报告题目

(一)Mathematical Models for Infectious Diseases with Nonlocal State Structures

Abstract In this talk, I will introduce state structures in mathematical models for infectious diseases. The state is a measure of infectivity of an infected individual in epidemic models or the intensity of viral replications in an infected cell for in-host models. In modelling, a state structure can be either discrete or continuous.

In a discrete state structure, a model is described by a large system of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The complexity of the system often poses a serious challenge for the analysis of system dynamics. I will show how such a complex system can be viewed as a dynamical system defined on a transmission-transfer network (digraph), and how a graph-theoretic approach to Lyapunov functions developed by Guo-Li-Shuai can be applied to rigorously establish the global dynamics.

In a continuous state structure, the model gives rise to a system of nonlinear integro-differential equations with a nonlocal term. The mathematical challenges for such a system include a lack of compactness of the associated nonlinear semigroup. The well-posedness and dissipativity of the semigroup is established by directly verifying the asymptotic smoothness. An equivalent principal spectral condition between the next-generation operator and the linearized operator allows us to link the basic reproduction number R0 to a threshold condition for the stability of the disease-free equilibrium. The proof of the global stability of the endemic equilibrium utilizes a Lyapunov function whose construction is informed by the graph-theoretic approach in the discrete case.

(二)  Modeling HIV/SIV Infections in Brain

Abstract: Understanding HIV-1 replication and latency in different reservoirs is an ongoing challenge in the care of patients with HIV/AIDS. A mathematical model was created to describe and predict the viral dynamics of HIV-1 and SIV infection within the brain during effective combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). We combine the available clinical data and the mathematical model to provide insight on the dynamics of the HIV infection in brain and discuss the effectiveness of the "shock-and-kill" strategy of eliminating HIV/SIV from the body.
