Abstract

This thesis is the result of the research I have carried out during my Ph.D. studies in Mathematics and Applications at University of Naples Federico II, between 2022 and 2025. Over the past three years, my work has focused on numerical solution of integral models with applications in epidemiology. Specifically, the aim of my research has been twofold: on the one hand, the development of epidemic models that incorporate behavioural feedback mechanisms, reflecting changes in individual behaviour in response to an ongoing epidemic, together with their formulation and mathematical analysis; and on the other hand, the design of numerical methods intended to accurately preserve the dynamical properties of the corresponding continuous systems. The thesis is based on a selection of the works I developed during this period. In particular, it includes three published research papers and one manuscript currently in preparation. The choice of including these works was motivated by their coherence with the overarching theme of the thesis and their contribution to addressing the research questions defined at the beginning of my doctoral journey. Some additional results obtained during this period, although not presented here in detail, have also contributed to shaping the overall perspective of my research.
