We consider reaction diffusion systems where components diffuse inside the domain and react on the surface through mass transport type boundary conditions. Under reasonable hypotheses, we establish the existence of component wise…
We propose a mathematical model to analyze the effects of anti-infection behavior on the equilibrium states of an infectious disease. The anti-infection behavior is incorporated into a classical epidemiological SIR model, by considering the…
Current modeling of infectious diseases allows for the study of complex and realistic scenarios that go from the population to the individual level of description. However, most epidemic models assume that the spreading process takes place…
The global existence of classical solutions to reaction-diffusion systems in dimensions one and two is proved. The considered systems are assumed to satisfy an {\it entropy inequality} and have nonlinearities with at most cubic growth in 1D…
We study a coupled epidemic-mobility model in which, at each time, individuals move in a network of spatially-distributed regions (sub-populations) according to a Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC) and subsequently interact with the local…
We study the global dynamics of a reaction-diffusion SEIR infection model with distributed delay and nonlinear incidence rate. The well-posedness of the proposed model is proved. By means of Lyapunov functionals, we show that the disease…
This paper deals with the homogeneous Neumann boundary-value problem for the chemotaxis-consumption system \begin{eqnarray*} \begin{array}{llc} u_t=\Delta u-\chi\nabla\cdot (u\nabla v)+\kappa u-\mu u^2,\\ v_t=\Delta v-uv, \end{array}…
A mathematical model for the discrete nonlinear fragmentation (collision-induced breakage) equation with diffusion is studied. The existence of global weak solutions is established in arbitrary spatial dimensions without assuming a strictly…
Two simple agent based models are often employed in epidemic studies: the susceptible-infected (SI) and the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS). Both models describe the time evolution of infectious diseases in networks in which vertices…
How individual dispersal patterns and human intervention behaviours affect the spread of infectious diseases constitutes a central problem in epidemiological research. This paper develops an impulsive nonlocal faecal-oral model with free…
This article is devoted to the analysis of a particle system model for epidemics among a finite population with susceptible, infective and removed individuals (SIR). The infection mechanism depends on the relative distance between…
We investigate the SIR epidemic on a dynamic inhomogeneous Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph, in which vertices are of one of $k$ types and in which edges appear and disappear independently of each other. We establish a functional law of large…
In this paper, we analyze dynamic switching networks, wherein the networks switch arbitrarily among a set of topologies. For this class of dynamic networks, we derive an epidemic threshold, considering the SIS epidemic model. First, an…
The epidemic threshold of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) dynamics on random networks having a power law degree distribution with exponent $\gamma>3$ has been investigated using different mean-field approaches, which predict…
This manuscript considers a Neumann initial-boundary value problem for the predator-prey system $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u_t = D_1 u_{xx} - \chi_1 (uv_x)_x + u(\lambda_1-u+a_1 v), \\[1mm] v_t = D_2 v_{xx} + \chi_2 (vu_x)_x +…
The dynamics of the spread of contagions such as viruses, infectious diseases or even rumors/opinions over contact networks (graphs) have effectively been captured by the well known \textit{Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible} ($SIS$) epidemic…
We study a generalization of the classical contact process (SIS epidemic model) in a directed graph $G$. Our model is a continuous-time interacting particle system in which at every time, each vertex is either healthy or infected, and each…
We discuss the criticality in the stochastic SIR model for infectious diseases. We adopt the path-integral formalism for the propagation of infections among susceptible, infectious, and removed individuals, and perform the perturbative and…
In this paper, we further investigate the global dynamics of a stochastic differential equation SIS (Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible) epidemic model recently proposed in [A. Gray et al., SIAM. J. Appl. Math., 71 (2011), 876-902]. We…
