The Onset of Mackey-Glass Leukemia at the Edge of Chaos

چکیده
In this paper we revisit the Mackey-Glass model for blood-forming process, which was proposed to describe the spontaneous fluctuations of the blood cell counts in normal individuals and the first stage of chronic myelocytic (or granylocytic) leukemia (CML). We obtain the bifurcation diagram as a function of the time delay parameter and show that the onset of leukemia is related to instabilities associated to the presence of periodic windows in the midst of a chaotic regime. We also introduce a very simple modification in the death rate parameter in order to simulate the accumulation of cells and the progressive increase of the minima counts experimentally observed in the final stage of the disease in CML patients. The bifurcation diagram as a function of the death rate parameter is also obtained and we discuss the effects of treatments like leukapheresis.

A Novel Fuzzy Based Method for Heart Rate Variability Prediction
Abstract In this paper, a novel technique based on fuzzy method is presented for chaotic nonlinear time series prediction. Fuzzy approach with the gradient learning algorithm and methods constitutes the main components of this method. This learning process in this method is similar to conventional gradient descent learning process, except that the input patterns and parameters are stored in mem...
متن کاملCarbon K edge structures of molecular crystals from first-principles: A comparison between phenanthrene and anthracene
By means of ab-initio calculations on the basis of the FPLAPW method, we compared the energy loss near edge structure (ELNES) of carbon K edges in crystalline phenanthrene and its isomer, anthracene. In these two organic compounds, different non-equivalent carbon atoms can result in distinct K edge spectra due to the different carbon-carbon bond lengths, as a characteristic behavior of the mole...
متن کاملChaos control in multistable delay-differential equations and their singular limit maps
The multistability exhibited by first-order delay-differential equations ~DDE’s! at large delay-to-response ratios R is useful for the design of dynamical memory devices. This paper first characterizes multistability in the Mackey-Glass DDE at large R . The extended control of its unstable periodic orbits ~UPO’s!, based on additional feedback terms evaluated at many times in the past, is then p...

متن کاملEstimation of dynamical invariants without embedding by recurrence plots.
In this paper we show that two dynamical invariants, the second order Renyi entropy and the correlation dimension, can be estimated from recurrence plots (RPs) with arbitrary embedding dimension and delay. This fact is interesting as these quantities are even invariant if no embedding is used. This is an important advantage of RPs compared to other techniques of nonlinear data analysis. These e...
