Harmful information spreading and its impact on vaccination campaigns modeled through fractal-fractional operators

Abstract

Despite the huge efforts to develop and administer vaccines worldwide to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, misinformation spreading through fake news in media and social networks about vaccination safety, make that people refuse to be vaccinated, which harms not only these people but also the whole population. In this work, we model the effects of harmful information spreading in immunization acquisition through vaccination. Our model is posed for several fractional derivative operators. We have conducted a comprehensive foundation analysis of this model for the different fractional derivatives. Additionally, we have incorporated a strength parameter that shows the combined impact of nonlinear and linear components within an epidemiological model. We have used the second derivative of the Lyapunov function to ascertain the detection of wave patterns within the vaccination dynamics.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
