Thermally activated switching in the presence of non-Gaussian noise
Lora Billings, Mark I. Dykman, Ira B. Schwartz
We study the effect of a non-Gaussian noise on interstate switching activated primarily by Gaussian noise. Even weak non-Gaussian noise can strongly change the switching rate. The…
Using dimension reduction to improve outbreak predictability of multistrain diseases
Leah B. Shaw, Lora Billings, Ira B. Schwartz
Multistrain diseases have multiple distinct coexisting serotypes (strains). For some diseases, such as dengue fever, the serotypes interact by antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE),…
Dynamical epidemic suppression using stochastic prediction and control
I. B. Schwartz, L. Billings, E. M. Bollt
We consider the effects of noise on a model of epidemic outbreaks, where the outbreaks appear. randomly. Using a constructive transition approach that predicts large outbreaks, pri…
Chaotic desynchronization of multi-strain diseases
Ira B. Schwartz, Leah B. Shaw, Derek A. T. Cummings +3
Multi-strain diseases are diseases that consist of several strains, or serotypes. The serotypes may interact by antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), in which infection with a sing…
