Abstract |
|
This is a review article, to show the consistency of delay differential equations with biological systems with memory,
in which we present a class of mathematical models with time-lags in immunology, physiology, epidemiology and cell growth. We
also incorporate optimal control parameters into a delay model to describe the interactions of the tumour cells and immune response
cells with external therapy. We then study parameter estimations and sensitivity analysis with delay differential equations. Sensitivity
analysis is an important tool for understanding a particular model, which is considered as an issue of stability with respect to structural
perturbations in the model. We introduce a variational method to evaluate sensitivity of the state variables to small perturbations in the
initial conditions and parameters appear in the model. The presented numerical simulations show the consistency of delay differential
equations with biological systems with memory. The displayed results may bridge the gap between the mathematics reserach and its
applications in biology and medicine. |
