Haaa les zombies...
Mais vous êtes vous demandé quelle serait la vraie probabilité de survie de l'espèce humaine en cas d'attaque de zombies?
Heureusement que des mathématiciens en goguette l'ont fait pour nous!
Un pti résumé de l'affaire:
"Zombies are a popular ???gure in pop culture/entertainment and they are usually
portrayed as being brought about through an outbreak or epidemic. Consequently,
we model a zombie attack, using biological assumptions based on popular zombie
movies. We introduce a basic model for zombie infection, determine equilibria and
their stability, and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions. We then re???ne the
model to introduce a latent period of zombi???cation, whereby humans are infected, but
not infectious, before becoming undead. We then modify the model to include the
effects of possible quarantine or a cure. Finally, we examine the impact of regular,
impulsive reductions in the number of zombies and derive conditions under which
eradication can occur. We show that only quick, aggressive attacks can stave off the
doomsday scenario: the collapse of society as zombies overtake us all. "
Maintenant on sait au moins...
