Some fractal thoughts about the COVID-19 infection outbreak (2004.04819v1)
Published 8 Apr 2020 in q-bio.PE, math.DS, and physics.bio-ph
Abstract: Some ideas are presented about the physical motivation of the apparent capacity of generalized logistic equations to describe the outbreak of the COVID-19 infection, and in general of quite many other epidemics. The main focuses here are: the complex, possibly fractal, structure of the locus describing the "contagion event set"; what can be learnt from the models of trophic webs with "herd behaviour".
