Convex Optimization of the Basic Reproduction Number

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2022
The basic reproduction number $R_0$ is a fundamental quantity in epidemiological modeling, reflecting the typical number of secondary infections that arise from a single infected individual. While $R_0$ is widely known to scientists, policymakers, and the general public, it has received comparatively little attention in the controls community.

The basic reproduction number for scrapie [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999
The basic reproduction number R0 provides a quantitative assessment of the ability of an infectious agent to invade a susceptible host population. A mathematical expression for R0 is derived based on a recently developed model for the spread of scrapie through a flock of sheep.

Cost effective reproduction number based strategies for reducing deaths from COVID-19

Journal of Mathematics in Industry, 2021
In epidemiology, the effective reproduction number R e $R_{e}$ is used to characterize the growth rate of an epidemic outbreak. If R e > 1 $R_{e} >1$ , the epidemic worsens, and if R e < 1 $R_{e}< 1$ , then it subsides and eventually dies out.

Reviewing the Reproduction Number R in Covid-19 Models

Philosophy of Medicine, 2022
Most of the epidemiological models of the Covid-19 pandemic contain the reproduction number (R) as a parameter. In this article we focus on some shortcomings regarding its role in driving health policies and political decisions.

Population Numbers and Reproductive Health

Endocrinology, 2021
AbstractA recent study published in The Lancet predicts a remarkable drop in population numbers following a peak that will be reached by 2064. A unique feature of the upcoming population drop is that it will be almost exclusively caused by decreased reproduction, rather than factors that increase rates of mortality.

Distributed Reproduction Numbers of Networked Epidemics

2023 American Control Conference (ACC), 2023
Reproduction numbers are widely used for the estimation and prediction of epidemic spreading processes over networks. However, reproduction numbers do not enable estimation and prediction in individual communities within networks, and they can be difficult to compute due to the aggregation of infection data that is required to do so. Therefore, in this
