On a Generalized Time-Varying SEIR Epidemic Model with Mixed Point and Distributed Time-Varying Delays and Combined Regular and Impulsive Vaccination Controls

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized time-varying SEIR propagation disease model subject to delays is discussed, which potentially involves mixed regular and impulsive vaccination rules, and the proposed regular vaccination control objective is the tracking of a prescribed suited infectious trajectory for a set of given initial conditions.

Accurate closed-form solution of the SIR epidemic model.

TL;DR: An accurate closed-form solution is obtained to the SIR Epidemic Model through the use of Asymptotic Approximants (Barlow et al., 2017).

On the Existence of Equilibrium Points, Boundedness, Oscillating Behavior and Positivity of a SVEIRS Epidemic Model under Constant and Impulsive Vaccination

TL;DR: In this article, the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points of a SVEIRS propagation disease model with a regular constant vaccination were discussed and the positivity of such a model was also discussed as well as the boundedness of the total and partial populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of epidemic spreading process on multiplex networks by incorporating fatal properties.

TL;DR: A two-layered multiplex network model (usually composed of a virtual layer sustaining unaware-aware-unaware (UAU) dynamics and a physical one supporting susceptible-infected-recovered-dead (SIRD) process) is presented to investigate the spreading property of fatal epidemics in this manuscript.

Vaccination strategies based on feedback control techniques for a general SEIR-epidemic model

TL;DR: Several simple linear vaccination-based control strategies for a SEIR (susceptible plus infected plus infectious plus removed populations) propagation disease model for vaccination control of susceptible and infected populations are presented.

A contribution to the mathematical theory of epidemics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of finding a causal factor which appears to be adequate to account for the magnitude of the frequent epidemics of disease which visit almost every population.

A Contribution to the Mathematical Theory of Epidemics.

TL;DR: The present communication discussion will be limited to the case in which all members of the community are initially equally susceptible to the disease, and it will be further assumed that complete immunity is conferred by a single infection.

The Mathematics of Infectious Diseases

Herbert W. Hethcote
- 01 Dec 2000 - 
TL;DR: Threshold theorems involving the basic reproduction number, the contact number, and the replacement number $R$ are reviewed for classic SIR epidemic and endemic models and results with new expressions for $R_{0}$ are obtained for MSEIR and SEIR endemic models with either continuous age or age groups.

On the definition and the computation of the basic reproduction ratio R0 in models for infectious diseases in heterogeneous populations

TL;DR: It is shown that in certain special cases one can easily compute or estimate the expected number of secondary cases produced by a typical infected individual during its entire period of infectiousness in a completely susceptible population.

On the definition and the computation of the basic reproduction ratio : $R_ 0$ in models for infectious diseases in heterogeneous populations

TL;DR: In this paper, the expected number of secondary cases produced by a typical infected individual during its entire period of infectiousness in a completely susceptible population is defined as the dominant eigenvalue of a positive linear operator.
