Basic reproduction number of SEIRS model on regular lattice
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019 In this paper we give a basic reproduction number $\mathscr{R}_0$ of an SEIRS model on regular lattice using next-generation matrix approach. Our result is straightforward but differs from the basic reproduction numbers for various fundamental epidemic ...

Estimating epidemic exponential growth rate and basic reproduction number
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2020 The initial exponential growth rate of an epidemic is an important measure of the severeness of the epidemic, and is also closely related to the basic reproduction number.

Basic reproduction number and effective reproduction number for North Cyprus for fighting Covid-19
Қарағанды университетінің хабаршысы. Математика сериясы, 2020 The aim of this paper is to show how North Cyprus fought with Covid-19 by using R0 and Rt, as herd immunity. For that purpose, we used a SEIR model for basic reproduction number, R0, and calculated Rt values by using R0 values. North Cyprus is the first

Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number for the COVID-19 Pandemic in Minnesota. [PDF]
IFAC Pap OnLine, 2021 This paper focuses on the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic and estimation of associated real-time variables characterizing disease spread. A nonlinear dynamic model is developed which enhances the traditional SEIR epidemic model to include additional variables of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths.
