Failure of monotonicity in epidemic models
We discuss the failure of monotonicity properties for even simple compartmental epidemic models, for the case where transmission rates are non-constant. We also identify a special case in which monotonicity holds.

Monotonicity Failure in Ranked Choice Voting -- Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for 3-Candidate Elections
Ranked choice voting is vulnerable to monotonicity failure - a voting failure where a candidate is cost an election due to losing voter preference or granted an election due to gaining voter preference. Despite increasin…
An Evaluation of Borda Count Variations Using Ranked Choice Voting Data
The standard voting methods in the United States, plurality and ranked choice (or instant runoff) voting, are susceptible to significant voting failures. These flaws include Condorcet and majority failures as well as mon…
Dangerous Liaisons of Convex Learning and Non-Affine Aggregation
Last-iterate convergence and generalization guarantees in first-order convex learning hinge on the monotonicity of the update operator. While linear averaging preserves the monotonicity of gradient updates, this property…
SL-BiLEM: Structured Learnable Behavior-in-the-Loop Epidemic Modeling for Forecasting and Policy Evaluation
Epidemic forecasting faces a fundamental challenge: human behavior dynamically responds to disease spread, creating feedback loops that induce distribution shifts at policy intervention points. This renders data-driven m…
