two EOS in the forms of P-V-T and P-S-T are obtained by thermodynamic derivation, which are almost as simple as the ideal gas EOS. There are no assumptions about material structures and intermolecular interactions involved here. Therefore, the model is universal. Moreover, the coefficients in these two EOS have clear thermodynamic significance and thus can be calculated directly without fitting. The model is shown to characterize the thermodynamic properties of substances well and may play an important role in high-density and supercritical applications. This work may provide a new way of developing EOS theory and enrich the fundamentals of thermodynamics.

A Partial Differential Equation Approach to Inhalation Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling.

Project description:The heterogeneous nature of the lungs and the range of processes affecting pulmonary drug disposition make prediction of inhaled drugs challenging. These predictions are critical, as the local exposure cannot be measured and current inhalation physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models do not capture all necessary features. Utilizing partial differential equations, we present an inhalation PBPK model to describe the heterogeneity in both lung physiology and particle size. The model mechanistically describes important processes, such as deposition, mucociliary clearance, and dissolution. In addition, simplifications are introduced to reduce computational cost without loss of accuracy. Three case studies exemplify how the model can enhance our understanding of pulmonary drug disposition. Specific findings include that most small airways can be targeted by inhalation, and overdosing may eradicate the advantage of inhalation. The presented model can guide the design of inhaled molecules, formulations, as well as clinical trials, providing opportunities to explore regional targeting.
