A Multi-Regions SIRS Discrete Epidemic Model With a Travel-Blocking Vicinity Optimal Control Approach on Cells
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
In Susceptible-Infected-Removed-Susceptible (SIRS) compartmental models, we can suppose that a removed population has lost its immunity after being healed from an infection, and then, it moves to the susceptible compartment. In this paper, we devise a multi-regions SIRS discrete epidemic model which describes infection dynamics in regions which are connected with their neighbors by any kind of anthropological movement. We introduce controls variables into our model to show the effectiveness of movements restrictions of the infected individuals coming from the vicinity of a region we target by a control strategy we call here by the travel-blocking vicinity optima lcontrol strategy. A gridded surface of colored cells is presented to illustrate the whole domain affected by the epidemic while each cell represents a sub-domain or region. The infection is supposed starting from only one cell located in one of the borders of the surface, while the region aiming to control is supposed to be located in the center as an example to show the effectiveness of the travel-blocking vicinity optimal control approach when it is applied to a cell with 8 neighboring cells.

Some Fixed Point Theorems for Berinde-Type Contraction Mappings on Gp-Metric Spaces
In this paper, we de ne the concepts of (δ, 1 − δ)-weak contraction, (φ, 1 − δ)-weak contraction and Ciric-type almost contraction in the sense of Berinde in Gp-complete Gp-metric space. Furthermore, we prove the exist...
Eigenvalue Problem with the Basis Exchange Algorithm
The eigenvalue problem plays an important role in contemporary methods of exploratory data analysis. As an example, the principal component analysis (PCA) widely used in data exploration, is based on finding the eigenval...
Variants of Compatible Mappings in Menger Spaces
In this paper, we introduce the notions of compatible mappings of type(R), type (K) and type (E) in Mengers paces and prove some common fixed point theorems for these mappings. In fact, we call these maps as variants of...
Rootless B-Fredholm Operators
Let T be a B-Fredholm operator on a Banach space X. We say that T is rootless if there is no bounded linear operator S and no positive integer n ≥ 2 such that T = Sn. In this note, some properties of the uniform topologi...
Existence and Uniqueness of Positive Periodic Solution of an Extended Rosenzweig-MacArthur Model via Brouwer's Topological Degree
The necessary conditions for existence of periodic solutions of an Extended Rosenzweig- MacArthur model are obtained using Brouwer’s degree. The forward invariant set is formulated to ensure the boundedness of the soluti...
