Parametric dependence in model epidemics. I: contact-related parameters.
One of the interesting properties of nonlinear dynamical systems is that arbitrarily small changes in parameter values can induce qualitative changes in behavior. The changes are called bifurcations, and they are typically visualized by plotting asymptotic dynamics against a parameter. In some cases, the resulting bifurcation diagram is unique: irrespective of initial conditions, the same dynam...
متن کاملMitigation of epidemics in contact networks through optimal contact adaptation.
This paper presents an optimal control problem formulation to minimize the total number of infection cases during the spread of susceptible-infected-recovered SIR epidemics in contact networks. In the new approach, contact weighted are reduced among nodes and a global minimum contact level is preserved in the network. In addition, the infection cost and the cost associated with the contact redu...
متن کاملSIR epidemics in dynamic contact networks
Contact patterns in populations fundamentally influence the spread of infectious diseases. Current mathematical methods for epidemiological forecasting on networks largely assume that contacts between individuals are fixed, at least for the duration of an outbreak. In reality, contact patterns may be quite fluid, with individuals frequently making and breaking social or sexual relationships. He...
متن کاملPolynomial epidemics and clustering in contact networks.
It is widely known that the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus was slower than exponential in several populations, even at the very beginning of the epidemic. We show that this implies a significant reduction in the effective reproductive rate of the epidemic, and describe a general mechanism, related to the clustering properties of the disease transmission network, that is capable of e...
متن کاملEstimating Parameters for Stochastic Epidemics
Understanding the spread of infectious disease is an important issue in order to prevent major outbreaks. In this report mathematical modeling is used to gain insight into the dynamics of an epidemic. A process model, the SIR model, exploiting knowledge about population dynamics serves as framework. Key interest is in adapting the stochastic model to observed data – especially from animal produ...
