Kinetic formulation of compartmental epidemic models
Carolina Strecht-Fernandes, Fabio A. C. C. Chalub
We introduce a kinetic model that couples the movement of a population of individuals with the dynamics of a pathogen in the same population. We consider that transmission occurs w…
Dynamical compatibility for finite and infinite population models used in genetics
Fabio A. C. C. Chalub, Max O. Souza
Finite and infinite population models are frequently used in population dynamics. However, their interrelationship is rarely discussed. In this work, we examine the limits of large…
Group centrality in optimal and suboptimal vaccination for epidemic models in contact networks
J. Orestes Cerdeira, Fabio A. C. C. Chalub, Matheus Hansen
The pursuit of strategies that minimize the number of individuals needing vaccination to control an outbreak is a well-established area of study in mathematical epidemiology. Howev…
Insuperable strategies in two-player and reducible multi-player games
Fabio A. C. C. Chalub, Max O. Souza
Real populations are seldom found at the Nash equilibrium strategy. The present work focuses on how population size can be a relevant evolutionary force diverting the population fr…
