Staggered Release Policies for COVID-19 Control: Costs and Benefits of Sequentially Relaxing Restrictions by Age
Henry Zhao, Zhilan Feng, Carlos Castillo-Chavez +1
Strong social distancing restrictions have been crucial to controlling the COVID-19 outbreak thus far, and the next question is when and how to relax these restrictions. A sequenti…
A Partial Differential Equation Model with Age-Structure and Nonlinear Recidivism: Conditions for a Backward Bifurcation and a General Numerical Implementation
Fabio Sanchez, Juan G. Calvo, Esteban Segura +1
\noindent We formulate an age-structured three-staged nonlinear partial differential equation model that features {\it nonlinear} recidivism to the infected ({\it infectious}) clas…
Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPT): Its role in averting disease-induced mortalities in children and in promoting the spread of antimalarial drug resistance
Carrie A. Manore, Miranda I. Teboh-Ewungkem, Olivia Prosper +3
We develop a variable population age-structured ODE model to investigate the role of Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPT) in averting malaria-induced mortalities in children, as…
Bifurcation analysis and global dynamics of a mathematical model of antibiotic resistance in hospitals
Xiuli Cen, Zhilan Feng, Yiqiang Zheng +1
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria has posed a grave threat to public health by causing a number of nosocomial infections in hospitals. Mathematical models have been used to study the t…
Short-term heterologous immunity after severe influenza A outbreaks
Sherry Towers, Zhilan Feng, Nathaniel Hupert
Conventional wisdom holds that influenza A and B are such genetically dissimilar viruses that infection with one cannot confer cross-immunity to the other. However, our examination…
Spaces with a Finite Family of Basic Functions
Paul Gartside, Feng Ziqin
A space X is finite dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable if and only if X has a finite basic family: continuous functions Phi_1,...,Phi_n of X to the reals, R, suc…
