The main aim of this thesis is to define, implement and analyze an in-vitro epidemic model which takes into account both the non-homogeneous mixing of the population and the time-evolution of humans' contacts. Particularly, the analysis are focused on founding similarities and discrepancies between the mathematical properties of our and more classical models, and on confirming the fact that, even in a simple abstract dynamic model, some epidemiological quantities are strongly biased.

Abstract

The main aim of this thesis is to define, implement and analyze an in-vitro epidemic model which takes into account both the non-homogeneous mixing of the population and the time-evolution of humans' contacts. Particularly, the analysis are focused on founding similarities and discrepancies between the mathematical properties of our and more classical models, and on confirming the fact that, even in a simple abstract dynamic model, some epidemiological quantities are strongly biased.
