Area of Science:

  • Mathematical modeling
  • Epidemiology
  • Population dynamics

Background:

  • Classic population and epidemic models often present analytical challenges.
  • Previous models were often semi-stochastic, limiting their applicability.
  • Certain mathematical problems in these fields remained unsolved for decades.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-examine and solve three long-standing problems in population and epidemic modeling.
  • To develop novel analytical approaches for complex stochastic models.
  • To provide exact solutions for previously intractable models.

Main Methods:

  • Solution of a Riccati equation for the two-sex population model.
  • Rigorous analysis of a fully stochastic population growth model with random catastrophes.
  • Application of matrix geometric methods to a generalized stochastic epidemic model.

Main Results:

  • An expression for the generating function was derived for the two-sex model.
  • The fully stochastic population growth model was successfully analyzed.
  • A generalized stochastic epidemic model was solved analytically.

Conclusions:

  • Modified mathematical approaches can solve complex population and epidemic modeling problems.
  • The study provides new analytical tools for stochastic modeling in these fields.
  • This work offers exact solutions, advancing theoretical understanding.
