Basic Reproductive Rate of a Spatial Epidemic Model Using Computer Algebra Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of computer algebra software has many applications in diverse fields like epidemiology. This work pretends to show how computer algebra software applications for symbolic computation have a very promissory future in mathematical epidemiology with a concrete problem of this kind. In this case; the basic reproductive rate, corresponding to the propagation of a certain disease inside a circular habitat when the disease is endemic at the boundary is calculated using computer algebra software with the method of Laplace Transform Technique and residues calculus. The results obtained, includes both the explicit form of the R0 for the boundary condition that was considered, and the explicit symbolic solution of the model equations. The method used can be extended to more complex problems such as indirectly transmitted diseases with one or more intermediary hosts or effects of genetic, immunological, geographical or social heterogeneity in the human population. Keywords Basic reproductive rate, Computer algebra software, pan-epidemic threshold, pan-endemic threshold

Analytical Solution of a Spatial Sir Epidemic Model with Memory Inside a Circular Habitat with Endemic Memory using CAS
Using Computer Algebra Software (CAS) we obtained the reproduction rate of an Epidemic Propagation in a circular habitat, for two cases, in the first one the boundary has an endemic condition, in the other one it presents an infectious transference from other territories through its boundary. We transformed the initial equation into Laplace Domain, and then we solved the simplified differential...
متن کاملENTROPY FOR DTMC SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL
In this paper at rst, a history of mathematical models is given.Next, some basic information about random variables, stochastic processesand Markov chains is introduced. As follows, the entropy for a discrete timeMarkov process is mentioned. After that, the entropy for SIS stochastic modelsis computed, and it is proved that an epidemic will be disappeared after a longtime.

In this paper an SIS epidemic model with saturated incidence rate and treatment func- tion is proposed and studied. The existence of all feasible equilibrium points is discussed. The local stability conditions of the disease free equilibrium point and endemic equilibrium point are established with the help of basic reproduction number.However the global stabili- ty conditions of these eq...

Finding optimal policies to minimize the mortality and morbidity of epidemic outbreaks is a top public health priority. The previous influenza pandemic and other emerging / reemerging diseases demonstrate the importance of mathematical modeling, and calls for a synergistic cooperation of epidemiologists, mathematical modelers and public health experts. The purpose of this paper is to provide an...
متن کاملPopulation-level differences in disease transmission: a Bayesian analysis of multiple smallpox epidemics.
Estimates of a disease's basic reproductive rate R0 play a central role in understanding outbreaks and planning intervention strategies. In many calculations of R0, a simplifying assumption is that different host populations have effectively identical transmission rates. This assumption can lead to an underestimate of the overall uncertainty associated with R0, which, due to the non-linearity o...
