This paper proposes a non-integer order model to describe the dynamics of CoViD-19 in a standard population, incorporating reinfection rates in recovered individuals. Numerical simulations are performed to study the impact of different values of fractional derivatives and reinfections rates on the disease dynamics, with results discussed from a biological perspective.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (CoViD-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Among many symptoms, cough, fever and tiredness are the most common. People over 60 years old and with associated comorbidities are most likely to develop a worsening health condition. This paper proposes a non-integer order model to describe the dynamics of CoViD-19 in a standard population. The model incorporates the reinfection rate in the individuals recovered from the disease. Numerical simulations are performed for different values of the order of the fractional derivative and of reinfection rate. The results are discussed from a biological point of view.

Strange attractors in a dynamical system inspired by a seasonally forced SIR model

Joao P. S. Mauricio de Carvalho, Alexandre A. Rodrigues

Summary: This study analyzed a multiparameter periodically-forced dynamical system inspired by the SIR endemic model, and found that R-0 < 1 is not sufficient to eliminate infectious individuals. The study also proposed a new attractor theory approach.

SIR Model with Vaccination: Bifurcation Analysis

Joao P. S. Mauricio de Carvalho, Alexandre A. A. Rodrigues

Summary: This article examines bifurcations of an SIR model where the susceptible population grows logistically and is subject to constant vaccination. The authors explicitly prove that the endemic equilibrium is a codimension two singularity in the parameter space, and demonstrate various bifurcation curves unfolding the singularity. The study provides useful insights on the proportion of vaccinated individuals required to eliminate the disease and the impact of vaccination on the epidemic outcome.

Stochastic optimal control and piecewise parameterization and optimization method for inventory control system improvement

Bo Li, Tian Huang

Summary: This paper proposes an approximate optimal strategy based on a piecewise parameterization and optimization (PPAO) method for solving optimization problems in stochastic control systems. The method obtains a piecewise parameter control by solving first-order differential equations, which simplifies the control form and ensures a small model error.

Consensus formation among mobile agents in networks of heterogeneous interaction venues

Guram Mikaberidze, Sayantan Nag Chowdhury, Alan Hastings, Raissa M. D'Souza

Summary: This study explores the collective behavior of interacting entities, focusing on the co-evolution of diverse mobile agents in a heterogeneous environment network. Increasing agent density, introducing heterogeneity, and designing the network structure intelligently can promote agent cohesion.

Development of a contact force model with a fluid damping factor for immersed collision events

Gengxiang Wang, Yang Liu, Caishan Liu

Summary: This investigation studies the impact behavior of a contact body in a fluidic environment. A dissipated coefficient is introduced to describe the energy dissipation caused by hydrodynamic forces. A new fluid damping factor is derived to depict the coupling between liquid and solid, as well as the coupling between solid and solid. A new coefficient of restitution (CoR) is proposed to determine the actual physical impact. A new contact force model with a fluid damping factor tailored for immersed collision events is proposed.
