Collective action through adaptive awareness
Afolabi Ariwayo, Bryce Morsky, Malbor Asllani
Collective actions emerge through the interplay between social influence and awareness. We introduce a nonlinear opinion-dynamics framework on networks in which social influence, s…
Synchronized disease and behavioural dynamics in weakly coupled populations
Xinxuan Wang, Youngmin Park, Bryce Morsky
The spread of infectious disease is strongly influenced by social dynamics. In addition to infection risk, individuals vaccination decisions depend on prevailing social behavior: h…
Strategies for tumor elimination and control under immune evasion and chemotherapy resistance
Nazanin Mokari, Bryce Morsky
The evolutionary and ecological dynamics of tumors under immune responses and therapeutic interventions pose major challenges to long-term treatment success. Although treatment may…
Dynamics of voting strategies and public good funding
Jonathan Engle, Bryce Morsky
We model an electorate voting on the funding of a public good in a two-party system in an evolutionary game theory framework. Voters adopt one of four strategies: Consensus-makers,…
Phage-antibiotic therapy under density dependent bacterial defenses
Rohan Shirur, Bryce Morsky
Phage therapy is an alternative treatment method for bacterial infections. It has shown particular promise in reducing bacterial load while preventing antibiotic resistance. Here,…
Worst-case control via linear programming: applications to truncation selection and partially malicious players
Zhuoer Zhang, Bryce Morsky
The connection between game theory, convex optimization, and geometry is deep. There are many applications of linear programming methods and polyhedral representation conversion me…
