A vector logistic dynamical approach to epidemic evolution on interacting social-contact and production-capacity graphs
Jan B. Broekaert, Davide La Torre
Population inhomogeneity, in the variation of the individual social contact networks and the individual infectious-recovery rates, renders the dynamics of infectious disease spread…
Optimization of Structural Similarity in Mathematical Imaging
D. Otero, D. La Torre, O. Michailovich +1
It is now generally accepted that Euclidean-based metrics may not always adequately represent the subjective judgement of a human observer. As a result, many image processing metho…
A Multicriteria Macroeconomic Model with Intertemporal Equity and Spatial Spillovers
Herb Kunze, Davide La Torre, Simone Marsiglio
We analyze a macroeconomic model with intergenerational equity considerations and spatial spillovers, which gives rise to a multicriteria optimization problem. Intergenerational eq…
Solving Inverse Problems for Steady-State Equations using A Multiple Criteria Model with Collage Distance, Entropy, and Sparsity
Herb Kunze, Davide La Torre
In this paper, we extend the previous method for solving inverse problems for steady-state equations using the Generalized Collage Theorem by searching for an approximation that no…
Optimal Control of Prevention and Treatment in a Basic Macroeconomic-Epidemiological Model
Davide La Torre, Tufail Malik, Simone Marsiglio
We analyze the optimal control of disease prevention and treatment in a basic SIS model. We develop a simple macroeconomic setup in which the social planner determines how to optim…
Using the Generalized Collage Theorem for Estimating Unknown Parameters in Perturbed Mixed Variational Equations
A. I. Garralda-Guillem, H. Kunze, D. La Torre +1
In this paper, we study a mixed variational problem subject to perturbations, where the noise term is modelled by means of a bilinear form that has to be understood to be "small" i…
