A refractory density approach to a multi-scale SEIRS epidemic model
We propose a novel multi-scale modeling framework for infectious disease spreading, borrowing ideas and modeling tools from the so-called Refractory Density (RD) approach. We introduce a microscopic model that describes the probability of infection for a single individual and the evolution of the disease within their body. From the individual-level description, we then present the corresponding population-level model of epidemic spreading on the mesoscopic and macroscopic scale. We conclude with numerical illustrations taking into account either a white Gaussian noise or an escape noise to showcase the potential of our approach in producing both transient and asymptotic complex dynamics as well as finite-size fluctuations consistently across multiple scales. A comparison with the epidemiology of coronaviruses is also given to corroborate the qualitative relevance of our new approach.

SEIRS epidemics in growing populations
An SEIRS epidemic with disease fatalities is introduced in a growing population (modelled as a super-critical linear birth and death process). The study of the initial phase of the epidemic is stochastic, while the analy…
A Koopman-PINN Framework for Epidemic Models: Parameter Inference and Forecasting
We propose a Koopman-enhanced physics-informed neural network (K--PINN) framework for parameter inference and forecasting in nonlinear epidemic models. This method combines Koopman operator theory and physics-informed le…
Adjoint Method for Macroscopic Phase-Resetting Curves of Generic Spiking Neural Networks
Brain rhythms emerge as a result of synchronization among interconnected spiking neurons. Key properties of such rhythms can be gleaned from the phase-resetting curve (PRC). Inferring the macroscopic PRC and developing a…
A stochastic geospatial epidemic model and simulation using an event modulated Gillespie algorithm
We developed a model and a software package for stochastic simulations of transmission of COVID-19 and other similar infectious diseases, that takes into account contact network structures and geographical distribution o…
Model OptimizationA comparative stochastic and deterministic study of a class of epidemic dynamic models for malaria: exploring the impacts of noise on eradication and persistence of disease
A comparative stochastic and deterministic study of a family of SEIRS epidemic dynamic models for malaria is presented. The family type is determined by the qualitative behavior of the nonlinear incidence rates of the di…
