The SIR model in a moving population: propagation of infection and herd immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate $\nu$.
