Stochastic two-patch epidemic model with nonlinear recidivism
We develop a stochastic two-patch epidemic model with nonlinear recidivism to investigate infectious disease dynamics in heterogeneous populations. Extending a deterministic framework, we introduce stochasticity to account for random transmission, recovery, and inter-patch movement fluctuations. We showcase the interplay between local dynamics and migration effects on disease persistence using Monte Carlo simulations and three stochastic approximations-discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC), Poisson, and stochastic differential equations (SDE). Our analysis shows that stochastic effects can cause extinction events and oscillations near critical thresholds like the basic reproduction number, R0, phenomena absent in deterministic models. Numerical simulations highlight source-sink dynamics, where one patch is a persistent infection source while the other experiences intermittent outbreaks.

Impact of density-dependent migration flows on epidemic outbreaks in heterogeneous metapopulations
We investigate the role of migration patterns on the spread of epidemics in complex networks. We enhance the SIS-diffusion model on metapopulations to a nonlinear diffusion. Specifically, individuals move randomly over t…
Estimating Unobservable States in Stochastic Epidemic Models with Partial Information
This article investigates stochastic epidemic models with partial information and addresses the estimation of current values of not directly observable states. The latter is also called nowcasting and related to the so-c…
Applied Probability Insights into Nonlinear Epidemic Dynamics with Independent Jumps
This paper focuses on the analysis of a stochastic SAIRS-type epidemic model that explicitly incorporates the roles of asymptomatic and symptomatic infectious individuals in disease transmission dynamics. Asymptomatic ca…
MPSTAN: Metapopulation-based Spatio-Temporal Attention Network for Epidemic Forecasting
Accurate epidemic forecasting plays a vital role for governments in developing effective prevention measures for suppressing epidemics. Most of the present spatio-temporal models cannot provide a general framework for st…
SIS and SIR epidemic models under virtual dispersal
In this paper, we develop a multi-group epidemic framework via virtual dispersal where the risk of infection is a function of the residence time and local environmental risk. This novel approach eliminates the need to de…
