This paper investigates the incompressible limit of a system modelling the growth of two cells population. The model describes the dynamics of cell densities, driven by pressure exclusion and cell proliferation. It has been shown that…
A key parameter in models for the spread of infectious diseases is the basic reproduction number $R_0$, which is the expected number of secondary cases a typical infected primary case infects during its infectious period in a large mostly…
We introduce a model of a randomly growing interface in multidimensional Euclidean space. The growth model incorporates a random order model as an ingredient of its graphical construction, in a way that replicates the connection between the…
We study internal diffusion-limited aggregation with random starting points on Z^d. In this model, each new particle starts from a vertex chosen uniformly at random on the existing aggregate. We prove that the limiting shape of the…
Begin with a set of four points in the real plane in general position. Add to this collection the intersection of all lines through pairs of these points. Iterate. Ismailescu and Radoi\v{c}i\'{c} (2003) showed that the limiting set is dense…
We study a family of binary state, socially-inspired contagion models which incorporate imitation limited by an aversion to complete conformity. We uncover rich behavior in our models whether operating with either probabilistic or…
We introduce and investigate an SIS-type model for the spread of an infectious disease, where the infected population is structured with respect to the different strain of the virus/bacteria they are carrying. Our aim is to capture the…
We introduce a second-order stochastic model to explore the variability in growth of biological shapes with applications to medical imaging. Our model is a perturbation with a random force of the Hamiltonian formulation of the geodesics.…
This paper proposes a model for the growth two interacting populations of cells that do not mix. The dynamics is driven by pressure and cohesion forces on the one hand and proliferation on the other hand. Following earlier works on the…
In the growth of bacterial colonies, a great variety of complex patterns are observed in experiments, depending on external conditions and the bacterial species. Typically, existing models employ systems of reaction-diffusion equations or…
We study a simple case of the susceptible-weakened-infected-removed model in regular random graphs in a situation where an epidemic starts from a finite fraction of initially infected nodes (seeds). Previous studies have shown that,…
We study coexistence in discrete time multi-type frog models. We first show that for two types of particles on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, for $d\geq2$, for any jumping parameters $p_1, p_2 \in (0,1)$, coexistence occurs with positive probability for…
We study two famous interacting particle systems, the so-called Richardson's model and the contact process, when we add a stirring dynamics to them. We prove that they both satisfy an asymptotic shape theorem, as their analogues without…
We have developed a mathematical model for in-host virus dynamics that includes spatial chemotaxis and diffusion across a two dimensional surface representing the vaginal or rectal epithelium at primary HIV infection. A linear stability…
We consider first-passage percolation with i.i.d. non-negative weights coming from some continuous distribution under a moment condition. We review recent results in the study of geodesics in first-passage percolation and study their…
We present a stochastic model for two successive SIR (Susceptible, Infectious, Recovered) epidemics in the same network structured population. Individuals infected during the first epidemic might have (partial) immunity for the second one.…
We study an initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for a coupled Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw system that models tumor growth. For large initial data with finite energy, we prove global (local resp.) existence, uniqueness, higher order spatial…
The lilypond model on a point process in $d$-space is a growth-maximal system of non-overlapping balls centred at the points. We establish central limit theorems for the total volume and the number of components of the lilypond model on a…
We show that spatial patterns ("hotspots") may form in the crime model \begin{equation} \left\{\; \begin{aligned} u_{t} &= \tfrac{1}{\varepsilon}\Delta u - \tfrac{\chi}{\varepsilon} \nabla \cdot \left(\tfrac{u}{v} \nabla v \right) -…
Taking inspiration from [1, 21, 24], we develop a general framework to deal with the model theory of open incidence structures. In this first paper we focus on the study of systems of points and lines (rank $2$). This has a number of…
