Markov‐Associated Quadratic Stochastic Families and the Susceptible‐Infected‐Recovered (SIR) Model
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We introduce a Markov‐associated construction for quadratic stochastic families generated by a symmetric cubic stochastic matrix and a finite‐state homogeneous Markov semigroup. The constructed family is not assumed to be a classical quadratic stochastic process of type (A)$$ (A) $$ or type (B)$$ (B) $$; rather, it is a Markov‐associated ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.
