Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of an Epidemic Model with Quarantine, Latent and Media Coverage

Epidemic models are very important in today''s analysis of diseases. In this paper, we propose and analyze an epidemic model incorporating quarantine, latent, media coverage and time delay. We analyze the local stability of either the disease-free and endemic equilibrium in terms of the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ as a threshold parameter. We prove that if $\mathcal{R}_{0}<1,$ the time delay in media coverage can not affect the stability of the disease-free equilibrium and if $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$, the model has at least one positive endemic equilibrium, the stability will be affected by the time delay and some conditions for Hopf bifurcation around infected equilibrium to occur are obtained by using the time delay as a bifurcation parameter. We illustrate our results by some numerical simulations such that we show that a proper application of quarantine plays a critical role in the clearance of the disease, and therefore a direct contact between people plays a critical role in the transmission of the disease.     

Dynamics of a Deterministic and Stochastic Susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered Epidemic Model

We investigate a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) epidemic model with asymptomatic infective individuals. First, we formulate a deterministic model, and give the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$. We show that the disease is persistent, if $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$, and it is extinct, if $\mathcal{R}_{0}<1$. Then, we formulate a stochastic version of the deterministic model. By constructing suitable stochastic Lyapunov functions, we establish sufficient criteria for the extinction and the existence of ergodic stationary distribution to the model. As a case, we study the COVID-19 transmission in Wuhan, China, and perform some sensitivity analysis. Our numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the analytic results.     

Boundedness of High Order Commutators of Riesz Transforms Associated with Schrödinger Type Operators

Let L_2=(-?)~2+ V~2 be the Schr?dinger type operator, where V■0 is a nonnegative potential and belongs to the reverse H?lder class RH_(q1) for q_1 n/2, n ≥5. The higher Riesz transform associated with L_2 is denoted by ■and its dual is denoted by ■. In this paper, we consider the m-order commutators [b~m, R] and [b~m, R*], and establish the(L~p, L~q)-boundedness of these commutators when b belongs to the new Campanato space Λ_β~θ(ρ) and 1/q = 1/p-mβ/n.

Dynamic behavior of a delay cholera model with constant infectious period

In this paper, a delay cholera model with constant infectious period is investigated. By analyzing the characteristic equations, the local stability of a disease-free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium of the model is established. It is proved that if the basic reproductive number $\mathcal{R}_0>1$, the system is permanent. If $\mathcal{R}_0<1$, by means of an iteration technique, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium. If $\mathcal{R}_0>1$, also by means of an iteration technique, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main theoretical results.     

Boundedness of the Cesàro Operator in Hardy Spaces

The Ces\aro operator $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha}$ is defined by \begin{equation*} (\mathcal{C}_{\alpha}f)(x) = \int_{0}^{1}t^{-1}f\left( t^{-1}x \right)\alpha (1-t)^{\alpha -1}\,dt~, \end{equation*} where $f$ denotes a function on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha}$, $\alpha >0$, is a bounded operator in the Hardy space $H^{p}$ for every $0 < p \leqq 1$.

Rice and Rice‐Shapiro Theorems for transfinite correction grammars

Hay and, then, Johnson extended the classic Rice and Rice‐Shapiro Theorems for computably enumerable sets, to analogs for all the higher levels in the finite Ershov Hierarchy. The present paper extends their work (with some motivations presented) to analogs in the transfinite Ershov Hierarchy. Some of the transfinite cases are done for all transfinite notations in Kleene's important system of notations, $\mathcal {O}$. Other cases are done for all transfinite notations in a very natural, proper subsystem $\mathcal {O}_{\mathrm{Cantor}}$ of $\mathcal {O}$, where $\mathcal {O}_{\mathrm{Cantor}}$ has at least one notation for each constructive ordinal. In these latter cases it is open as to what happens for the entire set of transfinite notations in $(\mathcal {O} -\mathcal {O}_{\mathrm{Cantor}})$.

Assessing the impact of the environmental contamination on the transmission of Ebola virus disease (EVD)

This paper deals with the following biological question: how influential is the environmental contamination on the transmission of EVD? Based on the works in (Bibby et al., Environ Sci Technol Lett 2:2–6, 2015; Leroy et al., Nature 438: 575–576, 2005; World Health Organization. Unprecedented number of medical staff infected with Ebola), we design a new mathematical model to address this question by assessing the effect of the Ebola virus contaminated environment on the dynamical transmission of EVD. The formulated model captures two infection pathways through both direct human-to-human transmission and indirect human-to-environment-to-human transmission by incorporating the environment as a transition and/or reservoir of Ebola viruses. We compute the basic reproduction number \({\mathcal {R}}^{env}_0\) for the model with environmental contamination and prove that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable (GAS) whenever \({\mathcal {R}}^{env}_0 \le 1\). When \({\mathcal {R}}^{env}_0 > 1\), we show that the said model has a unique endemic equilibrium which is GAS. Similar results hold for the free environmental contamination sub-model (without the incorporation of the indirect transmission). More precisely, for the latter model, calculate the corresponding basic reproduction number \({\mathcal {R}}^{h}_0\) and establish the GAS of the disease-free and endemic equilibria, whenever \({\mathcal {R}}^{h}_0 \le 1\) and \({\mathcal {R}}^{h}_0 > 1\), respectively. At the endemic level, we show that the number of infected individuals for the full model with the environmental contamination is greater than the corresponding number for the free environmental contamination sub-model. In conjunction with the inequality \({\mathcal {R}}^{h}_0 < {\mathcal {R}}^{env}_0\), our finding suggests a negative answer to the biological question under investigation, i.e. the contaminated environment plays a detrimental role on the transmission dynamics of EVD by increasing the endemic level and/or the severity of the outbreak. Therefore, it is natural to implement a control strategy which aim at reducing the severity of the disease by providing adequate hygienic living conditions, educate populations at risk to follow rigorously those basic hygienic conditions as well as ask them avoid contact with suspected contaminated objects. Further, we perform numerical simulations to support the theory.     

Regularity in Capacity and the Dirichlet Laplacian

Given an open set in , we prove that every function in is zero everywhere on the boundary if and only if is regular in capacity. If in addition is bounded, then it is regular in capacity if and only if the mapping from into is injective, where denotes the Perron solution of the Dirichlet problem. Let be the set of all open subsets of which are regular in capacity. Then one can define metrics and on only involving the resolvent of the Dirichlet Laplacian. Convergence in those metrics will be defined to be the local/global uniform convergence of the resolvent of the Dirichlet Laplacian applied to the constant function . We prove that the spaces and are complete and contain the set of all open sets which are regular in the sense of Wiener (or Dirichlet regular) as a closed subset.     

Realization of the mapping class group by homeomorphisms

In this paper, we show that the mapping class group of a closed surface can not be geometrically realized as a group of homeomorphisms of that surface. More precisely, let denote the standard projection of the group of homeomorphisms to the mapping class group of a closed surface M of genus g>5. We show that there is no homomorphism , such that is the identity. This answers a question by Thurston (see [11]). Mathematics Subject Classification (2000)  Primary 20H10, 37F30     

Compact and Loeb Hausdorff spaces in \documentclass{article}\usepackage{amssymb}\begin{document}\pagestyle{empty}$\mathsf {ZF}$\end{document} and the axiom of choice for families of finite sets

Given a set X, $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)}$ denotes the statement: “$[X]^{<\omega }\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set” and $\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )$ denotes the family of all closed subsets of the topological space $\mathbf {2}^{X}$ whose definition depends on a finite subset of X. We study the interrelations between the statements $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)},$ $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}([X]^{<\omega })},$ $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin} (F_{n}(X,2))},$ $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(\mathcal {\wp }(X))}$ and “$\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$has a choice set”. We show:

• (i) $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)}$ iff $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}([X]^{<\omega } )}$ iff $\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set iff $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(F_{n}(X,2))}$.
• (ii) $\mathsf {AC}_{\mathrm{fin}}$ ($\mathsf {AC}$ restricted to families of finite sets) iff for every set X, $\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set.
• (iii) $\mathsf {AC}_{\mathrm{fin}}$ does not imply “$\mathcal {K}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set($\mathcal {K}(\mathbf {X})$ is the family of all closed subsets of the space $\mathbf {X}$)
• (iv) $\mathcal {K}(\mathbf {2}^{X})\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ implies $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(\mathcal {\wp }(X))}$ but $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)}$ does not imply $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(\mathcal {\wp }(X))}$.

We also show that “For every setX, “$\mathcal {K}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$has a choice set” iff “for every setX, $\mathcal {K}\big (\mathbf {[0,1]}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$has a choice set” iff “for every product$\mathbf {X}$of finite discrete spaces,$\mathcal {K}(\mathbf {X})\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set”.

Let■=-△+V be a Schrdinger operator on R~n,n3,where △is the Laplacian on R~n and V≠0 is a nonnegative function satisfying the reverse Holder's inequality.Let[b,T]be the commutator generated by the Campanatotype function b∈■ and the Riesz transform associated with Schrdinger operator T=▽(-△+V)~(-1/2).In the paper,we establish the boundedness of[b,T]on Lebesgue spaces and Campanato-type spaces.     

参数函数$\epsilon$取边际值时的$GCF_\epsilon$集

Let ∈ :N → R be a parameter function satisfying the condition ∈(k) + k + 1 > 0and let T∈ :(0,1] →(0,1] be a transformation defined by T∈(x) =-1 +(k + 1)x1 + k-k∈x for x ∈(1k + 1,1k].Under the algorithm T∈,every x ∈(0,1] is attached an expansion,called generalized continued fraction(GCF∈) expansion with parameters by Schweiger.Define the sequence {kn(x)}n≥1of the partial quotients of x by k1(x) = ∈1/x∈ and kn(x) = k1(Tn-1∈(x)) for every n ≥ 2.Under the restriction-k-1 < ∈(k) <-k,define the set of non-recurring GCF∈expansions as F∈= {x ∈(0,1] :kn+1(x) > kn(x) for infinitely many n}.It has been proved by Schweiger that F∈has Lebesgue measure 0.In the present paper,we strengthen this result by showing that{dim H F∈≥12,when ∈(k) =-k-1 + ρ for a constant 0 < ρ < 1;1s+2≤ dimHF∈≤1s,when ∈(k) =-k-1 +1ksfor any s ≥ 1where dim H denotes the Hausdorff dimension.     

与截面相关的Morrey空间与奇异积分

In this paper, we define the Morrey spaces M_F~(p,q) (Rn) and the Campanato spaces E_F~(p,q) (R~n) associated with a family F of sections and a doubling measure μ, where F is closely related to the Monge-Amp`ere equation. Furthermore, we obtain the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function associated to F, Monge-Amp`ere singular integral operators and fractional integrals on M_F~(p,q)(R~n). We also prove that the Morrey spaces M_F~(p,q) (R~n)and the Campanato spaces E_F~(p,q) (R~n) are equivalent with 1 ≤ q ≤ p ∞.     

Conclaves of planes in PG (4,2) and certain planes external to the Grassmannian ${\cal G}_{1,4,2} \subset$ PG(9,2)

We show that in $\operatorname{PG}(4,2)$ there exist octets $\mathcal{P} _{8}=\{\pi_{1},\,\ldots\,,\pi_{8}\}$ of planes such that the 28 intersections $\pi_{i}\cap\pi_{j}$ are distinct points. Such conclaves (see [6]) $\mathcal{P}_{8}$ of planes in $\operatorname{PG}(4,2)$ are shown to be in bijective correspondence with those planes $P$ in $\operatorname{PG}(9,2)$ which are external to the Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_{1,4,2}$ and which belong to the orbit $\operatorname{orb}(2\gamma)$ (see [4]). The fact that, under the action of $\operatorname{GL}(5,2),$ the stabilizer groups $\mathcal{G}_{\mathcal{P}_{8}}$ and $\mathcal{G}_{P}$ both have the structure $2^{3}:(7:3)$ is thus illuminated. Starting out from a regulus-free partial spread $\mathcal{S}_{8}$ in $\operatorname{PG}(4,2)$ we also give a construction of a conclave of planes $P\in\operatorname{orb}(2\gamma)\subset\operatorname{PG}(9,2).$     

Integral homology -spheres and the Johnson filtration

The mapping class group of an oriented surface of genus with one boundary component has a natural decreasing filtration , where is the kernel of the action of on the nilpotent quotient of . Using a tree Lie algebra approximating the graded Lie algebra we prove that any integral homology sphere of dimension has for some a Heegaard decomposition of the form , where and is such that . This proves a conjecture due to S. Morita and shows that the ``core' of the Casson invariant is indeed the Casson invariant.

     

Limitations on the extendibility of the Radon-Nikodym Theorem

Given two locally compact spaces and a continuous map the Banach lattice is naturally a -module. Following the Bourbaki approach to integration we define generalized measures as -linear functionals . The construction of an -space and the concepts of absolute continuity and density still make sense. However we exhibit a counter-example to the natural generalization of the Radon-Nikodym Theorem in this context.
