A full software stack for epidemic disease management: Unlocking the joint potential of software technology and supercomputing
Jonas Gilg, Johann Fredrik Jadebeck, Mariama Jaiteh +22
Infectious diseases remain a major threat to human societies. During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, mathematical modeling and extensive computer simulations proved highly effective…
MEmilio -- A high performance Modular EpideMIcs simuLatIOn software for multi-scale and comparative simulations of infectious disease dynamics
Julia Bicker, Carlotta Gerstein, David Kerkmann +33
Epidemic and pandemic preparedness with rapid outbreak response rely on timely, trustworthy evidence. Mathematical models are crucial for supporting timely and reliable evidence ge…
A nonstandard numerical scheme for a novel SECIR integro-differential equation-based model allowing nonexponentially distributed stay times
Anna Wendler, Lena Plötzke, Hannah Tritzschak +1
Ordinary differential equations (ODE) are a popular tool to model the spread of infectious diseases, yet they implicitly assume an exponential distribution to describe the flow fro…
Revisiting the Linear Chain Trick in epidemiological models: Implications of underlying assumptions for numerical solutions
Lena Plötzke, Anna Wendler, René Schmieding +1
In order to simulate the spread of infectious diseases, many epidemiological models use systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to describe the underlying dynamics. These…
