Disassortative mixing of boundedly-rational players in socio-ecological systems
Prasan Ratnayake, Dharshana Kasthurirathna, Mahendra Piraveenan
Bounded rationality refers to the non-optimal rationality of players in non-cooperative games. In a networked game, the bounded rationality of players may be heterogeneous and spat…
Optimal governance and implementation of vaccination programmes to contain the COVID-19 pandemic
Mahendra Piraveenan, Shailendra Sawleshwarkar, Michael Walsh +11
Since the recent introduction of several viable vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, vaccination uptake has become the key factor that will determine our success in containing the COVID-19 pan…
Impact of network assortativity on epidemic and vaccination behaviour
Sheryl L. Chang, Mahendra Piraveenan, Mikhail Prokopenko
The resurgence of measles is largely attributed to the decline in vaccine adoption and the increase in mobility. Although the vaccine for measles is readily available and highly su…
The effects of imitation dynamics on vaccination behaviours in SIR-network model
Sheryl L. Chang, Mahendra Piraveenan, Mikhail Prokopenko
We present a series of SIR-network models, extended with a game-theoretic treatment of imitation dynamics which result from regular population mobility across residential and work…
Game theoretic modelling of infectious disease dynamics and intervention methods: a mini-review
Sheryl L. Chang, Mahendra Piraveenan, Philippa Pattison +1
We review research papers which use game theory to model the decision making of individuals during an epidemic, attempting to classify the literature and identify the emerging tren…
Urbanization affects peak timing, prevalence, and bimodality of influenza pandemics in Australia: results of a census-calibrated model
Cameron Zachreson, Kristopher M. Fair, Oliver M. Cliff +3
We examine salient trends of influenza pandemics in Australia, a rapidly urbanizing nation. To do so, we implement state-of-the-art influenza transmission and progression models wi…
