A continuum growth model is introduced. The state at time $t$, $S_t$, is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and consists of a connected union of randomly sized Euclidean balls, which emerge from outbursts at their center points. An outburst occurs…

A simplified method to compute $R_t$, the Effective Reproduction Number, is presented. The method relates the value of $R_t$ to the estimation of the doubling time performed with a local exponential fit. The condition $R_t = 1$ corresponds…

The system of equations for parametric sub-resonant growth of the amplitude of oscillations was obtained. The time of turning point from the growing of the amplitude to the bounded oscillations in the slow variable was found. The comparison…
