A SIR-type model describing the successive waves of COVID-19

GA Muñoz-Fernández, JM Seoane… - Chaos, Solitons & …, 2021 - Elsevier
It is well-known that the classical SIR model is unable to make accurate predictions on the
course of illnesses such as COVID-19. In this paper, we show that the official data released …

A SIR model assumption for the spread of COVID-19 in different communities

I Cooper, A Mondal, CG Antonopoulos - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2020 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study the effectiveness of the modelling approach on the pandemic due to
the spreading of the novel COVID-19 disease and develop a susceptible-infected-removed …

Predicting the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic with the A-SIR model: Lombardy, Italy and Sao Paulo state, Brazil

AGM Neves, G Guerrero - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2020 - Elsevier
The presence of a large number of infected individuals with few or no symptoms is an
important epidemiological difficulty and the main mathematical feature of COVID-19. The A …

Non-Markovian SIR epidemic spreading model of COVID-19

L Basnarkov, I Tomovski, T Sandev, L Kocarev - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2022 - Elsevier
We introduce non-Markovian SIR epidemic spreading model inspired by the characteristics
of the COVID-19, by considering discrete-and continuous-time versions. The distributions of …

A simple but complex enough θ-SIR type model to be used with COVID-19 real data. Application to the case of Italy

AM Ramos, MR Ferrández, M Vela-Pérez… - Physica D: Nonlinear …, 2021 - Elsevier
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in China many models have appeared in the
literature, trying to simulate its dynamics. Focusing on modeling the biological and …

A simple SIR model with a large set of asymptomatic infectives

G Gaeta - arXiv preprint arXiv:2003.08720, 2020 - arxiv.org
There is increasing evidence that one of the most difficult problems in trying to control the
ongoing COVID-19 epidemic is the presence of a large cohort of asymptomatic infectives …

Size and timescale of epidemics in the SIR framework

M Cadoni, G Gaeta - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2020 - Elsevier
The most important features to assess the severity of an epidemic are its size and its
timescale. We discuss these features in a systematic way in the context of SIR and SIR-type …

Estimation of COVID-19 dynamics “on a back-of-envelope”: Does the simplest SIR model provide quantitative parameters and predictions?

EB Postnikov - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2020 - Elsevier
Basing on existence of the mathematically sequential reduction of the three-compartmental
(Susceptible-Infected-Recovered/Removed) model to the Verhulst (logistic) equation with …

A SIDARTHE model of COVID-19 epidemic in Italy

G Giordano, F Blanchini, R Bruno, P Colaneri… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
In late December 2019, a novel strand of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causing a severe,
potentially fatal respiratory syndrome (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province …
