Modeling the Impact of Immune Boosting on Population-Level Vaccine Effectiveness
Nir Gavish, Guy Katriel, Zohar Rom-Ramon
We extend the standard susceptible-infected-recovered framework to incorporate natural immune boosting during a short-scale outbreak. By deriving closed-form final size relations,…
Optimal regulation in a periodic environment: insights from a simple model
Nir Gavish, Guy Katriel
We perform a detailed study of a simple mathematical model addressing the problem of optimally regulating a process subject to periodic external forcing, which is interesting both…
Optimizing antimicrobial treatment schedules: some fundamental analytical results
Guy Katriel
This work studies fundamental questions regarding the optimal design of antimicrobial treatment protocols, using standard pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic mathematical models. W…
Optimal vaccination at high reproductive numbers: sharp transitions and counter-intuitive allocations
Nir Gavish, Guy Katriel
Optimization of vaccine allocations among different segments of a heterogeneous population is important for enhancing the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns in reducing the bur…
Dispersal-induced growth in a time-periodic environment
Guy Katriel
Dispersal-induced growth (DIG) occurs when two populations with time-varying growth rates, each of which, when isolated, would become extinct, are able to persist and grow exponent…
Optimality of constant inflow for a linear system with a bottleneck entrance
Guy Katriel
Sadeghi et al. considered a bottleneck system with periodic inflow rate, and proved that a constant-rate input maximizes the time-averaged output rate among all periodic inflow rat…
