Multi‐compartment models have been playing a central role in modelling infectious disease
dynamics since the early 20th century. They are a class of mathematical models widely used …

A high school student can create deep Q-learning code to control her robot, without any
understanding of the meaning of'deep'or'Q', or why the code sometimes fails. This book is …

With nearly every country combating the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), there is a
need to understand how local environmental conditions may modify transmission. To date …

In many fields, such as environmental risk assessment, agronomic system behavior,
aerospace engineering, and nuclear safety, mathematical models turned into computer code …

An extension of the classical pandemic SIRD model is considered for the regional spread of
COVID-19 in France under lockdown strategies. This compartment model divides the …

In this paper, the uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis of a mathematical model
of the SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission dynamics with mass vaccination strategy has been …

An extended SIR model, including several features of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, is
considered: the infected and recovered individuals can either be detected or undetected and …

Efficient assessment of epidemic phenomena has an important role in modern
epidemiology, while many novel methods propose reliable estimates for epidemic evolution …

Raw data on the number of deaths at a country level generally indicate a spatially variable
distribution of COVID-19 incidence. An important issue is whether this pattern is a …

When an epidemic spreads into a population, it is often impractical or impossible to
continuously monitor all subjects involved. As an alternative, we propose using algorithmic …
