A Note on the Convergence of the Homotopy Analysis Method for Nonlinear Age-Structured Population Models
In this paper, a theorem is proved which presents the series solution obtained from the homotopy analysis method is convergent to the exact solution of nonlinear age-structured population models.
متن کاملPhylodynamic Inference for Structured Epidemiological Models
Coalescent theory is routinely used to estimate past population dynamics and demographic parameters from genealogies. While early work in coalescent theory only considered simple demographic models, advances in theory have allowed for increasingly complex demographic scenarios to be considered. The success of this approach has lead to coalescent-based inference methods being applied to populati...
متن کاملSolution Methods for Age-Structured Optimal Control Models with Feedback
Modeling the dynamics of infectious diseases, illicit drug initiation, or other systems, where the age of an individual or the duration of being in a specific state is essential, leads to a generalized form of the McKendrick equations, i.e., a system of first-order partial differential equations in the time-age space. Typically such models include agespecific feedback components which are repre...
متن کاملOptimal timing of disease transmission in an age-structured population.
It is a common medical folk-practice for parents to encourage their children to contract certain infectious diseases while they are young. This folk-practice is controversial, in part, because it contradicts the long-term public health goal of minimizing disease incidence. We study an epidemiological model of infectious disease in an age-structured population where virulence is age-dependent an...
متن کاملTuberculosis in Cape Town: An age-structured transmission model.
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death in South Africa. The burden of disease varies by age, with peaks in TB notification rates in the HIV-negative population at ages 0-5, 20-24, and 45-49 years. There is little variation between age groups in the rates in the HIV-positive population. The drivers of this age pattern remain unknown. METHODS We developed an age-structured s...
