An epidemiological compartmental model with automated parameter estimation and forecasting of the spread of COVID-19 with analysis of data from Germany and Brazil [PDF]
Front. Appl. Math. Stat., 13 April 2022, 2020 In this work, we adapt the epidemiological SIR model to study the evolution of the dissemination of COVID-19 in Germany and Brazil (nationally, in the State of Paraiba, and in the City of Campina Grande). We prove the well posedness and the continuous dependence of the model dynamics on its parameters.
