Robustness of Dengue Complex Network under Targeted versus Random Attack by Hafiz Abid Mahmood Malik, Faiza Abid, Mohamed Ridza Wahiddin, Zeeshan Bhatti

“…The outcomes demonstrated that 5% targeted attack is equivalent to the result of 65% random assault, which showed the topology of this complex network validated a scale-free network instead of random network. Four centrality measures (Degree, Closeness, Betweenness, and Eigenvector) have been ascertained to look for focal hubs. …”

Multiple endemic states in age-structured $SIR$ epidemic models by Andrea Franceschetti, Andrea Pugliese, Dimitri Breda

“…This instance of non-uniqueness of positiveequilibria differs from most existing ones for epidemic models, since it arisesnot from a backward transcritical bifurcation at the disease free equilibrium,but through two saddle-node bifurcations of the positive equilibrium.The dynamical behaviour of the model is analysed numerically around the range wheremultiple endemic equilibria exist; many other features are shown to occur, from coexistence of multiple attractive periodic solutions, some with extremely long period, to quasi-periodic and chaotic attractors.…”
