Abstract

In the talk, a model of two delay differential equations is first proposed to describe how a tissue copes with the aberrant behavior of mutant cells. Based on the proposed model, we performed qualitative analysis to identify the conditions of either normal tissue homeostasis or uncontrolled growth with varying numbers of abnormal mutant cells. Bifurcation analysis suggests the conditions of bistability with either a small or large number of mutant cells, the coexistence of bistable steady states can be clinically beneficial by driving the state of mutant cell predominance to the attraction basin of the state with a low number of mutant cells. Based on corresponding ODE model, we further considered the treatment strategy obtained from optimal control theory.

Liouville type theorem for harmonic maps of controlled growth
AbstractWe show a Liouville type result for harmonic maps from a manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature into positively curved target under the condition that the maps have some growth condition. Our result can be interpreted as an improved version of Choi's classical work. Moreover, Schoen-Uhlenbeck's example shows that our growth condition is almost sharp. The proof relies on Ecker-Huisken...

$h$-Principle for Maximal Growth Distributions
DescriptionThe existence and classification problem for maximal growth distributions on smooth manifolds has garnered much interest in the mathematical community in recent years. Prototypical examples of maximal growth distributions are contact structures on $3$-dimensional manifolds and Engel distributions on $4$-dimensional manifolds. The existence and classification of maximal growth distrib...
