Gamma-convergence results for phase-field approximations of the 2D-Euler Elastica Functional

Luca Mugnai (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We establish some new results about the Γ-limit, with respect to the L1-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations { } , { ˜ } ℰ ε ε ,   x10ff65; ℰ ε ε of the so-called Euler’s Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane. In particular we characterize theΓ-limit as ε → 0 of ℰε, and show that in general the Γ-limits of ℰεand ˜ x10ff65; ℰ ε do not coincide on indicator functions of sets with non-smooth boundary. More precisely we show that the domain of theΓ-limit of ˜ x10ff65;...

Generalization of the Kermack-McKendrick SIR Model to a Patchy Environment for a Disease with Latency

J. Li, X. Zou (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this paper, with the assumptions that an infectious disease has a fixed latent period in a population and the latent individuals of the population may disperse, we reformulate an SIR model for the population living in two patches (cities, towns, or countries etc.), which is a generalization of the classic Kermack-McKendrick SIR model. The model is given by a system of delay differential equations with a fixed delay accounting for the latency and non-local terms caused by the mobility of the...

Global dynamics of a delay differential system of a two-patch SIS-model with transport-related infections

Yukihiko Nakata, Gergely Röst (2015)

Mathematica Bohemica

We describe the global dynamics of a disease transmission model between two regions which are connected via bidirectional or unidirectional transportation, where infection occurs during the travel as well as within the regions. We define the regional reproduction numbers and the basic reproduction number by constructing a next generation matrix. If the two regions are connected via bidirectional transportation, the basic reproduction number R 0 characterizes the existence of equilibria as well as...
