On Keiding's Equation and its relation to differential equations about prevalence and incidence in chronic disease epidemiology
We study the relation between the age-specific prevalence, incidence and mortality in an illness-death model consisting of the three states Healthy, Ill, Dead. The dependency on three different time scales (age, calendar time, disease duration) is considered. It is shown that Keiding's equation published in 1991 is a generalisation of the solution of Brunet and Struchiner's partial differential equation from 1999. In a special case, we propose a particularly simple estimate of the incidence from prevalence data.

Electrical circuits are present in a variety of technologies, making their design an important part of computer aided engineering. The growing number of parameters that affect the final design leads to a need for new app…
Differential Equations as a Model Prior for Deep Learning and its Applications in Robotics
For many decades, much of the scientific knowledge of physics and engineering has been expressed via differential equations. These differential equations describe the underlying phenomena and the relations between differ…
Solving differential equations with unknown constitutive relations as recurrent neural networks
We solve a system of ordinary differential equations with an unknown functional form of a sink (reaction rate) term. We assume that the measurements (time series) of state variables are partially available, and we use re…
