Motivation / Current Behaviour
Practically, we have realized the opportunity of modeling a local increase of contacts per day, e.g. through major events like Karneval or Oktoberfest. Technically, however, we currently prohibit this setting by asserting on damping factors larger than 1 (https://github.com/SciCompMod/memilio/blob/main/cpp/memilio/epidemiology/damping.h#L98)
Enhancement description
In order to allow increases in contact patterns, the technical restriction should be reduced and for dampings it should only be checked if their factors are nonnegative/positive.
Additional context
