1. Forward: Greetings from the Project Leader
The purpose of this program is to propose a new
academic field of "Mathematical Sciences Based on
Modeling and Analysis" and promote world-class
education and research, thereby
building an
international center of excellence. This year marks
the third year since the program was selected. As
one major purpose of the project is to train young
researchers,
we
have
held
the
entrance
examination for the Ph.D. Program of the Meiji
Institute for the Advanced Study of Mathematical
Sciences (MIMS) to educate doctoral students,
starting in FY2009. While we have filled our
student quota for the current fiscal year, one
Masayasu MIMURA
Project Leader of the Meiji University Global COE
problem we have in running this program is the fact
that MIMS is a research institution directly
affiliated with the Organization for the Strategic
Coordination of Research and Intellectual Property and not part of the graduate school system;
in other words, we are able to provide research guidance but do not have the right to grant
academic degrees. However, we will now have the Graduate School of Advanced Mathematical
Sciences with the Department of Mathematical Modeling, Analysis and Simulation (tentative
names) (enrollment limits: 30 for the Master's Program; 15 for the Doctoral Program),
scheduled to start in FY2011 to succeed the MIMS program. This will enable us to train young
researchers, in the graduate school system, to help them acquire advanced knowledge in a
wide range of mathematics fields, understand complex phenomena in society, nature, and
biology, and study Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis, which bridges
phenomena and mathematical science, so that they become able to engage in research
activities independently. As a graduate education system to support this, in addition, a new
science school will be established, scheduled to open in FY2013. At the core of this new school
will be a faculty dedicated to Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis; which
means, to my utter delight, that we are making steady steps towards the realization of specific
visions of this Global COE Program in developing researchers here at Meiji University.
In the meantime, our faculty system to support this has gradually improved. For this fiscal
year, we were newly joined by two lecturers and two visiting professors (one of whom is
non-Japanese), while we are expecting to hire one full-time professor for FY2011, which is
expected to help our education and research in Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and
Analysis make major progress for the future.
1
Another important task for us is to promote a deep understanding and dissemination of the
term "Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis" as the name of this new
academic field. For this purpose, we have been making efforts to let the public know of our
research activities through various media. The outline of this program and specific research
results have drawn much media attention, with features in magazines such as AERA, Newton,
and Kodomo no Kagaku; daily newspapers such as the Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Shimbun,
the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, and the Yomiuri Shimbun; and television programs such as
Bakusho Mondai no Nippon no Kyoyo, Hodo Station, and Sekaiichi Uketai Jugyo. In addition,
we are also creating DVDs to feature the research activities of young researchers, and issuing
the Meiji GCOE News Letter, full of interview articles written by science writers, for the same
purpose. It appears that we are having increasingly more opportunities to share a glimpse into
Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis with the public at large.
As we continue to be engaged in such activities, we had an interim evaluation interview in
July, where we received a fairly good evaluation for our activities to date at Meiji University.
Finally, I would like to extend my deep gratitude to all those who have offered their support
since the selection of the program. Your continued support has been, and will always be, most
appreciated. Thank you very much.
2. Activities in FY2010
1) Overview
Selected for the Global COE Program
FY2008 with the Meiji Institute for the
Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences
(MIMS) as the applicant institution, the
Formation
and
Development
of
Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling
and Analysis has been set up in Building 2,
Annex 3 at the Ikuta Campus as the
headquarters for activities. As a result of
our discussion on establishing a graduate course as an international base for education in
Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis after the selection of this project for the
COE Program, it was decided that the Graduate School of Advanced Mathematical Sciences,
Department of Mathematical Modeling, Analysis and Simulation, Master and Doctoral
Programs would be established in FY2011 (which have been open since April 2011). This holds a
tremendous significance regarding our activities in the coming years. In preparation for the
establishment of this new graduate school in the coming year, we are putting particular efforts
into the development and education of young researchers in FY2010. With six students newly
joining the MIMS Ph.D. Program, which is a curriculum for learning Mathematical Sciences
2
Based on Modeling and Analysis (enrollment limit: 5/year), the Doctoral Program now contains a
total of 12 students in FY2010. One of them earned a doctorate in one year shorter than the
standard course term, by achieving excellent research performance, which suggests that we are
generating notable results. Admission of MIMS Ph.D. students for FY2011, meanwhile, will be
carried out by the Doctoral Program of the Department of Mathematical Modeling, Analysis and
Simulation, in the Graduate School of Advanced Mathematical Sciences; five prospective
students are set to enroll. As a part of education programs to develop these doctoral students,
four Project Based Analysis and Research Clusters have opened as Inter-Departmental
Curricula coordinated by the MIMS, teaching students the latest research results in
Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis.
To
increase
the
recruitment
of
young
researchers such as postdoctoral fellows, in the
meantime, one SPD and seven PDs were hired
for Global COE Mathematical Modeling and
Analysis research. By providing support in the
form of research activity funds totaling 4.5
million yen, which includes 1 million yen for the
SPD and 500,000 yen for each PD, we aim to
promote
the
Global
COE
Mathematical
Modeling and Analysis postdoctoral research activities.
To promote spontaneous research activities by young researchers and improve their abilities
to run the required research organizations, the Mathematical Modeling and Analysis
Symposium for Young Researchers has been held since the first year of this Global COE project.
The symposium, which is planned and organized by postdoctoral fellows, has been held for a
total of nine times to date, of which six took place during FY2010. In addition, the
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis Mini-symposium for Young Researchers started during
this fiscal year; planned and organized by MIMS Ph.D. students themselves, the
Mini-symposium has so far taken place three times, which is another example of our active
support to the efforts aimed to nurture the
autonomy of young researchers.
In addition, the Mathematical Modeling and
Analysis
Project
for
Young
Researchers
(Research Project), which has been in place
from before to help young researchers such as
Meiji
University
doctoral
students
and
postdoctoral fellows conduct joint research
projects with other researchers (3 selected
3
projects/year), was continued, while the Mathematical Modeling and Analysis Project for
Young Researchers (International Joint Research) (3 selected projects/year) was newly
launched this fiscal year, as a part of our focus on further promoting research exchanges with
overseas researchers and gaining in-depth knowledge, thereby contributing to improved
research results.
The focus of public relations
activities for the academic field
of Mathematical Modeling and
Analysis is placed on featuring
the education and research
activities on the website. In
addition, public relations activities have been conducted through a wide variety of media, from
sharing the research results on YouTube and iTunes U to issuing the Meiji GCOE News Letter
that runs interview articles written by science writers, publishing technical reports on the
results of research at the COE center, developing DVDs that feature research by the Program
Members for this program, and publishing contents that offer easy-to-understand explanations
on Mathematical Modeling and Analysis through the website and information kiosk terminals.
Towards the global development of Mathematical Modeling and Analysis, we have research
exchange with such Japanese universities as Hiroshima University, Ryukoku University, and
Shizuoka University, among others, with which we have university-wide agreements on
inter-university exchanges. On the education front, we are moving forward with the mutual
exchange of students based on credit transfer agreements. As for international exchange,
MIMS serves as the Japanese counterpart in a Japan-France cooperative research project with
France's Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (National Center for Scientific
Research; CNRS), while also being engaged in joint research under the agreement with the
Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "Mauro Picone" (IAC) of Italy. In addition, we have
signed a memoranda with the Centre d'Analyse et de Mathématique Sociales (CAMS) of the
Ecole des Hautes Études en Science Sociales (School for Advanced Studies in the Social
Sciences; EHESS) in France, the Institute of Mathematical Modeling and Scientific Computing
(IMMSC) of National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) in Taiwan, and the Instituto de
Matemática
Mathematical
Interdisciplinar
Institute;
IMI)
(Interdisciplinary
of
Universidad
Complutense de Madrid (Complutense University
of Madrid; UCM) in Spain, respectively, in our
effort to build international research networks in
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis and develop a
world-class center of excellence in Mathematical
4
Modeling and Analysis research.
Changes in Program Members for the promotion of this program included the addition of
Professor Hideki Takayasu (Modeling Group) to the list of Program Members in April 2010.
This was an action taken to ensure further reinforcement of this Center of Excellence by
advancing modeling of economical phenomena from an econophysics standpoint. Meanwhile,
Dr. Tatsuo Shibata, Associate Professor at one of our partner institutes, Hiroshima University,
resigned on September 30, 2010; considering that the MMA of Bio-network Systems, which Dr.
Shibata is specialized in, constitutes one of the key areas of study in this program, office
procedures were promptly taken to hire him as Visiting Associate Professor, starting in April
2011, so that there would be no interference with the development of the center of excellence.
In addition, we have also been joined by Dr. Nobuhiko J. Suematsu as a Lecturer, and Dr.
Jong-Shenq Guo as a Visiting Professor at Meiji University Organization for the Strategic
Coordination of Research and Intellectual Property, to further enhance the organization of the
center of excellence. Dr. Suematsu was a Global COE postdoctoral fellow at Hiroshima
University and is knowledgeable about both experiments and mathematics, which are key
elements in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis, while Dr. Guo is a leading researcher in the
mathematical theory of nonlinear partial differential equations.
Meiji
University
conducts
self-study
and
evaluation university-wide in accordance with the
school codes, etc., and the Global COE Program
Promotion
Committee
is
responsible
for
the
procedure for these activities under this program.
Although the plan to hold a GCOE Evaluation
Committee meeting and an External Evaluation
Committee meeting had to be postponed until the
following fiscal year due to the Great East Japan
Earthquake and its aftermath, efforts have been made
to establish the inspection/evaluation system, by such
means
as
the
establishment
of
the
Internal
Regulations for the GCOE Evaluation Committee.
Major uses of the grant for this project include
expenses for the development of young researchers (e.g., recruitment of Global COE
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis postdoctoral fellows, research activities, Mathematical
Modeling and Analysis Project for Young Researchers) the costs of inviting leading researchers
in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis in Japan and from abroad for various research
meetings organized for the purpose of sharing the latest research development with graduate
students and young researchers, and public relations budgets (preparation of Meiji GCOE
5
News Letter, creation of DVDs that feature research by GCOE Program Members, installation
of the information kiosk terminal on the first floor of the Central School Building at Ikuta
Campus, and creation of display models for research results presentation), and so on. Various
electronic equipment (cluster simulation system, personal computers) required for the process
in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis research is also put in effective use.
As one of our partner institutes, the Department of Mathematical and Life Sciences,
Graduate School of Science, Hiroshima University carries out education and research in
Formation and Development of Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis, with
a focus on the understanding and description of life phenomena which is their mission as a
secondary center of excellence. By recruiting two postdoctoral fellows in Mathematical
Modeling and Analysis specialized in non-equilibrium nonlinear science, Hiroshima University
conducts research for the purpose of not only the promotion of this Global COE Program, but to
make it a key in the fusion of mathematical and life sciences for the Department of
Mathematical and Life Sciences as a whole.
2) Results of Activities
a. Development of Center of Excellence
The purpose of forming this Center of Excellence is to conduct research in Mathematical
Modeling and Analysis with a focus on development of models while fostering and producing
young researchers with potential to become successful in various fields of society. To this end,
we have established a management system to swiftly carry out the processes from developing
plans to taking action by the combined efforts of faculty members, the university, and the
institution, and are putting the following plan for the formation of the Center of Excellence
into practice:
(1）Establishment of Graduate School of Advanced Mathematical Sciences Department of
Mathematical Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation
Since
selection
for
the
Ministry
of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology's
Global
COE
Program
in
FY2008, MIMS has been playing the role of
research institution even more actively than
before. The Department of Mathematical
Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of the
Graduate School of Advanced Mathematical
Sciences, scheduled to open in FY2011, will
be positioned as an educational institution to train young researchers for this program, and
the department and MIMS will promote Mathematical Modeling and Analysis on both the
research and education fronts under mutual collaboration.
6
(2) Financial Aid to Develop Young Researchers
In graduate education, financial aid for the
development of young researchers has been
provided in the form of Waiver of Tuition Fees
(scholarship program) and the MIMS Ph.D.
Program (enrollment limit: 5/year), in which
researchers can benefit from employment as a
Global COE Program Doctoral Research Fellow,
starting in FY2009. In FY2010, six doctoral
students were admitted, making the total enrollment twelve, including four foreign students.
In February, an enrollment examination was given for the Graduate School of Advanced
Mathematical Sciences Department of Mathematical Modeling, Analysis and Simulation
Doctor's Program, and five successful applicants (including two foreign students) have been
offered a position in the program.
(3) Increase of Faculty Staff and Research Fellowship
To increase human resources in faculty staff, researchers, and research fellows, two
specially appointed teaching staff members have been hired as Research Fellows. Two
visiting teachers have also been hired, of whom one professor has joined the Program
Members for this program. These recruitments have led to the enhancement of the Center of
Excellence, as a measure to strengthen the applicable areas of study that are important to
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis through the development in modeling in financial
phenomena from an econophysics point of view. For the employment of young researchers,
meanwhile, a total of eight FY 2010 Global COE Program postdoctoral fellows were hired,
four of them by using part of the program funding, and the other four at school expense.
Hiroshima University, one of our partner institutes for this program, has also been
constantly hiring two postdoctoral fellows since FY2008.
(4) Formation of Mathematical Modeling and Analysis Networks
To form a network for education and research in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis, we
have signed university-wide agreements and memoranda on student exchange with
Hiroshima University, Ryukoku University, and Shizuoka University within the last two
fiscal years, and built a system for research guidance and credit transfer. In the current
fiscal year, we exchanged students with Hiroshima University, as an attempt for actual
transfer credits for students of the two schools.
b. Development of Young Researchers at Center of Excellence
(1) Guidance System and Educational Programs
Meiji University has been offering the MIMS Ph.D. Program as a doctoral education
7
program,
taking
reference
programs
employed
abroad,
to
researcher
starting
in
training
FY2009.
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis research requires
one to have skills in three areas, namely modeling,
mathematical analysis, and simulation, while at the
same time having an understanding of the phenomenon
to be elucidated. As a guidance system to ensure this, we
have a multiple guidance structure supported by Team Fellows, considering that it is
difficult to train researchers in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis to have knowledge in
various fields and a multifaceted perspective based on research guidance with a single
supervisor. Team Fellows consist of three supervisors who are specialized in modeling,
simulation, and mathematical analysis, respectively, from among MIMS fellows and
research fellows, and work in liaison and complementing each other to provide research
guidance. Team Fellows have been selected for each of the twelve students enrolled for
FY2010, and are engaged in education activities. The guidance structure will be more
flexible, to allow a review of Team Fellow members in response to changes in student
research, for instance. Furthermore, “Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences I / II” and
“Advanced Mathematical Sciences I / II” have been developed and offered as
Inter-Departmental Courses for Meiji University doctoral students in all majors. These
courses offer lectures on selected topics from the latest research results, and serve to provide
valuable opportunities for young researchers to have a glimpse of the latest research
developments through lectures given directly by the world's leading figures in their
respective fields. Meanwhile, the Advanced Mathematical Sciences I / II classes are given
exclusively in English, which helps accommodate foreign students while promoting the
internationalization of Japanese students. These courses also serve as an international
school in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis; they are open to not only full-time students
of Meiji University but on occasion to graduate students from around Japan, as well,
making a significant contribution to the expansion of the young researcher population
interested in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis across the country.
(2) System to Allow Young Researchers to Fulfill Their Potential
While postdoctoral fellows and MIMS Ph.D. students are given a sufficient amount of
time and space for their research at this Center of Excellence, our system encourages them
to take an active part in the operation of the research organization, rather than engaging
themselves solely in their research work as they would in a traditional system. Specifically,
it is designed to have young researchers organize and run spontaneous meetings
(Mathematical Modeling and Analysis Symposium for Young Researchers: took place six
8
times in FY2010; Mathematical Modeling and Analysis
Mini-symposium for Young Researchers: nine times)
and regular seminars (MAS Seminar: took place 15
times in FY2010; MEE Seminar: nine times), during
the course of which research networks can form by
themselves.
In
addition,
the
Mathematical
Modeling
and
Analysis Project for Young Researchers (Research Project / International Joint Research)
has also been developed and operated, with doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows as
primary applicants. The Research Project aims to support young researchers to become
independent as researchers, by providing them with opportunities to plan and promote
challenging project-based research that goes in line with the purpose of Mathematical
Modeling and Analysis. The International Joint Research, meanwhile, is intended to
support them to further promote research exchange with overseas researchers and gain
in-depth knowledge, thereby contributing to improved research results; it has been open to
public applications since FY2010.

(3) Development of Internationally Competitive Research Talent
For the purpose of contributing to the development of internationally competitive talent
in Mathematical Modeling and Analysis research, we have formed a partnership with six
overseas research institutes so far (the French National Center for Scientific Research, the
Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo of Italy; the Institute of Mathematics, Vietnamese
Academy of Science and Technology in Hanoi, Vietnam; the Centre d'Analyse et de
Mathématique Sociales of the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences of France,
the Institute of Mathematical Modeling and Scientific Computing of National Chiao Tung
University in Taiwan, and the Interdisciplinary Mathematical Institute, Complutense
9
University of Madrid, in Spain), and put our efforts into the development of young
researchers through international research exchange.
To facilitate the acceptance of good students from abroad and promote the
internationalization of Japanese students, the graduate school offers "Advanced
Mathematical Sciences I / II" as courses taught in English. Under the MIMS Ph.D. Program,
students may do their coursework entirely in English to earn their degrees, by taking
advantage of "Advanced Mathematical Sciences I / II" and other classes, as well as research
guidance and thesis advisory, offered in English. This has lead to the selection of Meiji
University as one of the universities to take part in the FY2009 Project for Establishing
Core Universities for Internationalization (Global 30) by the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology. While "Advanced Mathematical Sciences I / II" are formal
courses offered at the graduate school, they also serve as an international school in
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis, as attendance by young researchers from within the
school and externally is accepted, for the purpose of disseminating education in
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis outside the school.
The Inter-Departmental Courses offer Multilingual Graduate Research Programs such as
"Fundamentals
of
English
Communication
Skills
for
Academic
Settings"
and
"Fundamentals of Research Methodology in English Paper Writing." Of the twelve doctoral
students enrolled (to MIMS Ph.D. program) in the current fiscal year, four are students from
abroad (China, Taiwan, and Malaysia), who are learning Japanese and take these classes
according to their level of fluency in Japanese. One of them, incidentally, has achieved
excellent research results, and this year earned a doctorate degree (Science) in a period one
year shorter than the standard course term, and took a position as a research fellow at
Southwest Petroleum University (China). Another has also found a job in his home country
(China), as the MIMS steadily builds up notable education results and careers for the
students.
It is also worth noting that regular seminars organized by
postdoctoral fellows and doctoral students at this Center of Excellence
(MAS Seminar and MEE Seminar) use English as the standard
language, and presentations and discussions are always conducted in
English. In addition, a new initiative has been in place starting in
FY2010, as the Mathematical Modeling and Analysis Project for Young
Researchers now has a new category, International Joint Research,
where young researchers visit overseas research institutions to work
on a joint research project. This has further improved the system to support the formation of
young researchers' international research networks.
10
(4) Project Based Analysis and Research Cluster and School of Mathematical Mode
ling and Analysis
Four MIMS courses, Project Based Analysis and Research Cluster subjects, have newly
been opened as Inter-Departmental Curricula. These classes are open to students of other
graduate schools, and offered as an intensive course to encourage more students to attend.
Travel expense assistance is provided in the school budget to those attending from other
graduate schools, making it serve as a school of Mathematical Modeling and Analysis.

Research Outline
1. Research on time series analysis
The purpose of this research is to extract the underlying dynamics and nonlinear structures from the
time series data of complex phenomena: geophysical phenomena such as auroras, solar winds,
geomagnetism, earthquakes, and El Nino; economic phenomena such as stocks, foreign exchange
rates, money supply, and gross domestic product; biological phenomena such as electroencephalogram,
pulse waves, blood pressure, and electrocardiograms; and engineering phenomena such as electric
power. We focus on the underlying nonlinear structures of these phenomena, particularly their
qualitative characteristics such as stationarity, abnormality, determinacy, causality, dynamics, and
separation property. Time series analysis techniques based on the theory of KM2O-Langevin equations
for discrete-time stochastic processes are used for analyzing phenomenal data for modeling with the
philosophy of “data to model”.
2. Research on Stochastic Analysis Related to Gaussian Stationary Processes
Selected examples of fundamental research on stochastic analyses of the Markov process include
studies on the diffusion process and the corresponding diffusion equations (N. Kolmogorov) and
studies on the diffusion process and the corresponding stochastic differential equations (Ito K.); there
are other studies that combine stochastic differential equations and diffusion equations using Ito’s
formula. The aim of this research is to develop a theory of KM2O-Langevin equations for
one-dimensional continuous-time Gaussian stationary processes, which have been discussed from the
basis of the studies by N. Kolmogorov and Ito K. We also hope to derive a stochastic differential
equation (KM2O-Langevin equation with continuous time) that governs the local time evolution of
multi-dimensional continuous-time Gaussian stationary processes. Ito’s formula is applied to the
equation for deriving second-order elliptic partial differential equations with time lags related to the
Gaussian stationary processes; thus, the foundations for the stochastic analysis of Gaussian stationary
processes and a study of their applications are established.
3. Research on Riemann’s Zeta Function Based on Theory of Stationary Process
The aim of this research is to investigate Riemann zeta function, which conforms to Riemann
hypothesis and remains an unsolved analytic number theory problem, through a new approach of
using characteristics of stationary process. In particular, we focus on continuous stationary processes
with T-positivity, which can be analyzed by continuous-time KM2O-Langevin equations. That is
analyzed by the theory of continuous-time KM2O-Langevin equations, which is the source of the
theory of discrete-time KM2O-Langevin equations, to challenge and establish new theories on
Riemann hypothesis.

Research Description
: Modeling and Analysis on uncertainty systems
Research Outline
The relation between computer and safety has essentially two aspects: safety for computers, which
protects the computer from internal and external hazard sources to ensure that the machine is able to
continue working normally, and safety by computers, which aims to build functions to maintain the
safety of other systems using computers. The former is an area of study called computer safety, while
a typical example of the latter is a new area of safety, called functional safety.
In this research, we studied the ideal functional safety (latter) as a model for establishing safety
using computers. Computers served as safety devices to monitor and control the safety of other
systems and stop them for safety purposes if necessary. To identify the process to protect safety using
computers, research focused on concepts and methods of computer and functional safety, and clarified
the differences and relationships between the two.
Although IT and software engineers may not have needed to consider safety, the findings of the
study revealed an imperative need for those working with embedded software used for systems related
to human life to fully understand safe designs when configuring systems. This is because true safety
cannot be established without knowing the characteristics of the hardware that needs to be controlled
and the details and level required by humans. Among those working with computers, engineers
developing embedded software are the closest to both mechanical systems and human beings.

This study focuses on various problems related to financial mathematics from the realistic standpoint
of studying and modeling financial phenomena. It also includes the modeling of socioeconomic
phenomena.
The interest rate analysis study team was formed at the Meiji Institute for Advanced Study of
Mathematical Sciences (MIMS). The team is responsible for analyzing changes in the term structure of
interest rates before and after a financial crisis based on the government bond pricing model, which was
developed by Kariya and Tsuda (95) (the following figure shows changes in interest rates on the basis
of government bond prices). We are also interested in modeling phenomena in which financial asset
values are closely correlated

demonstration of corporate bond pricing models that take into account the fact that the business of one
company may be related to several industries. It is hoped that the term structure of the probability of
default derived from the results will enable the pricing of various credit risk products. Another aim of
the research is to determine the fluctuation structure of credit risks in financial crisis.
A separate study will be conducted with doctoral students to investigate the problems of games on
the superiority of the authority between managers and those working under them and games on
information screening, as well as business risk management, such as the relation between business and

Research Description
Research Outline
During this fiscal year, as our studies on the intelligent optimization of smart grids, the intelligent
multi-objective optimization was applied to power transmission and distribution networks. In the area
of power transmission networks, we researched economic load dispatching (ELD) for the
multi-objective optimization of thermal power plants. ELD is a constrained optimization problem in
power systems, which determines the electrical power to be generated by the generating units, so as to
minimize the total fuel costs of thermal power generators while satisfying the total output of the power
generators required by the power transmission networks. The CO2 emissions as well as the total fuel
cost were minimized.
Such solutions are called the Pareto solution set, which have been difficult to directly obtain with the
existing procedures. Thus, as a method of evaluating the solution set, particle swarm optimization (PSO) of
meta-heuristics was examined. Meta-heuristics is a class of optimization methods for obtaining highly
accurate approximate solutions to global optimal solutions by repeating simple rules and heuristics. PSO is a
heuristic method with multipoint search rules like the behavior of swarms of birds, fish, or honeybees in
searching for food. PSO was expanded to evolutionary PSO, which adaptively adjusts the PSO parameters,
for multi-objective optimization, and a method that incorporates improving the strength pareto evolutionary
algorithm (SPEA2) strategies was developed, producing excellent results. Secondly, we also explored the
formulation of optimized allocation problem of the step voltage regulator (SVR), as a multi-objective
optimization problem in the distribution network. With the liberalization of power in recent years,
consumers can now select the power company of their choice, for example, according to economic
viability, reliability, and quality. On the other hand, suppliers face growing demand for sophisticated
and stable supply due to increasing complexity and diversity of distribution networks. In addition,
stochastic reverse power flows caused by dispersed power sources of renewable energy lead to the
uncertainty of load, which is feared to cause interference to the specified voltage maintained in the
power system. In this study, minimization of the deviation of node voltage and of the installation costs
of SVRs as the objective functions were examined. Additionally, a scenario for load through Monte
Carlo Simulation was created, which takes into account the correlation of the nodes in the distribution
network, and the flexible optimum layout of the SVRs was determined. To solve multi-objective
optimization problems, we focused on SPEA2, which is one of multi-objective heuristics. As a result of
these efforts, we were able to come up with several power system planning solutions, provide the operators
with choices of planning solutions, which incorporate tradeoffs, and propose effective SVR locations for
network planners by Monte Carlo Simulation.

: Mathematical study of structure formation, locomotion and
information processing of living organisms
Research Outline
We are currently involved in research for the Core Research for Evolutional Science & Technology
(CREST) project, the goal of which is to build robots which can move lithely and robustly like living
organisms in complex, uncertain, and realistic environments based on the observations of living organisms.
The research team is comprised of biologists, mathematicians, and engineers. To achieve our goal, robots
need to be rendered with the large degree of freedom, and controlled in a sophisticated manner. One key to
achieving this goal is the self-organization of locomotion based on autonomous distributed control. However,
in the current situation, autonomous distributed control lacks design principles for linking autonomous
agents with the whole body. Therefore, the extraction of these design principles from unicellular organisms
such as true slime mold and amoeba was attempted. This is because unicellular organisms lack nervous
system and their locomotion is the direct manifestation of autonomous distributed control. The approach in
this project is clear. Focus is given to the locomotion of even more complicated multicellular organizations
as the future direction of the project, based on the findings for the unicellular organisms as the starting point.
Applying the concept of discrepancy function extracted from models on the locomotion of true slime
molds, an amoeboid robot moving completely by autonomous distributed control was designed. Simulation
results showed that adaptive locomotion is spontaneously generated through the phase shift by discrepancy
function and global interactions as a result of the conservation of protoplasmic mass.
Understanding and reproducing the locomotion of snakes are important goals in the project as their
movements are full of suggestions, considering the way they are able to make full use of the large degrees of
freedom of the body, and the balance between control from the brain and autonomous distributed control.
Simulations using coupled oscillators as the controller were carried out, based on autonomous distributed
control combining phasic and tonic control, and the effectiveness of the framework was confirmed. To verify
the validity of the framework, a snake-shaped robot was built; through experiments, smooth serpentine
motions were reproduced successfully, showing that snakes have outstanding adaptability as well as fault
tolerance by contingently associating the phase relation of the movements of each somite and the degree of
muscle tone.
The cleavage model proposed during the last year is based on the hypothesis that the locomotion of the
central body is controlled by two diffusible morphogens produced by the vegetal and animal poles. With
cooperation from specialists of mass spectrometry, we have started searching for morphogens in actual sea
urchin eggs. At the same time, modeling using a phase field model designed for multicellular systems was
carried out to mathematically describe realistic cleavage processes up to the shape change stage.

Research Description
Research Outline
Our research on humanity in visual information systems focuses on the following two topics:
(1) Proposal of image processing method taking into account human subjective assessment
(2) Assessment of human mental state by electroencephalogram analysis during text reading
For (1), studies on a system for removing impulsive noise in color images and that for beautifying
human face images by making the face look sharp were launched in FY2009. During the current fiscal
year, we improved these features. Both systems apply interactive evolutionary computation to carry out
optimum image processing based on the subjective criteria of users. In order to remove impulsive noise
from color images, we proposed a method applying interactive evolutionary computation to optimize a
switching median filter that comprehensively examines the respective amounts of several local
characteristics around each pixel in FY2009. In cases where the noise occurrence rate is low, the
interpolation method is known to be more effective than the median filtering method. We hence
proposed a method of estimating the probability of noise generation around each pixel and switching
between the median filter and interpolation to minimize both image blurring and noise effectively, and
have already demonstrated its effectiveness. The new system for removing impulsive noise from color
images also applies interactive evolutionary computation to ensure effective and optimum noise
removal settings while taking human subjective assessment into account.
Activities for human face image beautification included subjective assessment experiments and
studies on how to reduce computational complexity of the system developed last year in order to
implement it as i-appli program. In the experiments, different facial images of a female subject in her
20s and another in her 50s were prepared: images of their faces made up by themselves, those of their
faces made up by professional makeup artists, and those processed by the proposed beautification
system. Twenty subjects subjectively assessed the images. The results found that the facial images
processed by the system were rated higher than the face made up by professional makeup artists. As to
the reduction of computational complexity, the two-dimensional ε filter in the beautification system was
created by combining horizontal and vertical one-dimensional ε filters to increase the speed of the
filtering process.
For (2), we conducted objective assessments of the mental stress during reading text on paper media
and electronic displays, using brain waves. Specifically, we extracted brain waves of subjects reading
text with different size letters on paper medium and electronic displays, and calculated the feature value
of alpha and beta waves. The results showed that considerable beta waves occurs more when reading
small letters; in particular, the ratio of the amount of beta wave to that of alpha wave increases when
reading small letters, with a significant difference from reading large letters. Other studies have
suggested that the ratio indicates the degree of mental stress in humans. We found that this stress does
not differ much according to the size of letters in the case of paper medium, but increases significantly
when reading small letters on electronic displays.

Research Outline
In nature, there are various types of groups: fish, birds, and insects are well-known examples. In human
society, there are movements of various groups, or collective motion. The degree of flow or congestion of
groups of automobiles or pedestrians has a substantial impact on the productivity of society in general.
Isolated sand dunes, otherwise known as barchans, cause huge damage to roads, pipelines, and other
man-made structures by collective motion. In this way, the collective motion has a complexity and diversity
unimaginable from the movement of individual elements. Most conventional theoretical studies on collective
motion have expressed the movement of elements using relatively simple rules and comparing complex
movements seen in a group in general. However, in reality, the complex internal freedom of elements has a
crucial impact on the movement of the whole group. In FY2010, we thus focused on the relation between the
movement and functions of a whole group and the internal freedom of elements, and conducted the
following four studies:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Analysis of the mechanism deciding the priority order of using individual chemical or visual
information in the group foraging behavior of ants
Construction of new mathematical models for understanding the formation and movements of
barchans and transverse dunes in a consistent manner
Mathematical analysis of the non-uniformity of fluctuations given to elements and resonance
efficiency of the whole group in groups of elements causing stochastic resonance
Analysis of traffic flow and jams of camphor boats in annular conduits through experiments and
mathematical models
For 1, quantitative analysis through experiments, image analysis of experiment data, and mathematical
models have demonstrated that ants (garden ants) carry out foraging activities using not only chemical
information based on pheromones, but also visual information. We also investigated how ants use the two
types of information according to the situation. For 2, we succeeded in explaining the mechanism by which
dunes of different shapes are sequentially formed according to changes in environmental parameters as a
dynamical bifurcation phenomenon. For 3, we demonstrated that stochastic resonance phenomena with a
high degree of resonance is reproduced by adding white noise with differing amplitude according to the
element, as responses to the external stimulation of multiple FHN elements simulating the dynamics of
neural ignition. For 4, in collaboration with Nobuhiko Suematsu, a postdoctoral fellow of the Global COE
(Center of Excellence) Program (as well as specially appointed lecturer of Meiji University and research
collaborator of Meiji University GCOE), we have succeeded in reproducing traffic jams similar to those of
automobiles on highways by arranging camphor boats in water channels that self-drive using the difference
in the surface tension in front and at the back of the boats, and describing the basic mechanism of the traffic
jam phenomenon using mathematical models. Further experiments also discovered a new type of collective
motion mode (cluster state) not seen in automobile traffic jams, the mechanism of which was theoretically
analyzed. These results have been widely introduced not only in the journals of the Physical Society of Japan
and the American Institute of Physics, but also in the Nikkei newspaper and The Science News.

Research Description
Research Outline
As our information-oriented society becomes even more highly networked in the 21st century,
researchers are now able to obtain detailed records of massive human economic activities which could
not be documented accurately in the past. Econophysics is the study of mathematically modeling the
characteristics of the collective human activity based on such detailed data. It started in the latter half of
the 1990s as a result of spreading the scope of research by theoretical physicists, including myself, to
an economic phenomenon. Both areas of research and the population of researchers in this field have
since been constantly growing as more data becomes available.
The most significant progress in econophysics is found in the field of financial markets such as
foreign and stock exchange markets. On financial markets, face to face trading practice has been shifted
to buying and selling via computer networks thanks to the advent of computerization. Computer
algorithmic trading, which is completed in a minimal time of 1/1000 seconds, is increasing shares in
most markets. It also allows investors to monitor not only prices at which deals were done but also the
distribution of buy and sell orders called the order-book. Methods to analyze such data have been
developed, and mathematical models have been constructed from different approaches. As a result, we
now have a better idea of which data to process, which models to use for estimating parameters, and
what forecasts to make based on this. Econophysics research is also progressing in other areas such as
research on allowing the monitoring of business networks, the statistical property of fluctuations in
sales, and POS data, which allows for the identification of consumer purchase activities by article.
Once we are able to mathematically describe phenomena, we will next shift our focus to applied
research such as forecasts and control. Already at the forefront of econophysics research, various
applied research efforts are being attempted on a trial and error basis. For instance, topics for financial
market studies include: predicting changes to increase profits, a target that is easily understandable to
all; methods to control excessive fluctuations of the financial market; and methods to encourage the
supply of money gathering in the financial market to the actual economy. Once these new applications
are successful through advanced mathematical models based on data, it is no exaggeration to say that
mathematical science will indeed change society.
As applied research themes I have been working on a basket-type electronic money system taking
corporate financial data into account, and a novel financing system without the perspective of interest
rates. There are a countless number of other new themes to investigate, such as an estimation of money
flow by restoration programs for damages caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Research Outline
The progress of measurement technology has been gradually elucidating the dynamics of functional
processes, such as the structural formation and information processing in cells and tissues during
development and reproduction. Such dynamical phenomena are produced as a result of the combined
contribution of numerous elements such as molecules and genes. This has led to the growing need for
integrated studies based on system theories to understand the mechanism and design principles in the
complex phenomena of living things, which requires the progress of mathematical methodologies
linked to sophisticated measurement technologies. The aim of our studies is hence to challenge
emerging themes in life science using mathematical concepts and methodologies related to physics and
mathematical science.
Recently, there have been many reports that spatiotemporal pattern formations take place in a cell
with mechanisms similar to reaction-diffusion systems. These include temporal oscillations, spatial
patterns, and multistability, each of which is responsible for important functions in their respective
contexts. As cell-level reactions are highly probabilistic, these mechanisms for structural formation
must be robust against probabilistic noises. On the other hand, these mechanisms also have the
seemingly contradictory nature of giving diversity to the behavior of cells by amplifying the
probabilistic nature of individual reactions to the macroscopic level. We are currently conducting
research on how these phenomena are actually possible, through the analysis of the florescent image
data of a single cell, and by developing and analyzing mathematical models.
Development is the process of forming structures with spatial harmony by activating the program
within a cell accurately to generate various types of cells from a single cell. Mechanical processes such
as the viscoelastic body, whose basic unit is the cell, are involved in the formation of tissue structures,
and these in turn interact with the reaction-diffusion process of genes and signals. With the cooperation
of the groups in RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology and Hiroshima University, we are
attempting to understand the development process using mathematical and quantitative methods.

Research Outline
During the current fiscal year, I continued to investigate mathematical models to explain the phenomena
of biological evolution. Currently, I am involved in two major projects:
Theoretical research: Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) (Life modeling) Unified
understanding of two major theories of biological evolution
Applied research:
Scientific Research Fund (New research area exploration) Replacement of
Neanderthals by Homo sapiens
The aim of my theoretical project is to pursue the unified understanding of inclusive fitness theory (IFT)
and adaptive dynamics theory (ADT). In particular, the remarkable progress of IFT in recent years has raised
the slightly philosophical question, “What exactly is kin selection?”, which has become an actively debated
topic in journals such as Nature. Because it is highly likely that IFT is still misunderstood, my aim for the
current fiscal year was to identify the facts of IFT as well as its strong and weak points, and reconstruct IFT,
which has been described only instinctively in the past, as a mathematical theory[1].
For applied research, I am presently involved in a major project on the evolution of humankind. Focusing
on the replacement drama of Neanderthals by Homo sapiens 50,000 years ago, this large-scale
multidisciplinary project is participated by researchers from a wide range of academic fields, from physical
anthropologists studying fossil human bones, to archaeologists researching ruins, brain scientists studying
the learning capacities unique to Homo sapiens, paleoclimatologists calculating the environment in those
days, and cultural anthropologists studying modern day hunters and gatherers. The framework of the project
is based on the learning hypothesis that explains that Homo sapiens replaced Neanderthals with their
superior individual leaning abilities. The hypothesis, established by theoretical studies, is indirectly
supported in that stone tools suddenly changed (progressed) since the era of the Homo sapiens, but it still not
known why individual learning abilities only evolved in Homo sapiens. In collaboration with Professor
Kenichi Aoki and Dr. Wataru Nakahashi, I have been studying models on the evolution of learning abilities.
Based on experience gained through the work, I attempted to build models expressing the frequency
dynamics of genes and culture during the expansion of distribution, using reaction-diffusion equations.
Findings showed that individual learning abilities tend to evolve easily when distribution expands rapidly[2].
Considering that more than half of the history of Homo sapiens evolution spanned several tens of thousands
of years after early human migration out of Africa, my model supports the learning hypothesis that the early
human migration out of Africa helped evolve individual learning abilities.

Research Outline
It is said that geometry in ancient Greece started from the curiosity of mathematicians about the
shapes of crystals. Indeed their curiosity culminated in the classification of regular convex polyhedra
which is addressed in the final volume of Euclid’s Element. Since then, geometry had taken its own
path, and the study of crystals had not been the central theme in mathematics (an exception is the work
of Johannes Kepler on snowflake). It is only in the 19th century that mathematics began to play a role
in crystallography; that is, group theory became matured enough to be applied to the morphology of
crystals. Crystallographic groups introduced to describe macroscopic symmetry of crystals have been a
basic tool in classical crystallography even after Raue's discovery of crystal structures by the diffraction
of X-rays.
This study follows the Greek tradition in the sense that we seek beautiful shapes like regular convex
polyhedra. Our primary aim was to use algebraic topology to explore the rich world of crystal
structures. More specifically, we employ graph theory, homology theory and the theory of covering
maps to introduce the notion of topological crystal which retains, in an abstract way, all the information
on the connectivity of atoms in the crystal. This explains the reason why this study is entitled
‘’Topological Crystallography’’.
Topological crystals are “living in the logical world, not in space”. This leads us to the issue on how
to place (realize) them “canonically” in space. We proposed the notion of standard realizations of
topological crystals in space which are characterized by a certain minimal principle, and include, as
typical examples, the crystal structures of Diamond and Lonsdaleite. Standard realizations are the
most symmetric placements so that, if we take for granted the belief that beauty is bound up with
symmetry, then the standard realizations may deserve to be called most beautiful.
We also gave a mathematical view to the standard realizations by relating them to asymptotic
behaviors of random walks and harmonic maps. Furthermore, we observed that a discrete analogue of
algebraic geometry is linked to the standard realizations.
Applications of our discussion include not only a systematic enumeration of crystal structures, an
area of considerable scientific interest for many years, but also the architectural design of lightweight
rigid structure.

The following paragraphs are the two main achievements obtained for the research theme during the
current fiscal year:
1) Diversity of combustion patterns in smoldering combustion in microgravity environments
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been conducting combustion
experiments in microgravity (μg) environments in space. Of particular interest is their 1998 report
discussing an unpredictable complex combustion propagation when a filter paper is gradually burned
from one point ignition in a microgravity environment, which completely differs from the one under
normal gravity (1g). We address the question, “can combustion propagation in a microgravity
environment be predicted from the perspective of mathematical modeling and analysis?” and propose a
PDE Model by simplifying the smoldering combustion

From the various results obtained, we have found that
complex combustion propagation patterns appear as a
nonlinear, non-equilibrium state, due to the balance
between the supply and consumption (combustion) of
combustible substances, and that the diversity of the
patterns is due to the self-organizing mechanism seen in
the phenomena[3].
2) Complex patterns in chemotactic E. coli colonies

flower, and surprisingly the pattern was actually a
colony made by the growth and division of E. coli. The
question is, “is the formation based on the top-down
process of gene regulation, or the bottom-up process of
self-organization?” The possibility of the former was
experimentally rejected, but the explanation why the
latter was the reason was unclear. From our model and
simulation analyses, we suggested that it is due to the self-organization mechanism[4].

Research Description
Research Outline
Our studies on combinatorial optimization ranged from the theoretical foundation to applications.
For the theoretical approaches, we focused on the problem of determining the directed pathwidth of
directed graphs and obtained successful results. The directed pathwidth of a directed graph G is the
minimum k that is larger than the indegree of the set of vertices belonging to any prefix of any row of all
vertices of G.
No existing studies have reported on polynomial time algorithms to determine whether the given directed
pathwidth of a directed graph is below k, even if k is a constant. In this study, we developed such an
algorithm for the first time. In particular, assuming that the number of vertices of G is n and that the number
of edges is m, then the execution time of the algorithm would be expressed as
O(mnk + 1). The problem of
determining the directed pathwidth of directed graphs includes that of undirected graphs as a special case.
The developed algorithm also serves as an excellent algorithm for determining the pathwidth of undirected
graphs. The best theoretical algorithm for this problem was developed by Bodlaender. Although it is linear
with reference to n, it is exponentially related to k3. Our algorithm is therefore faster, depending on the
values of n and k. In addition, Bodlaender’s algorithm is said to be very complex and difficult to implement,
whereas ours is very simple and easy to implement. The study discussing the results was accepted for
presentation at the Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science (WG2011).
The problem of determining the directed pathwidth of directed graphs was raised for the issue of
identifying attractors in the Boolean network, which was presented in our research outline in last year’s
annual report. We demonstrated that for Boolean networks with a small directed pathwidth, using a directed
path partition enables high-speed identification of all attractors, as compared to simple methods. We carried
out even more precise experiments on this application and presented the results as a paper at the IISCIT2010
(International Symposium on Communication and Information Technologies).
The outline of our study in the last annual report discussed the relation between the bandwidth of a planar
graph and the size of the largest grid minor, namely, the theory that “if the bandwidth of a graph G is
expressed as bw(G) and the maximum value of g when G has a g × g grid as the minor gm(G), the equation
of bw(G) ≤ 3gm(G) + 1 is established for planar graphs.” We revised our paper detailing this theory by
correcting the errors and differences in detail and successfully eliminated the +1 term on the right-hand side
of the inequality. This was a joint study conducted with Professor Qian-Ping Gu at the Simon Fraser
University.
Separately, we considered the problem of deciding whether a given graph does have a k-cyclic orientation.
The results showed that this problem is NP-complete for every fixed k ≥ 3 for general graphs and for every
fixed k ≥ 4 for planar graphs; however, a polynomial time algorithm was established if k = 3. This was a
joint research carried out with Yasuaki Kobayashi, our graduate student.

: Mathematical science of diffusion and propagation phenomena
and pattern structures
Research Outline
Many phenomena in the natural world are often described using partial differential equations that
depend on both time and space. Of a range of partial differential equations available, reaction-diffusion
equations are applied to most natural phenomena including chemical reactions, physiological
phenomena, mathematical ecology, and mathematical biology. Reaction-diffusion equations take the
following form and are made up of only diffusion and reaction:
𝑢𝑗,𝑡 = 𝑑𝑗 ∆𝑢𝑗 + 𝑓𝑗 (𝑢1 , ⋯ , 𝑢𝑚 )
(𝑗 = 1, ⋯ , 𝑚)
In other words, they correspond to phenomena described by the particle moving according to random
walk and the reaction at the point.
Diffusion in the multiparticle system can sometimes bring about effects that differ from the diffusion
of a single particle system. One notable example is diffusion-induced instability discovered by Alan
Turing. It is a phenomenon in which periodic patterns are produced by the effect of special uniformity,
or diffusion. In collaboration with Associate Professor Noriko Mizoguchi and Professor Eiji Yanagida,
we expanded the theory and discovered diffusion-induced explosion. The expanded theory produced an
example of explosion* caused by applying diffusion effects even in stable systems where the solutions
converge at one point. It also demonstrated that on the contrary, explosions can be inhibited by
diffusion in some types of equations. This is called the inhibition of diffusion-induced explosion.
The scope of our research also includes diffusion-induced extinction in models on competition
among living things where an inferior species may defeat a stronger species, thereby causing the
stronger species to become extinct. We are currently investigating this area focusing on the role of
diffusion in reaction-diffusion systems.
The quality of diffusion changes as the type of particles increases. By demonstrating that the
combination of reaction and diffusion can produce nonlinear diffusion effects, which has not been
understood, our mathematical approach contributes to the present study of modeling.
The diffusion also seems to affect the formation of shapes and patterns, as illustrated by
diffusion-induced instability proposed by Alan Turing. In this area, we are studying the relation
between nonlinearity and pattern in the formation of V shapes, localization patterns, and finger-like
patterns.

Research Outline
Multi-scale phenomena in which microscale and macroscale elementary steps are inter-related appear
universally in various natural and social phenomena. However, it is difficult to understand such elementary
steps whose scale differs both spatially and temporally, as well as their interactions. Computer simulation
has enabled the numerical reproduction of such complex phenomena, and provided effective methodologies
for clarifying their internal mechanism.
The aim of our research and development of computer simulations using supercomputers is to understand
and predict various multi-scale phenomena occurring in our vast universe, which includes the
solar-terrestrial environment. The first theme is solar flares, the largest eruption phenomenon in the solar
system. Solar flares are thought to be the sudden release of free energy accumulated in the sunspot magnetic
field, and the conditions of occurrence are still not well understood. Based on precise data on magnetic fields
on the solar surface observed by the latest solar observation satellite Hinode, we succeeded, for the first time
in the world, to simulate and reproduce solar flare eruption. We were also able to demonstrate that flare
eruption may occur due to multiscale interactions between the magnetic helicity of the whole sunspot
magnetic field (magnetic field-line torsion) and the emergence of small magnetic field onto the solar surface.
These results suggest the possibility of being able to identify the premonitory phenomena of flares, which
would contribute significantly to research on space weather forecasts for predicting space environment
disturbances accompanying flares.
Our second theme is the development of precise cloud computer simulation methods. Clouds are produced
through interactions between the condensation of water vapor and the collisional growth of water droplets in
the atmosphere, and large-scale atmospheric motion. To date, precise simulation by combining interactions
of differing scales has not been possible. By applying the particle-in-cell (PIC) method developed for plasma
simulation to clouds, we have succeeded in developing a new algorithm for cloud simulation capable of
precisely adopting the chemical properties of aerosol, which is the cloud condensation nucleus. This method,
called the super-droplet method (SDM), will serve as a new methodology for precisely calculating the
indirect effects of aerosol with the largest uncertainty in the prediction of climate changes.

Research Outline
While investigating the mechanisms of visual recognition phenomena of humans in which we
identify three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional images, we created a mathematical model to
explain the mechanism of three-dimensional illusions. This model consists of three stages of
information processing. The first is the process of estimating the relation of connection between the
vertices, edges, and faces of the target object by extracting characteristics from images of the object.
This means that objects can be built by combining conventional image processing techniques such as
edge extraction and area extraction. The second is the process of determining the set of all objects
whose projections coincide with the image. Here, we were able to achieve our objective by combining
the set of linear constraints established from the algebraic structure of inverse transformation of
projection, and stable calculation methods robust against numerical errors such as positional deviations
in images. The third is information processing for selecting the most possible object from the set of
possible objects. Here, we were able to reduce the task as the optimization problem by incorporating
optophysical law, human knowledge, and preconceptions as quantitative constraints.
Using this mathematical model, we can predict what objects people will visualize from what images.
By creating objects that are the reverse of these predictions, we are able to create new illusionary
objects. With this method, we successfully created three-dimensional structures called impossible
objects, as well as design impossible motion illusions in which we perceive physically impossible
motions. One of the objects, that we created, called a “magnet-like slope,” won the FY2010 Best
Illusion of the Year Contest. In this background, our project plan for exploring the new research area of
computational illusion was selected as a CREST project by JST.

Research Outline
Patterns appear in reaction-diffusion systems are formed by self-organizing mechanisms. They are
extensively studied by researchers from various different fields because of their diversity and the
expectation that they would provide hints to understand biological formation. I have always thought the
exploration of the application is as important as mathematical understanding when it comes to the
pattern formations in the reaction-diffusion system. Therefore, this research’s aim is to apply animated
pattern dynamics, also known as self-replicating patterns, to mesh generation used in such as computer
simulation. In the self-replicating pattern process, with appropriate initial values, the area is filled with
spots with elapsed time, and these spots are aligned at almost equal intervals of each other.
Consequently, these patterns have the following two characteristics:
- the alignment of spots at equal intervals in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional areas
- appropriate spot alignment in a self-organized manner via the self-replicating process according to
the region shapes, and not the initial value.
These characteristics satisfy the conditions required by automatic mesh generation methods, and
help explore another application fields of the reaction-diffusion system by applying knowledge
obtained from fundamental studies.
For the current fiscal year, I carried out joint research
with Dr. Hirofumi Notsu, a GCOE postdoctoral fellow and Mr. Masahiro Yamaguchi, a doctoral
student in the MIMS Ph.D. program, as part of the Mathematical Modeling and Analysis Project for
Young Researchers of the Global COE Program.

(1) Dynamics of Two-Dimensional Spike Pattern in Shadow Systems
Assuming one of the two diffusion coefficients is sufficiently large in reaction-diffusion systems
with two unknown functions, shadow systems are derived. This study elucidated the dynamics of spiky
patterns in the shadow system for the Gierer-Meinhardt equations. We summarized the results in a
paper, which has been accepted by a journal.
(2) Stability Analysis of Pulse-Type Traveling Wave Solution of Two-Component Reaction-Diffusion
System
In excitable reaction-diffusion systems as represented by the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation, there are
pulse-type traveling wave solutions, which include two transition layers. In existing studies that have
succeeded in the stability analysis of traveling wave solutions, solutions include only one transition
layer, which makes linear stability analysis comparatively easy. Our study for the current fiscal year
succeeded in investigating the stability of pulse-type traveling wave solutions by limiting parameters,
and additional proof was established to support our previous work that the solutions are stable if there
are no diffusion terms. On the other hand, we also obtained results that solutions are unstable if
diffusion terms are included.
(3) Conditions for Multi-Species Coexistence in Lotka-Volterra Equations
In the convex domain of the two-component Lotka-Volterra competition equations with diffusion
terms, solutions must converge to uniform constant solutions as time goes to infinity. This signifies that,
two species cannot coexist in simple domains. On the other hand, it is known that different species can
coexist in dumbbell-shaped domains where two convex domains are joined by a narrow domain. The
phenomena can also be anticipated from the system of ordinary differential equations called the
compartment model proposed by Bruce Levin. In a joint study with Associate Professor Joe Yuichiro
Wakano (Meiji University), Assistant Professor Takeshi Miki (National Taiwan University), and
Professor Masayasu Mimura (Meiji University), we successfully described the relation between
Lotka-Volterra equations with diffusion terms and compartment models by mathematical calculation.
We characterized the dispersal rate in qualitative compartment models with observable amounts.
Furthermore, we also numerically characterized Laplacian eigenvalues and eigenfunctions which
combines the two models above and causes a bifurcation. We have summarized the findings in a paper
which has been accepted by a journal for publication.

: Spatio-Temporal Pattern Formed by Collective Motion of
Micro-Organisms, A Group Motion of Inanimate Self-Driven
Particles, Stochastic Resonance in Coupled System of Axon
Research Outline
Spatio-temporal patterns of collective motion can be easily observed in nature such as ant trail, a
school of fish and birds. These pattern formation processes are usually investigated using
mathematical model. However, it is difficult to verify the model because of complexity of behavior
and interaction. Here, we focus on a micro-organism and an active matter. These objects are simple
enough to research in detail by experiments. We carry out both experiments and numerical calculation
in order to clarify each mechanism of pattern formation.
A group of micro-organisms often generates a macroscopic ordered pattern such as a bacteria colony
and bioconvection. The bioconvection is one of fluidic patterns caused by an upward swimming of
the micro-organisms. The oriented swimming is induced in response to an external stimulus or force
field, e.g., a gradient in oxygen concentration, light illumination, and gravity. We focused on a
swimming micro-organism exhibiting phototaxis, Euglena. In contrast to a general bioconvection
appearing all over a chamber, Euglena formed a bioconvection in a part of a chamber (Figure 1). The
green spots in Figure 1 are downward flows. We constructed a mathematical model based on the
photosensitive behavior of each cell, and reproduced the localized bioconvection.
Inanimate system was constructed with camphor boats, which could move spontaneously on water
surface due to surface tension difference. Up to 51 camphor boats were floated on a annular water
channel and their collective motion was observed (Figure 2a). The camphor boats showed three types
of collective motion, i.e., free flow and congestion flow correspond to those of traffic flow (Figure 2b,
c), and a ‘cluster’ mode as seen in ant trail.
concentration field.
The camphor boats interacts each other through camphor
In light of this interaction, a mathematical model was built to analyze the
interaction. The mathematical model revealed that ‘cluster’ mode may appear in the case that the
interaction worked over three boats.

Research Outline
The aim of our current fiscal year study was to develop new analysis methods for economic
time-series, geotechnical engineering data, and geoscience data, which are typical examples of high
frequency data, to acquiring new findings through the advancement of conventional nonlinear
time-series analysis and data assimilation techniques.
Data assimilation is the method of integrating results obtained from the computer simulation of
actual phenomena and data observed in reality, to acquire new findings and enhance the accuracy of the
prediction of real phenomena. Initially, the method was developed in the geophysics area mainly in
meteorology, but in recent years, it is extensively applied in areas requiring large-scale analysis such as
life sciences, geotechnical engineering, and aeronautical engineering with the progress of information
communication technology and computational technology.
Particle filter is a nonlinear time-series analysis method that allows the handling of arbitrary
nonlinear estimation problems, and a potent approach for data assimilation. However, because it
requires massive computer resources, it is still rarely applied compared to other methods. Due to the
need for new knowledge and the need to consider and resolve the problem of degeneracy, much
remains to be studied.
During the current fiscal year, we continued to focus on relations with real phenomena, and work on
the development of time-series analysis algorithms for discovering new findings centering around the
particle filter, together with researchers from various areas.
Regarding the potentials of unbalanced complex kinetics (PUCK) model, which is an econophysics
model, we developed algorithms for direct estimation using the particle filter, and verified its efficiency
with simulation data obtained from actual foreign exchange time-series. Although we were restricted by
the potent hypothesis that the center of the potential depends on the past moving averages, the
algorithm developed during the current fiscal year allows for estimating parameters expressing basic
market information. In this area, we will continue to verify applicability of the algorithm to actual
currency exchange data.
After investigating the visualization of market instability in currency exchange transactions, we
developed a visualization program to express the propagation of market instability around the world
from a currency exchange time-series. The program allows us to more clearly identify the market
instability propagating on a worldwide level.
In the area of geotechnical data, we have confirmed the improvement of the accuracy of online
predictions on land subsidence through collaborative efforts with researchers from Kyoto and Okayama
Universities.
The scope of the geoscience data study included the study of earth’s geomagnetosphere, in
collaboration with researchers from Kyushu University. Focusing on the development of algorithms for
detecting abnormalities using singular spectrum analysis (SSA), we have developed a precise algorithm
for the detection of abnormality occurrences, which will contribute to the understanding of the auroral
storm phenomenon.

Research Outline
The genome database of several types of living things is gradually growing with the progress of the
comprehensive analysis of genes. To determine to what extent we can describe real cells using simple
models, which is a characteristic of Mathematical Modeling and Analysis, we investigated the behavior
of simple models on the gene network using the genome database. In FY2010, we mainly worked on
extracting network structures playing important roles in genetic control from actual genetic network
structures. Specifically, first we used the E. Coli (k-12) gene database (RegulonDB version 6.0:
http://regulondb.ccg.unam.mx/) to build a gene regulatory network (GRNs) and conducted research on
the following by numerical calculation:
1. Intrinsic structural properties of GRNs
2. Extraction of core network structures playing important roles in GRNs
For 1, we compared the network structure of GRNs and artificial networks (scale-free network), and
demonstrated that with GRN’s distribution of number of links of networks (degree distribution) , the
number of input links shows a Poisson distribution, while the number of output links shows a
power-law distribution. We also studied the degree correlation and found while that of GRN is very
small, that of the scale-free network we use is large. These results indicate that with the GRN of E. Coli,
genes receiving many inputs do not necessarily give many outputs to other genes, suggesting that the
intrinsic properties of GRNs may provide direction to the flow of information in GRNs. For 2, I have
been working on identifying core networks using random Boolean dynamics in my research, but
because it was difficult to determine Boolean functions from the database, I attempted to extract core
networks using only network structures. From our research results to date, we know that loop structures
play an important role in the flow of information on directed networks, so we attempted to extract only
the loop structure from GRNs, and found that the core network structure differs greatly with and
without self-feedback loops.
These findings confirm that it is important to control the size of degree correlation and self-feedback
loop structure when modeling genetic networks. In particular, they confirm that small degree
distribution is found in the genetic networks of other living things, but is a characteristic absent in
social networks, suggesting that it is unique to the genetic networks of living things.

: Mathematical modeling of infectious disease propagation
Research Outline
The scope for the current fiscal year included mathematical models of collective motion with
aggregation pheromone and of the transmission of infectious diseases using mathematical modeling and
analysis. In the following paragraphs, we discuss the details of our studies:
Professor Masayasu Mimura, Dr. Hirofumi Izuhara, and I launched a collaborative study to explore
mathematical models of collective motion in FY2010. Insects such as ants and German cockroaches
secrete and sense pheromone to control collective motion. German cockroaches sense aggregation
pheromone, form clusters, and establish appropriate population density to facilitate the procreation and
growth of future generations. We studied the collective motions with aggregation pheromone from
microscopic and macroscopic point of views. Especially, from microscopic point of view, we have
investigated individual motions using numerical simulation of individual and aggregation pheromone.
We consider a hybrid model in which individuals secrete aggregation pheromone while each individual
moves randomly in a two-dimensional square lattice system, and the concentration of pheromone
changes obeying the diffusion equation. We assume that individuals in places where the pheromone
concentration is high tend to remain in the same places. If the motion of individuals depends on the
concentration gradient of pheromone, it is easy to understand that individuals form self-organizing
clusters. However, in our research, we focus on the question of whether individuals can also form
clusters even without such effects. The results of numerical simulations of our hybrid model have
suggested that the self-organizing clusters are formed even only with the effects of individuals staying
at places with high pheromone concentration.
Study on the mathematical models of the transmission of infectious diseases is in collaboration with
Professor Mimura. The recent epidemics of new influenza viruses and foot-and-mouth disease, known
to be spread by livestock, pose a socially important challenge of how to control these pandemics. In this
study, we especially focused on the relation between the transmission of infectious diseases and the
incubation period, expressed each individual as particles moving randomly, and carried out a numerical
simulation. We considered susceptible individuals, infected individuals in the incubation period,
infected individuals with infectious ability, and recovered individuals. The four states are represented
by four internal states of each particle in our model. We assumed that susceptible individual is infected
when the susceptible and infected individuals with infectious ability at the same position. We
introduced the effect of mobility reduction, considering that when individuals become infected and
develop symptoms, they rest at home, or their motion is restricted under the administrative measures.
As the result, we found that, even if there is mobility reduction, the final size of infection does not
decrease much when the incubation period exists. On the other hand, the final size can be drastically
reduced if there is mobility reduction but no incubation period. These findings suggest that for
infectious diseases with a short incubation period, an effective measure is prompt reduction of the
mobility for all individuals included susceptible individuals by having them stay at home, etc.

: From elucidation of jamming phenomena in traffic flow to
mitigation of traffic jams using optical illusion
Research Outline
Our lives are filled with various types of congestion phenomena. In particular, the number one cause
of congestion on highways is known to be “sag sections.” Although sag sections are actually areas
going uphill, they incline moderately. Drivers do not realize that they are going up, and hence drive
without accelerating appropriately. Past studies have already identified one of the major causes of
traffic congestion on highways is car speed dropping without the driver being aware (speed
fluctuations). It is believed that this congestion phenomenon is triggered by visual illusion phenomenon
where drivers are not able to correctly judge the slope of the road and fail to realize that it is going
uphill. Also called visual illusions of a vertical gradient, they are observed on many actual roads such
as the Dokebi Road (mysterious road) on Jeju Island, Korea and on the Yashima Driveway on Shikoku
Island, Japan. Apparently, measures to prevent drivers from incorrectly recognizing road inclination
through visual illusions are essential to ease traffic congestion. Our study for the current fiscal year
proposed a method to correctly judge road inclination and verified to what extent visual illusions of
vertical gradients can be controlled.
As one solution, we proposed drawing stripe patterns on both sides of a road (see the figure below).
We conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate how drivers would perceive slopes in respect to
these stripe patterns, and examined the effectiveness of the solution proposed. The results suggest that
drivers are substantially influenced by information on the vicinity of roads. Their perception of road
inclination depends on the stripe pattern. In particular, most drivers recognized stripes as horizontal,
suggesting that they judge road inclination from the difference between the observed and horizontal
stripe patterns and that the effective use of stripe pattern may reduce the misperception of road
inclination. Because stripe patterns can be painted, as a simple solution, on the soundproof walls of
highways and walls inside tunnels, which can cause misperception easily, it is thought to be a realistic
and effective method for eliminating visual illusions and traffic congestions.
How steep is the road in the distance? Most drivers judge the road in the left figure as horizontal
while the right figure as going uphill.

What are humans? In order to answer this question, we need to know how humans evolved from apes to
our state today. Anthropological studies have shown that the evolution process consists of three important
stages. The first stage is characterized by the separation of human lineage from the chimpanzee lineage and
evolution of bipedalism in hominids, which occurred six to eight million years ago. The human lineage
thereafter started to evolve to humans while the chimpanzee lineage has remained in the realm of apes today.
The second stage is characterized by the emergence of the genus Homo and the beginning of brain expansion,
which occurred two to three million years ago. Around this time, hominids started to use stone tools, which
allowed them to enhance adaptation and broaden the distribution to outside Africa. The third stage is
characterized by the emergence of we Homo sapiens around 200,000 years ago, which marked also the
emergence of diverse and complicated culture and behavior. Finally, the distribution of humans expanded to
the whole world, achieving an explosive increase in population.
Why did hominids become bipedal in the first stage? There exist tens of hypotheses, and the real reason is
yet unknown. Of these, Lovejoy’s hypothesis has attracted the most interest recently. According to the
hypothesis, the male needed to provide more food for the female to attract them due to changes in mating
system, which caused the evolution to bipedalism that is more efficient locomotion to achieve their task.
Around the same time, male canines also started to decrease in size, providing evidence that direct fighting
between males decreased and the importance of attracting females had increased. To verify the logical
validity of the hypothesis, I have been studying how mating strategies evolve and under what conditions, in
collaboration with Dr. Shiro Horiuchi of Meiji University. Our findings suggest that human mating system is
highly likely to have evolved from the polygamous groups like gorillas, and not the promiscuous multi-male
and multi-female groups like chimpanzees. Supported by paleoanthropological evidence, these results then
raise doubts against Lovejoy’s hypothesis, which implies that humans evolved from the chimpanzee-type
mating system.
As the reason for the increase in brain capacity in the second stage, my research findings up to the last
fiscal year suggest the increased importance of acquiring information by learning in response to the drying
of the African continent around two to three million years ago, during which the instinctive behavior of
hominids became inappropriate.
It is being argued that changes in social learning strategies may have had an impact on the emergence of
diverse and complex culture and activities in Homo sapiens in the third stage. In this area, I have been
working together with Professor Joseph Henrich of the University of British Columbia and Associate
Professor Joe Yuichiro Wakano of Meiji University to investigate what social learning strategies evolve
under what conditions. We have found that the strategy of socially learning actions while checking
effectiveness, which is unique to Homo sapiens, evolves when the environment changes temporally, not
when it changes spatially. The explosive diversification of culture occurred under Homo sapiens 30,000 to
60,000 years ago when rapid climate changes occurred frequently, suggesting its relation with the cultural
diversification.

: the method of characteristics.
Research Outline
The keyword of this study is the method of characteristics. The idea of the method of characteristics
is to consider the trajectory of fluid particles, which move in both space and time, and discretize the
so-called material derivative along the trajectory. The scope of my research is numerical analysis based
on this method. The concept of the method can be applied to main numerical methods of partial
differential equations such as finite difference and element methods. My interest lies in the potential of
the characteristics finite element schemes made by combination of the finite element method and the
method of characteristics. Features of the schemes include the flexibility of the domain shape and the
advanced mathematical analysis, which are provided by the finite element method, and the symmetry
of the coefficient matrices of large-system of linear equations to be finally solved, which are provided
by the method of characteristics, reducing the computation time and memory required by half.
Consequently, it is a practical numerical solution with mathematical reliability.
With the progress of computers, we are now able to simulate three-dimensional phenomena directly,
which is expected to serve as the standard simulation approach in the near future. This requires
computational schemes taking into account three-dimensional computations, and to this end, Hughes et.
al. [1986] provided a breakthrough which leads to easy three-dimensional computation. Although the
characteristics finite element method lags behind the progress of three-dimensional large-scale
parallelization around the world, we recently developed a pressure-stabilized characteristics finite
element scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations, which serves as the basis of the flow problem [Notsu
and Tabata 2008, Notsu 2008]. This is an advanced characteristics finite element scheme, useful for
three-dimensional computation. Presently, we are working on the development of the next-stage
characteristics finite element method while validating the usefulness of the scheme (see Figure 1).

Since the end of the cold war, the large-scale migration of humans, which dates back to the Age of
Exploration, has been called globalization, and it has been increasing even more intensely. The
large-scale migration of humans is recognized to have various effects on society, one of which is the
extinction of local culture. Many mountain village cultures, one topic of my study, are also on the verge
of extinction. This may be because many move away from mountain villages to the city on one hand,
and those who come back after experiencing urban culture try to live their urban lifestyles in their
homes.
Interestingly, some mountain villages have succeeded in reviving their local culture by promoting it
as a tourism attraction. Tourism is one straightforward example of globalization, however, and existing
studies have emphasized its features that destroyed local culture. The results of my studies suggest
potential opportunities in which interactions of local residents with tourists lead to the creation of
unique local culture or the significance of indigenous culture is rediscovered in the learning from the
past manner.
Why is tourism able to create local culture in some cases and destroy it in others? To understand this
mechanism, we built an agent-based model on a computer and carried out analysis. In the model,
multiple regions are set and multiple agents are assigned to stay in each region. The agents have unique
cultures as variants (strategies). Agents play adjustment games in the same region. If agents with the
same culture as their variant interact with each other, they gain profit. If agents with different cultures
interact, both parties do not gain any profit. If agents are allowed to move randomly between regions,
which is defined as diffusion, all regional communities will be governed by one culture after some time
even though the probability of diffusion is low. I also examined the situation where an agent can
selectively move to a region dominated by those with the same culture as the agent, which is defined as
escape, in addition to diffusion, and agents can move not only to neighboring but also distant regions in
both diffusion and movement. The results have found that the diversity in local cultures is increased if
the rate of selective movement is higher than diffusion of if the region to which agents can diffuse or
move to stretches far away.
The results of computational experiments suggest two aspects of globalization. When there is a
tendency for people to move without a purpose, the uniformity of local culture occurs. However, when
people with a clearer sense of purpose move, or when a region is able to accurately deliver information
on those people, local culture can be diversified by applying globalization.

Recent active research on the mathematical models of tumors attracts considerable attention from the
areas of life science and medicine. The aim of our study is to simplify the tumor infiltration process,
build two cell population models for different species demonstrating contact inhibition effects, and
obtain insight to the true nature of tumor infiltration from the standpoint of Mathematical Modeling and
Analysis.
Two major topics for the current fiscal year were to investigate, by applying mathematical analysis,
(1) the nature of segregated traveling wave solutions of contact inhibition models, and (2) the
characteristics of overlapping stationary solutions of contact inhibition models. The simulations of the
model equation by Dr. Yusaku Nagata (MIMS researcher) suggest that the behavior of the solutions of
the equation is finally governed by the segregated traveling wave solutions or overlapping stationary
solutions, and the solution which appears is determined by the parameters of the model equation. We
hope to eventually understand the mathematical structure of such totally different dynamics of contact
inhibition models.
For (1), we investigated how the speed of the separable traveling wave solutions depends on a
specified parameter k. More precisely, we proved that the limit of separable traveling wave solutions
converges to the traveling wave solutions of the corresponding single-species cell population model if k
approaches 0 or infinity. For (2), we established the conditions required for overlapped stationary
solutions to exist. To identify the structure of the stationary solutions, phase plane analysis was applied.
Although new ideas for existence proof were inspired, there remain numerous problems that need to be
solved, and we are currently reviewing them. As for the segregated traveling wave analysis, there
remain many important and difficult challenges such as stability analysis, and we will continue our
research in this area.
To present the results of studies on contact inhibition models including those conducted during the
current fiscal year, we have been preparing to submit related papers. In addition, we particularly took an
active stance to present findings at study meetings and seminars, etc. (11 presentations, and 2 poster
presentations). Major meetings were: AIMS (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences) Conference
(May, Germany), Annual Meeting of the Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
(September, Meiji University), Kyoto-ekimae Seminar (October, Kyoto), Far from Equilibrium
Dynamics 2011 (January 2011, Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University),
Kyushu Symposium on Partial Differential Equations (January, Kyushu University), and Fujita Health
University Mathematical Sciences Lecture Meeting (March, Fujita Health University). In addition, as
part of the activities of the educational and research program, Formation and Development of
Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis, we held a symposium for young researchers
on the Mathematic Analysis of Cells and Tumors in November. We invited six researchers involved
closely in the study of the Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of cells and tumors mainly using tumor
infiltration models to exchange findings and information, as well as discuss the importance of the field
from the viewpoint of Mathematical Modeling and Analysis.
Much of the research expenses incurred during the current fiscal year were travel expenses to
participate in research gatherings. The individual research budget was used for four trips including that
for the aforementioned AIMS. Of the four occasions, two were to present findings and the remaining
two were for accompanying students as supervisors to meetings intended for research interchange and
information gathering.

Research Outline
In last fiscal year, I have been working on the modeling of the time gaps of earthquake aftershocks using
modulated renewal processes. In this study, I propose a semi-parametric solution to estimate the intensity
(hazard) function of modulated renewal processes to study the survival pattern of the processes: a
non-parametric estimate for the baseline intensity function together with a parametric estimate of the model
parameters of the covariate processes. Modulated renewal processes have been widely used in reliability,
seismology and biomedicine to explain the patent of recurrent events. An example of recurrent events is that
the repeated episodes of illness based on patients’ disease history. Numerous literatures are available to
provide approaches to estimate the intensity functions, such as partial likelihood, Bayesian and robust
estimations, such as Lin and Fine (2009, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B, 71, 3－23). In
most literatures, a renewal process is taken as a starting point to model a sequence of such renewal events. In
this type of processes, the lengths of the time－intervals between each pair of neighboring events are
identically and independently distributed. In order to make use of the analyzing techniques from survival
analysis, each inter－event interval is re－arranged as an individual sample, starting at 0, and dying off after
it survives a period of time of the same length as this interval. This treatment has also been used in more
complicated models that are extended from the renewal processes, such as the modulated renewal processes
that firstly proposed by Cox (1972, Stochastic Point Processes, 55－66). Based on the martingale property
associated with the conditional intensity, I construct a statistic from residual analysis (see Zhuang, 2006,
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B, 68 , 635－653) to estimate the baseline renewal intensity
function, when the model parameters of the covariate processes are known. Moreover, I also suggest using
penalized regression splines with B–spline basis functions to smooth the estimator. On the other hand, when
the baseline intensity is obtained, the model parameters can be estimated using the usual maximum
likelihood estimation. In practice, both the baseline intensity and model parameters are suggested to be
estimated simultaneously via an iterative manner. Using this method, the estimators of model parameters
enjoy the good properties of full likelihood, such as consistency and convergence to normality
asymptotically. The proposed estimating procedure is also compared with the existing methods that derived
from the survival analysis. To illustrate the performance of the proposed method, two sets of data are
analyzed: a dataset simulated from a simple Weibull renewal process and the aftershock data occurred at
Wenchuan, China, in 2008. For the first data set, I simulated a process following a Weibull distribution and
the estimator of the baseline intensity function is estimated. For the latter example, the covariate process is
chosen to follow an Omori–Utsu formula that explains the behavior of the rate of aftershocks, which is
proportional to the inverse of time since the mainshock. For both analyses, the proposed estimating process
provided quite successful estimators to the datasets. The result of this study was presented at the annual
meeting of the Japanese Society of Computational Statistics and the Second International Conference on
Mathematical Sciences (ICMS2－2010), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It will be completed as a research paper
for submission to a journal.

:Theoretical study on cell migration and collective motion of
animals, etc.
Research Outline
Our bodies are composed of basic units called cells. Although cells are like bags containing thick
fluid, they are able to move by themselves, which is defined as migration in technical terms. The
elucidation of the migration is an important task, which may lead to the cure of many diseases. For
instance, rheumatism is a disease that attacks one’s own body tissues, mistaking them to be the enemy.
But it will never develop unless immune cells move to the diseased site. Cancer is a scary disease
because it also metastasizes. Metastasis means the transfer of cancer cells by itself. Once it becomes
clear how disease cells transfer, we should be able to find cures for all of these diseases that have
plagued humankind. However, at this point, the cell migration mechanism has yet to be defined because
it is so complicated. Cells are composed of many kinds of molecules, and they migrate when they
interact with each other chemically. Furthermore, the chemical reaction not only causes migration but
also processes information. The question “Can mathematical sciences help elucidate the complex cell
migration?” served as the starting point of my research. Cells are indeed complicated, but perhaps we
can understand them more simply by studying them from a different perspective. For instance, Toyota
cars, which are machines invented by humans, are made up of several tens of thousands of parts, but
the essence of a car can be summed up by its steering wheel, engine, and tires. I proposed the following
examples of such a concept. The true nature of cells is the caterpillar mechanism of a bulldozer. Unlike
the caterpillar, the gel state (solid) of the outer shell of cells flows to the back, liquefies (solation) at the
tail, and flows to the front where it solidifies once again. Cells do not have anterior and posterior axes,
and the front and rear sides switch each time. Something controls the flow of the gel and solid. The gel
forming the outer shell of the cell contains numerous molecules, which flow in the direction opposite to
the migration of cells together with the gel. Upon reaching the rear end, the gel liquefies, but some
molecules remain gel at this point. As a result, these molecules continue to accumulate at the rear side
of the cells. If these molecules are those controlling the promotion of solation and inhibition of gelation,
and should cells be migrating gradually towards a certain direction, these molecules will accumulate at
the rear, thereby promoting further solation at the back and intensifying the flow of liquid and gel.
Based on the hypothesis of such promotion or inhibition by these molecules, if the cells stop due to
some reason, they will gradually become uniform, the tendency of the cells moving in the current
direction will weaken, and migration to another direction due to small fluctuations will grow stronger
again. We applied a mathematical simulation based on such process of such behavior, and succeeded in
quantitatively reproducing complicated shapes and movements very closely resembling real cells.
These calculation results suggest that the complex migration of cells is not necessarily due to the many
different molecules that make up the cells, but is caused by simple cellular mechanisms.

:Evolutionary game theory and its applications.
Research Outline
To solve several economic problems of today, we need to analyze the mechanism in complex
economic phenomena. In addition, there are several types’ players behind the economic phenomena and
we need to understand the players’ decision making and their behavior. I have researched evolutionary
game theory and its applications to the financial market structure focused on the player’s bounded
rationality behavior.
1. Theoretical Study
1) Convergence to Nash equilibrium and equilibrium selection with the Bayes learning: I
extended Kalai and Lehrer (Econometrica,1993), which examined the convergence of the
strategies of players with using Bayes learning to the Nash equilibrium, to be applicable even in
games where only mixed strategies were Nash equilibrium. In particular, I proved it focused on
the martingale convergence to the expected payoff. Furthermore, equilibrium selection was
examined in the case of likelihood which is binomial distribution or normal distribution as an
example.
2) Common property resource games with nonlinear utility function: In the common property
resource game, which resources become depleted if each player with linear utility function
behaves selfishly (Sethi and Somanathan Amer. Econ. Rev., 1996), it was expanded that each
player has nonlinear utility function and derived the conditions which each player chooses
cooperative action under an indirect evolutionary approach. The game was further extended to
those between players with different asset levels and the conditions which each player choose
cooperative action were derived in the same way.
3) Game theory for empirical analysis: To demonstrate an empirical analysis of economical
phenomena with game structure, game theory with using the statistical population, which is the
second interpretation of the Nash equilibrium, was formulated with Kikkawa (Prog. Theor. Phys.,
2009). Assuming an evolutionary approach, the game was expanded to the dynamical framework.
As an example, I demonstrated the zero-sum game and the order book in the financial market and
derived Nash equilibrium by re-defining the subjective payoff matrix which is own utility for
each player in the game.
2. Application: Financial Market Structure The financial market model formulated with using the
double auction theory (c.f. Chatterjee and Samuelson, Oper. Res., 1983) was re-considered to examine
the financial market microstructure theoretically and demonstrate an empirical analysis. The results
found that investors do not trade rationally and rush to submit the order in some cases. In particular, by
using the relationship derived in theoretical research 3), it was empirically founded that the variance of
expected payoffs and distribution of volume was proportional to the difference of the reservation price
between investors.

:estimate government bond price from market data
Research Outline
In Japan, the fiscal burden is anticipated to grow ever greater in the future with slow economic
growth, sluggish tax revenues, and the ageing of the baby boomers. Government bonds will hence
undoubtedly need to play an increasingly larger role in fund procurement.
Under these circumstances, an experimental study on the cross-sectional market (CSM) model for
government bond pricing proposed by Kariya (1995) was conducted based on the convenient
characteristics of national government bonds, which can be assumed to have no credit risks. We also
examined the expansion of models based on the results. The characteristics of the CSM model include
the assessment of the variations in pricing due to the difference in attribute information of government
bonds (coupon and redemption period). These are called a coupon effect and the effect of different
maturity stages. To calculate the present value of government bonds, the CSM model capitalizes fixed
cash flow value in the future using the attribute-dependent stochastic discount function of each bond at
each time cash flow occurs. The formulation of the attribute-dependent stochastic discount function
includes, as attributes, coupon size and time until the redemption period, which are thought to affect
government bond pricing. The generalized least-squares method using market price data is applied to
estimate parameters based on inter-bond correlations described by attributes.
After completing formulations for the review as well as building the system serving as the basis of
the review, we started working on our experimental study. To establish models capable of explaining
market price more precisely, validations, improvements, and comparisons with conventional models are
under way.
In addition, we have also examined the model if it is useful to predict the changes (yield curve) in
earning yields without taking into account the degree of impact of coupon effects, effects of different
maturity stages, or attributes in market trades of government bonds.

Study on Spiral Dynamic Coexisting State
of Three Competing Populations
We also studied the partial differential equation system in a one-dimensional infinite domain due to reasons
described later.
With this system, if N = 2, the competitive exclusion principle is established. If N = 2 and the model
equation is handled in a one-dimensional infinite domain, heteroclinic traveling-wave solutions exist, where
one population eliminates other populations. If N = 3, the strength of the three populations competing is the
same, and the diffusion effects are ignored and competitive exclusion is established. However, Ei Ikota and
Mimura (1999) found that the addition of a diffusion term causes the segregated areas to form a dynamic
pattern, which enables coexistence in some cases.
For an invading population weaker than the existing two populations, wherein it does not survive without
diffusion effects, the coexistence state in which a dynamic spiral pattern is formed and none of the three
populations die was recently discovered mathematically. In parameter areas where the spiral pattern is
formed, mathematical analysis demonstrated that the presence of heteroclinic nontrivial stable traveling
waves is related to all three variables.
The focus of our research continued from the last fiscal year to be on the relation with traveling waves in
one-dimensional infinite domains to understand the dynamic spiral coexistence state in detail. As part of the
research, we mathematically analyzed the bifurcation structure of traveling waves to clarify their stability.
First, we targeted the bifurcation structure of heteroclinic nontrivial stable traveling waves as parameters
controlling b23. In the area where the limit point is reached, the unstable branch is returned, and spiral
patterns are formed if b23 is small, the presence of both stable and unstable nontrivial traveling waves was
identified by mathematical analysis. Furthermore, the presence of homoclinic nontrivial stable traveling
waves combining stable nontrivial and trivial traveling wave solutions was confirmed. The analysis of the
bifurcation structure of the homoclinic traveling waves confirmed that Hopf bifurcation and periodic
vibration wave solutions occur depending on the b23 changes. In parameter areas where Hopf bifurcation
occurs, the formation of complex comma-shaped spiral patterns was confirmed in two-dimensional problems.
Although a relation between the complex patterns of two-dimensional problems and Hopf bifurcation of
one-dimensional problems was estimated to exist, we were not able to obtain clear results in FY2010.
As related studies, we are also investigating the stability and bifurcation structure of quasi-exact stationary
solutions for three competing populations discovered by L.C. Hung et. al.
Some results of the research were presented in the research seminar on Recent Themes on Partial
Differential Equation System in April 2010 in Beppu and the Mathematical Modeling and Analysis
Mini-symposium for Young Researchers on Stable Coexistence by Evolution and Morphological Formation
of Reaction-Diffusion Systems in August 2010.

Research Description
series analysis
Research Outline
As in the last fiscal year, we continued our ongoing research on measuring the effects of advertising.
Given the changes in the environment surrounding advertising in recent years, some midterm
corrections have been made to the measurement method, etc. In the past, measurement of advertising
effects and brand diagnosis were mainly done using point-of-sale (POS) data and by questionnaire
surveys. In recent years, given the growing popularity of the brain science approach in the marketing
field, services measuring and analyzing brain waves (electroencephalogram, EEG) have been
increasing rapidly. In response, we added the new theme of developing analytical methods for
providing better measurement and analytical services for the current fiscal year.
EEG enables controlled experiments based on the theory of design of experiments, which is included
in the title of the article. The time series analysis, also shown in the title, can also be applied to EEG.
On the other hand, POS data provides real market information, but controlled experiments are
impossible. Therefore, EEG may become the ideal measurement method in the future.
However, EEG posed several problems if actually measured. The first is the problem of the burden
on the subjects being measured. As they need to wear headsets with wet electrodes, their heads become
wet with the cleaning solution during the process. Subjects are thus reluctant to participate, and natural
psychological states cannot be maintained. The next is the problem of measurement noise. As brain
waves are micro electromagnetic waves, muscle potential such as blinking of eyes is stronger, erasing
the required information. The third is the problem of the cycle. If complete periodic data is available,
information can be obtained from frequency analysis, but because the cyclic nature itself changes with
time, and the time interval is very short, it is difficult to handle. The last is the problem of nonlinearity.
As expected to a certain degree from precedent studies, data that cannot be handled when traditional
linear models are used was obtained.
The first problem will be solved sooner or later given the rapid progress of measurement devices.
Already as of 2011, inexpensive devices using dry electrodes were announced. As for the second
problem, we have made comprises on the policy of eliminating noise according to the results of
precedent studies. Specifically, a high frequency filter and independent component analysis are used to
eliminate muscle potential such as blinking of the eye. However, as this method may eliminate useful
information by mistake at the same time, it remains a task to be solved in the future. As for the third
problem, the theory of KM2O-Langevin equations was improved, instead of applying time-frequency
analysis, to examine the quality of data without being affected by the frequency components. To
demonstrate its practicality, the effectiveness of the method was verified by analyzing the dynamics of
the sunspot number data, and the next sunspot number peak was predicted.
To solve the last problem, the methods for studying the properties of nonlinearity were under
investigation by applying chaos analysis in addition to the results of the theory of KM2O-Langevin
equations. A method to measure emotions according to nonlinearity is also under investigation.

Research Outline
Understanding the mechanism of evolutionary diversification and the influence of Allee effect remains
the core problems in evolutionary biology. In this year, I have done the following work.
First, we investigated the influence of Allee effect in a predator–prey system with Holling type II
functional response. Compared with the predator–prey model without Allee effect, we find that the Allee
effect of prey species increases the extinction risk of both predators and prey. When the handling time of
predators is relatively short and the Allee effect of prey species becomes strong, both predators and prey may
become extinct. Moreover, it is shown that the model with Allee effect undergoes the Hopf bifurcation and

heteroclinic bifurcation. The Allee effect of prey species can lead to unstable periodical oscillation. It is also
found that the positive equilibrium of the model could change from stable to unstable, and then to stable
when the strength of Allee effect or the handling time of predators increases continuously from zero, that is,
the model admits stability switches as a parameter changes. When the Allee effect of prey species becomes
strong, longer handling time of predators may stabilize the coexistent steady state. This paper has been
published in Applied Mathematics and Computation (2010, 217(7): 3542-3556).
Second, with the method of adaptive dynamics and geometric technique, we investigated the adaptive
evolution of foraging-related phenotypic traits in a predator–prey community with trade-off structure.
Specialization on one prey type is assumed to go at the expense of specialization on another. First, we
identify the ecological and evolutionary conditions that allow for evolutionary branching in the predator
phenotype. Generally, if there is a small switching cost near the singular strategy, then this singular strategy
is an evolutionary branching point, in which the predator population will change from monomorphism to
dimorphism. Second, we find that if the trade-off curve is globally convex, the predator population
eventually branches into two extreme specialists, each completely specializing on a particular prey species.
However, if the trade-off curve is concave–convex–concave, after branching has occurred in the predator
phenotype, the two predator species will evolve to an interior singular dimorphism at which they can
continuously stable coexist. The analysis reveals that an attractive dimorphism will always be evolutionarily
stable and that no further branching is possible under this model. This work has been published in Journal
of Theoretical Biology (2011, 268(1): 14-29).
Third, I finished the Ph.D. dissertation and got the Ph.D. Degree in this year.
Overall, during the past year, I have done some interesting work. I greatly improved my research ability and
learned a lot of methods and techniques to deal with the evolutionary problems in ecology.

Research Description
: Modeling and analysis of bacterial colony patterns
Research Outline
Budrene and Berg (1991) observed three types of colony with different geometric patterns in
response to changing only the nutrient element concentration in the culture of chemotactic Escherichia
coli (E. coli) strains (HCB317tsr) in agar medium. They gave four reasons for the development of these
patterns: multiplication of bacteria due to nutritional intake, random motion, chemotactic agents, and
chemotactic migration. They also suggested that the patterns are formed not due to genetic control but
in a self-organized manner when these four factors are in appropriate balance, but gave no explanation.
We succeeded in reproducing patterns similar to actual colonies in terms of the final patterns and the
formation process by setting appropriate conditions and defining the nutrient element concentration as
the free parameter in the Mimura-Hiroyama model (2002) (Figure). The results suggest that E. coli may
be able to form colony patterns with geometric structures, self-organizedly by appropriately balancing
nutritional intake and chemotactic migration.
Figure: Colony patterns formed by experiments and reproduction by simulation
Based on the results discussed, our study has focused on the following activities:
(1) Discuss the validity of multiplication, chemotaxis, and secretion and other functions given for building
models from a biological viewpoint.
(2) Investigate model equations from a mathematical viewpoint, specifically in terms of the existence of
solutions, asymptotical behavior, and global structure of equilibrium solutions (parameters).
(3) Provide new insight into the mechanism of forming colony patterns of chemotactic E. coli through
mathematical model analysis and simulation.

Research Description
: Intelligent systems of electric power system
Research Outline
Wind power generation has been consistently installed around the world as a means of preventing
global warming. Despite the advantage of emitting no CO2, its large output fluctuations are feared to
have an adverse impact on electric power systems. It is hence important to calculate predictions of
future wind power generation and error margins of such predictions (confidence interval), and control
output fluctuations using these values.
For the FY2010 study, the regression equation and fuzzy inference were used to estimate wind speed
to the next day, the confidence interval of wind speed, output, and the confidence interval of output,
with the weather forecast grid point values (GPV), which the meteorological agency mathematically
calculates for approximately 20-km meshes as the input information.
Wind speed prediction is comprised of three steps. In the first step, wind speed at the height of the
windmill is estimated using the weather forecast GPV as the input. In the second step, the wind speed is
corrected to that at the point of the windmill, and in the third step, the predicted wind speed in several
hours are corrected based on the current predicted error.
The confidence interval of the wind speed is calculated using fuzzy inference based on the wind
speed and target time of prediction.
In wind farms with several windmills, the output of windmills on the leeward is occasionally reduced
by those located on the windward. We therefore constructed a calculating model for output based on the
wind direction and wind speed using another fuzzy inference.
Figures 1 and 2 show the results of predictions calculated using the proposed method. The results show
the effectiveness of the proposed method, because almost all of actual output are within the estimated
confidence interval.

Research Description
: Market Analysis using market microstructures
Research Outline
The aims of the study were to analyze investment actions related to pricing and trading methods in
the Japanese stockmarket and other exchange transactions based on the results of market microstructure
research, which has been gradually growing in recent years; investigate and present factors enhancing
market polarity and systematic problems; and explore and verify investment opportunities in the
stockmarket while taking into account elements related to behavioral finance. My work experience in
the stockmarket was used for the study as necessary.
Numerous fundamental investment opportunities were identified by applying knowledge obtained
through my practical business experience, and the ideal price assessment methods of such investment
opportunities were examined. Investment opportunities have been visualized based on these market
data, using statistical software and calculation methods. High frequency market data (tick data) were
usually used to verify analyses on current high frequencies (high frequency trades), algorithmic trading
(automated trading), and various basket trades.
Existing studies and the reports of sell-side brokers were reviewed. If I am able to discover trading
opportunities that would have been impossible to discover myself, I hope to expand them further by
combining my own experience.
The main methods include statistical data analysis and simulations based on stochastic models to
clarify the relation between past stock price changes and trading systems and rules of the stock
exchanges. Prior to these validation analyses, I have reviewed studies on asset price theories and the
market microstructure, and am currently selecting candidate models for analysis.
The objective, method, and anticipated results of this study differ significantly from those of
conventional studies assuming efficient markets because ideas obtained from personal work experience
are used. Well aware that the new approach entails the risks of failing to obtain the expected results, I
will give priority to analysis focusing on trading opportunities, which is believed to be particularly
important based on practical experience. To obtain results that can be practically applied, efforts to
consistently produce universal and systematic results must be made.

:Development of new application model inspired by pattern formation
process of living organisms
Research Outline
We developed a new mesh generation method applying the characteristics of spontaneous pattern
formation in reaction-diffusion systems. With the Gray-Scott (GS) model, a type of reaction-diffusion
system, equally-spaced spot patterns are formed according to the shape of the calculated region. If
spatially non-uniform diffusion coefficients are used, the space between spots can be continuously
changed. By dividing the analyzed region taking these spots as the nodes, we believe that mesh can be
generated for the finite element method (FEM), which is a numerical solution for partial differential

equations. The advantages of this approach are that it can be applied to complex shapes, and that a
standardized program can be used to produce mesh in which the size of elements is controlled in any
coordinate. As new spots are spontaneously created in response to an increase in the calculated region,
this mesh generation method may be adaptable to enlargement and deformation of the analyzed region.
Using the self-organization mechanisms of reaction-diffusion systems, we developed a triangular mesh
generation method for any shapes in the two-dimensional space (Figure 1). The results of the study
were presented in the poster session of the FY2010 annual conference of the Japan Society for
Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and received the Best Poster Award[1].

Research Description
: Mathematical characterization of patterns appearing in reaction
diffusion systems
Research Outline
Many physical/chemical phenomena are represented by the partial differential equations. Among
them I am interested in the reaction-diffusion systems, which includes the kinetic dynamics and
diffusion process as follows:
(j =1,…m)
(RD)
u j ,t  d j u j  f j (u)
This system looks simple, but it is important to study the behavior of solutions. For example, the
dynamics of tissue formation and angiogenesis is also represented by a couple of reaction-diffusion
equations with three components.
To reveal the dynamics of solutions of (RD) we need to study the attractor because all solutions
converge to the attractor. It is difficult to investigate the attractor of the reaction-diffusion system in
general. So we consider the simplest case as the first step. Now we are treating the following
reaction-diffusion equation on R :
(AC)
ut  uxx  f (u)
2
which is called Allen-Cahn equation. Here f (u ) is C on an open interval containing [0,1] and
f (0)  f (a)  f (1)  0 , f '(1)  0 , f (0)  0 .
The equation possesses three homogeneous stationary solutions: 0, a, 1. The two equilibriums are
stable, one is unstable under the flow by the ordinary differential equation. The several types of
traveling wave solutions are already known. They belong to the attractor of (AC). Now, we are trying to
construct the new type of the entire solution of this equation. In professor Ninomiya and Morita’s work,
we know the existence of entire solutions with merging two fronts. Here, we show that one of the
dynamic of this entire solution.
In fact, there are other kinds of entire solutions. We expect there are entire solutions with merging
three fronts or four fronts. Through studying the entire solution, we can obtain more information about
the structure of the attractor. As the next step, we will apply this method to the reaction-diffusion
systems. Furthermore, the result can help us to understand the pattern in the reaction-diffusion system
more clearly.

Research Description
: Information security system of smart grid
Research Outline
Significance of research: A smart grid can help utilities conserve energy, reduce costs, increase reliability and
transparency, and make processes more efficient. The increasing use of IT-based electric power systems, however,
increases cyber security vulnerabilities, which increases cyber security’s importance. This project looks into the
security system of Smart Grid via Smart Planet system, focused on the selection of the model in developing
information security criteria on smart grid. The importance of information security criteria is the main aspect
perceived to impact customer trust towards the entire smart grid system.
Purpose of research: When the information is shared real-time between power generator, distributed resources,
service provider, control center, substation, even to end-users, any changes expose to hacker’s attack would
bring the whole system down to mess. This will dangerously create consumer distrust and dissatisfaction that
may lead to other more destructive phenomenon. This project identified the criteria that could enhance
information security system of a smart grid project and discussed about the impact and significance of each
requirements identified.
Research content: In order to realize the Smart Grid, data are gathered from large numbers of intelligent sensors and
processors installed on the power lines and equipment of the distribution grid. These data collected will be transferred
to central information processing systems which both present the information to operators and use the information to
send back control settings. While information and communication seems to be much more importance compare to
decades ago, the system has to be mightily strong to protect itself against hacker’s attack. This project explains the
importance of information security and the information security’s impact on consumer trust and satisfaction in a mind
mapping portrayed in the figure at the bottom.
Expected achievement: Design to prove that there is a significant positive relationship between the consumer
requirement and functional requirement elements with the help of fuzzy logic value which would serve to
eliminate ambiguity during data insertion and validation. The project takes aim to reveal the significant
information security criteria in a smart grid that would impact consumer’s trust and satisfaction towards the
entire system.
