Design, analysis and simulation of a robust numerical method to solve Zika virus models
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)This thesis deals with the analysis and robust simulation of mathematical models describing Zika virus disease. Some background information about the occurrences of this disease and most recent literature indicating some ... -
Mathematical modeling and analysis of HIV/AIDS control measures
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)In this thesis, we investigate the HIV/AIDS epidemic in a population which experiences a significant flow of immigrants. We derive and analyse a math- ematical model that describes the dynamics of HIV infection among the ... -
Mathematical modeling of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)In this dissertation we present the quantitative response of an epidemic of the so-called SIR-type, in a population consisting of a local component and a migrant component. Each component can be divided into three classes, ... -
Mathematical modeling of population dynamics of HIV with antiretroviral treatment and herbal medicine
(University of Western Cape, 2014)Herbal medicines have been an important part of health and wellness for hundreds of years. Recently the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines. Herbs contain many ... -
Mathematical modelling of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the effect of public health education
(University of Western Cape, 2014)HIV/AIDS is nowadays considered as the greatest public health disaster of modern time. Its progression has challenged the global population for decades. Through mathematical modelling, researchers have studied different ...
