Fractal and Fractional SIS model for syphilis data [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This work studies the SIS model extended by fractional and fractal derivatives. We obtain explicit solutions for the standard and fractal formulations; for the fractional case, we study numerical solutions. As a real data example, we consider the Brazilian syphilis data from 2011 to 2021. We fit the data by considering the three variations of the model.

A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity [PDF]

Journal of theoretical biology, 285(1), 103-112 (2011), 2017
Consanguinity or inter-cousin marriage is a phenomenon quite prevalent in certain regions around the globe. Consanguineous parents have a higher risk of having offspring with congenital disorders. It is difficult to model large scale consanguineous parental populations because of disparate cultural issues unique to regions and cultures across the globe.
