Behavior-induced oscillations in epidemic outbreaks with distributed memory: beyond the linear chain trick using numerical methods
Alessia andò, Simone De Reggi, Francesca Scarabel +2
We considered a model for an infectious disease outbreak, when the depletion of susceptible individuals is negligible, and assumed that individuals adapt their behavior according t…
New functionalities in MatCont: delay equations and Lyapunov exponents
Davide Liessi, Enrico Santi, Rossana Vermiglio +3
MatCont is a powerful toolbox for numerical bifurcation analysis focussing on smooth ODEs. A user can study equilibria, periodic and connecting orbits, and their stability and bifu…
Size-Structured Population Dynamics
Odo Diekmann, Francesca Scarabel
This chapter focuses on variable maturation delay or, more precisely, on the mathematical description of a size-structured population consuming an unstructured resource. When the r…
Age-Structured Population Dynamics
Odo Diekmann, Francesca Scarabel
This chapter reviews some aspects of the theory of age-structured models of populations with finite maximum age. We formulate both the renewal equation for the birth rate and the p…
