Discrete-time Layered-network Epidemics Model with Time-varying Transition Rates and Multiple Resources
This paper studies a discrete-time time-varying multi-layer networked SIWS (susceptible-infected-water-susceptible) model with multiple resources under both single-virus and competing multi-virus settings. Besides the human-to-human interaction, we also consider that the disease can diffuse on different types of medium. We use \emph{resources} to refer to any media that the pathogen of a virus can spread through, and do not restrict the resource only to be water. In the single-virus case, we give a full analysis of the system's behaviour related to its healthy state and endemic equilibrium. In the multi-virus case, we show analytically that different equilibria appear driven by the competition among all viruses. We also show that some analytical results of the time-invariant system can be expanded into time-varying cases. Finally, we illustrate the results through some simulations.

Estimation and Distributed Eradication of SIR Epidemics on Networks
This work examines the discrete-time networked SIR (susceptible-infected-recovered) epidemic model, where the infection and recovery parameters may be time-varying. We provide a sufficient condition for the SIR model to …
A Contract Theory for Layered Control Architectures
Autonomous systems typically leverage layered control architectures with a combination of discrete and continuous models operating at different timescales. As a result, layered systems form a new class of hybrid systems …

Poverty levels, societal and individual heterogeneities explain the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic growth in Latin America
Latin America is experiencing severe impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, but poverty and weak public health institutions hamper gathering the kind of refined data needed to inform classical SEIR models of epidemics. We p…
