Sparse bounds for the discrete spherical maximal functions
(2020)
We prove sparse bounds for the spherical maximal operator of Magyar, Stein and Wainger. The bounds are conjecturally sharp, and contain an endpoint estimate. The new method of proof is inspired by ones by Bourgain and ...
Infection model for analyzing biological control of coffee rust using bacterial anti-fungal compounds
(2019-01)
Coffee rust is one of the main diseases that affect coffee plantations worldwide (Cressey, 2013 [10]). This causes an important economic impact in the coffee production industry in countries where coffee is an important ...
A Two-Patch Epidemic Model with Nonlinear Reinfection
Un modelo epidémico de dos poblaciones con reinfección no lineal
(2019-12)
The propagation of infectious diseases and its impact on individuals play a major role in disease dynamics, and it is important to incorporate population heterogeneity into efforts to study diseases. As a simplistic but ...
Transmission dynamics of Dengue in Costa Rica: The role of hospitalizations
Dinámica de la transmisión de dengue en Costa Rica: El rol de las hospitalizaciones
(2019-12)
For decades, dengue virus has caused major problems for public health officials in tropical and subtropical countries around the world. We construct a compartmental model that includes the role of hospitalized individuals ...
An overlapping Schwarz method for virtual element discretizations in two dimensions
(2019)
A new coarse space for domain decomposition methods is presented for nodal ellipticproblems in two dimensions. The coarse space is derived from the novel virtual elementmethods and therefore can accommodate quite irregular ...
Uniform sparse bounds for discrete quadratic phase Hilbert transforms
(2017-09)
Consider the discrete quadratic phase Hilbert Transform acting on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ finitely supported
functions
$$
H^{\alpha} f(n) : = \sum_{m \neq 0} \frac{e^{i\alpha m^2} f(n - m)}{m}.
$$
We prove that, ...
Parameter estimates of the 2016-2017 Zika outbreak in Costa Rica: An Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) approach
(2019-03-28)
In Costa Rica, the first known cases of Zika were reported in 2016. We looked at the 2016-2017 Zika outbreak and explored the transmission dynamics using weekly reported data. A nonlinear differential equation single-outbreak ...
Parallel Sums and Adaptive BDDC Deluxe
(2017)
There has recently been a considerable activity in developing adaptive methods for the selection of primal constraints for BDDC algorithms and, in particular, for BDDC deluxe variants. The primal constraints of a BDDC or ...
