Mathematical models, when based on solid foundations of Biology, can quantitatively describe biological phenomena. In the case of branches of Biology that study disease transmission, the actors are different species of animals and parasites. Methods of mathematical modeling involving populations and flows among sub-populations (as, for example, the natural history of the disease) are appr…
The project aims the development and analysis of computational models to describe the damage propagation in materials which present elastoplastic behavior subject to large strains. Instead of considering sharp transitions models, which lead to theoretical difficult and high computational effort, is used a methodology based on diffuse transitions by using phase fields to describe the damag…
In this project we will analyze in a mathematically rigorous way a free boundary value problem consisting of a elliptic-hyperbolic system of partial differential equations related to the Hele-Shaw problem. The problem in the project models the growth of a tumor and takes in consideration the following possibilities for the state of a tumor cell: proliferating cells, quiescent cells or nec…
In this project we will analyze, in a mathematically rigorous way, a distributed optimal control problem modeling a situation in which one tries to cotrol a mosquito population in a certain region by using insecticide applied by a moving spreading unit.The intention is to characterize an optimal trajectory to be followed by this unit in order to minimize a certain functional that tries a…
