    SiCaSMA : an alternative stochastic description via concatenation of Markov processes for a class of catalytic systems
    (2021) Wagner, Vincent; Radde, Nicole Erika
    The Chemical Master Equation is a standard approach to model biochemical reaction networks. It consists of a system of linear differential equations, in which each state corresponds to a possible configuration of the reaction system, and the solution describes a time-dependent probability distribution over all configurations. The Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (SSA) is a method to simulate sample paths from this stochastic process. Both approaches are only applicable for small systems, characterized by few reactions and small numbers of molecules. For larger systems, the CME is computationally intractable due to a large number of possible configurations, and the SSA suffers from large reaction propensities. In our study, we focus on catalytic reaction systems, in which substrates are converted by catalytic molecules. We present an alternative description of these systems, called SiCaSMA, in which the full system is subdivided into smaller subsystems with one catalyst molecule each. These single catalyst subsystems can be analyzed individually, and their solutions are concatenated to give the solution of the full system. We show the validity of our approach by applying it to two test-bed reaction systems, a reversible switch of a molecule and methyltransferase-mediated DNA methylation.

    The direct method of Lyapunov for nonlinear dynamical systems with fractional damping
    (2020) Hinze, Matthias; Schmidt, André; Leine, Remco I.
    In this paper, we introduce a generalization of Lyapunov’s direct method for dynamical systems with fractional damping. Hereto, we embed such systems within the fundamental theory of functional differential equations with infinite delay and use the associated stability concept and known theorems regarding Lyapunov functionals including a generalized invariance principle. The formulation of Lyapunov functionals in the case of fractional damping is derived from a mechanical interpretation of the fractional derivative in infinite state representation. The method is applied on a single degree-of-freedom oscillator first, and the developed Lyapunov functionals are subsequently generalized for the finite-dimensional case. This opens the way to a stability analysis of nonlinear (controlled) systems with fractional damping. An important result of the paper is the solution of a tracking control problem with fractional and nonlinear damping. For this problem, the classical concepts of convergence and incremental stability are generalized to systems with fractional-order derivatives of state variables. The application of the related method is illustrated on a fractionally damped two degree-of-freedom oscillator with regularized Coulomb friction and non-collocated control.

    Efficient parametric analysis of the chemical master equation through model order reduction
    (2012) Waldherr, Steffen; Haasdonk, Bernard
    BACKGROUND: Stochastic biochemical reaction networks are commonly modelled by the chemical master equation, and can be simulated as first order linear differential equations through a finite state projection. Due to the very high state space dimension of these equations, numerical simulations are computationally expensive. This is a particular problem for analysis tasks requiring repeated simulations for different parameter values. Such tasks are computationally expensive to the point of infeasibility with the chemical master equation.RESULTS:In this article, we apply parametric model order reduction techniques in order to construct accurate low-dimensional parametric models of the chemical master equation. These surrogate models can be used in various parametric analysis task such as identifiability analysis, parameter estimation, or sensitivity analysis. As biological examples, we consider two models for gene regulation networks, a bistable switch and a network displaying stochastic oscillations. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that the parametric model reduction yields efficient models of stochastic biochemical reaction networks, and that these models can be useful for systems biology applications involving parametric analysis problems such as parameter exploration, optimization, estimation or sensitivity analysis.

    Second-gradient continua : from Lagrangian to Eulerian and back
    (2022) dell’Isola, Francesco; Eugster, Simon R.; Fedele, Roberto; Seppecher, Pierre
    In this paper, we represent second-gradient internal work functionals in Lagrangian (referential) and Eulerian (spatial) descriptions, and we deduce the corresponding expressions for the Piola transformations of stress and double-stress tensors and of external forces and double-forces. We also derive, in both the Eulerian and Lagrangian description, the expression of surface and edge contact interactions (which include forces and double-forces) for second-gradient continua in terms of the normal and the curvature of contact boundary surfaces and edge shapes.

    Experimental analysis, discrete modeling and parameter optimization of SLS-printed bi-pantographic structures
    (2022) Harsch, Jonas; Ganzosch, Gregor; Barchiesi, Emilio; Ciallella, Alessandro; Eugster, Simon R.
    Making use of experimental data for bias extension, shearing, and point-load tests in large deformation regime for rectangular and square bi-pantographic specimens, we perform a numerical identification to fit the a priori parameters of a planar discrete spring model. The main objective of the work is to develop an automatized optimization process based on the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm for identifying the constitutive parameters of discrete modeling of bi-pantographic structures, as well as assessing its descriptiveness and predictive capacity. The analysis allows to conclude that there exists a single set of parameters for the adopted discrete modeling such that it is descriptive and predictive for several different tests and for a wide range of deformations.
