Infectious Disease Modeling with Interpersonal Contact Patterns as a Heterogeneous Network
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-26)In this thesis, we study deterministic compartmental epidemic models. The conventional mass-mixing assumption is replaced with infectious disease contraction occurring within a heterogeneous network. Modeling infectious ... -
A Study of Infectious Disease Models with Switching
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-20)Infectious disease models with switching are constructed and investigated in detail. Modelling infectious diseases as switched systems, which are systems that combine continuous dynamics with discrete logic, allows for the ... -
Viewing Trends in Graph Connectivity as Early Warnings of Epidemics and Vaccine Crises
