| Popis: | We perform a parameter sensitivity analysis of the mapped interacting boson model (IBM) and boson-fermion-fermion model (IBFFM) description of $\beta$-decay properties of the neutron-rich even-even $^{96-110}$Zr and $^{98-110}$Mo nuclei, and neutron-deficient odd-odd $^{68,70}$As and even-even $^{78}$Ge nuclei. Based on the self-consistent mean-field calculations with a given energy density functional and a pairing interaction, strength parameters for the interacting-boson Hamiltonian describing even-even nuclei, single-particle energies and occupation probabilities for odd particles, which are needed to build the Gamow-Teller and Fermi transition operators as well as the IBFFM Hamiltonian, are completely determined. It is found that the calculated $\log{}_{10}ft$ values for the $\beta^+$ decay of $^{68}$As are particularly sensitive to the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction strength for the even-even boson core of the odd-odd nucleus, $^{68}$As, as in the case of the neutron-rich Zr isotopes studied previously. We further incorporate higher-order terms in the one-nucleon transfer operators in the boson system, and find that while their effects are non-negligible, they do not significantly alter qualitative features of $\beta$-decay properties. We report a novel application of the mapped IBM framework to compute $\beta$-decay half-lives, and show that the observed trend along isotopic chains are reasonably reproduced.
