Kinetic compartmental models driven by opinion dynamics: vaccine hesitancy and social influence

A Bondesan, G Toscani, M Zanella - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.19601, 2023 - arxiv.org
We propose a kinetic model for understanding the link between opinion formation
phenomena and epidemic dynamics. The recent pandemic has brought to light that vaccine …

Uncertainty quantification for ecological models with random parameters

JR Reimer, FR Adler, KM Golden, A Narayan - Ecology Letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
There is often considerable uncertainty in parameters in ecological models. This uncertainty
can be incorporated into models by treating parameters as random variables with …

An SIR model with viral load-dependent transmission

R Della Marca, N Loy, A Tosin - Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2023 - Springer
The viral load is known to be a chief predictor of the risk of transmission of infectious
diseases. In this work, we investigate the role of the individuals' viral load in the disease …
