Optimal Control of a Birth and Death Epidemic Process

Operations Research, 1981
We employ a birth and death process to describe the spread of an infectious disease through a closed population. Control of the epidemic can be effected at any instant by varying the birth and death rates to represent quarantine and medical care programs.

Communication and epidemic processes

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1967
Abstract It is pointed out that communication processes can be represented as epidemic processes. Consequently, epidemic theory can be applied to the study of any process in which information is transmitted within a population. The members of such populations need not be human beings but could be micro-organisms or even machines.

An Epidemic Process in an Open Population

Nature, 1965
IN general an epidemic process can be characterized as a time-dependent process of transition by the members of a population, where the state transitions are caused by exposure to some influence called infectious material. The members of the population can belong to one of three basic states at a given point in time: (a) Infective, those members of the

SIR epidemics driven by Feller processes

Journal of Applied Probability, 2023
AbstractWe consider a stochastic SIR (susceptible $\rightarrow$ infective $\rightarrow$ removed) model in which the infectious periods are modulated by a collection of independent and identically distributed Feller processes. Each infected individual is associated with one of these processes, the trajectories of which determine the duration of his ...

The epidemic process and the contagion model

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1973
AbstractGoffman's epidemic theory is presented and compared to the contagion theory developed by Menzel and his co‐author(s). An attempt is made to compare the two models presented and examine their similarities and differences. The conclusion drawn is that the two models are very similar in their approach to understanding communication processes with ...

Globalization and an epidemic process

Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases, 2010
The paper presents the results of analyzing the influence of major factors for globalization on the clinical and epidemiological manifestations of communicable diseases. Globalization is shown to considerably change the essence of an epidemic process and to affect its all component elements, by substantially accelerating the emergence and prevalence of
