In this paper, we compare three types of dynamical systems used to describe tumor growth. These systems are defined as solutions to three delay differential equations: the logistic, the Gompertz and the Greenspan types. We present analysis of these systems and compare with experimental data for Ehrlich Ascites tumor in mice.

In a previous paper, we developed a new way to apply the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) in the search for periodic orbits in dynamical systems modeled by ordinary differential equations. This method differs from the original in the heuristic search of the frequencies of the cycles. In this paper, we show that the method can be extended to the search for periodic orbits in delay differential equations. Herein, this methodology is applied twice, firstly in an equation of van der Pol type and secondly in an anharmonic oscillator, both systems with a delayed feedback.

In this paper, the concept of a new ?-generalized quasi metric space is introduced. A number of well-known quasi metric spaces are retrieved from ?-generalized quasi metric space. Some general fixed point theorems in a ?-generalized quasi metric spaces are proved, which generalize, modify and unify some existing fixed point theorems in the literature. We also give applications of our results to obtain fixed points for contraction mappings in the domain of words and to prove the existence of periodic solutions of delay differential equations.

In this work the application of delay differential equations to the modelling of mass transport in porous media, where the convective transport of mass, is presented and discussed. The differences and advantages when compared with the Dispersion Model are highlighted. Using simplified models of the local structure of a porous media, in particular a network model made up by combining two different types of network elements, channels and chambers, the mass transport under transient conditions is described and related to the local geometrical characteristics. The delay differential equations system that describe the flow, arise from the combination of the mass balance equations for both the network elements, and after taking into account their flow characteristics. The solution is obtained using a time marching method, and the results show that the model is capable of describing the qualitative behaviour observed experimentally, allowing the analysis of the influence of the local geometrical and flow field characteristics on the mass transport.
