A nonlocal sample dependence SDE-PDE system modeling proton dynamics in a tumor
(2015)
- A nonlocal stochastic model for intra- and extracellular proton dynamics in a tumor is proposed. The intracellular dynamics is governed by an SDE coupled to a reaction-diffusion equation for the extracellular proton concentration on the macroscale. In a more general context the existence and uniqueness of solutions for local and nonlocal SDE-PDE systems are established allowing, in particular, to analyze the proton dynamics model both, in its local version and the case with nonlocal path dependence. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the behavior of solutions, providing some insights into the effects of randomness on tumor acidity.

Moment contractivity and stability exponents of nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems
(1999)
- Nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems as ordinary stochastic differential equations and stochastic difference methods are in the center of this presentation in view of the asymptotical behaviour of their moments. We study the exponential p-th mean growth behaviour of their solutions as integration time tends to infinity. For this purpose, the concepts of nonlinear contractivity and stability exponents for moments are introduced as generalizations of well-known moment Lyapunov exponents of linear systems. Under appropriate monotonicity assumptions we gain uniform estimates of these exponents from above and below. Eventually, these concepts are generalized to describe the exponential growth behaviour along certain Lyapunov-type functionals.
