A singular perturbation approach to epidemics of vector-transmitted diseases

Some Models for Epidemics of Vector-Transmitted Diseases

Vector-transmitted diseases such as dengue fever and chikungunya have been spreading rapidly in many parts of the world. The Zika virus has been known since 1947 and invaded South America in 2013. It can be transmitted not only by (mosquito) vectors but also directly through sexual contact. Zika has developed into a serious global health problem because, while most cases are asymptomatic or ver...

A new Approach to the Multi-Objective Control of Linear Singular Perturbation Systems

Singular perturbation approach to rattleback reversals

Lagrangian systems with constraints are common models of fundamental or idealized physical systems. Holonomic constraints, typified in the example of a freely moving rigid body, give rise to systems with certain special properties, such as symplectic Hamiltonian systems. Nonholonomic constraints arise in such systems as a disk which rolls without slipping. Holonomic and nonholonomic systems hav...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Singular Vector Perturbation Under Gaussian Noise

We perform a non-asymptotic analysis on the singular vector distribution under Gaussian noise. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions on a matrix for its first few singular vectors to have near normal distribution. Our result can be used to facilitate the error analysis in linear dimension reduction.
