COVID-19 Epidemiology and Virus Dynamics: Nonlinear Physics and Mathematical Modeling

This book addresses the COVID-19 pandemic from a quantitative perspective based on mathematical models and methods largely used in nonlinear physics. It aims to study COVID-19 epidemics in countries and SARS-CoV-2 infections in individuals from the nonlinear physics perspective and to model explicitly COVID-19 data observed in countries and virus load data observed in COVID-19 patients.

The first part of this book provides a short technical introduction into amplitude spaces given by eigen...
