TY - JOUR T1 - A Scalable Formulation for Engineering Combination Therapies for Evolutionary Dynamics of Disease JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/000075 SP - 000075 AU - Vanessa Jonsson AU - Anders Rantzer AU - Richard M.

Leveraging these results, we propose a scalable iterative algorithm for the systematic design of sparse, small gain feedback strategies that stabilize the evolutionary dynamics of a generic disease model. We achieve the desired feedback structure by augmenting the optimization problems with ℓ1 and ℓ2 regularization terms, and illustrate our method on an example inspired by an experimental study aimed at finding appropriate HIV neutralizing antibody therapy combinations in the presence of escape mutants.
