We begin in the one-dimensional case, whereby fully explicit formulas for the complex band structure, in terms of the capacitance matrix, are available. As an example, we show that the gap functions can be used to accurately predict the decay rate of the interface mode of a photonic analogue of the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model. In two dimensions, we derive the bandgap Green's function and characterize the subwavelength gap functions via layer potential techniques. By generalizing existing lattice-summation techniques, we illustrate our results numerically by computing the complex band structure in a variety of settings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"154 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this investigation, we present an Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model that integrates an age-structured and a saturated treatment function, and demonstrate its well-posedness.
