What are Some Key Models Incorporating Nonlinear Dynamics?
Several epidemiological models incorporate nonlinear dynamics to more accurately predict and manage disease outbreaks:
SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) Model: This model includes nonlinear terms to represent the interaction between susceptible and infectious individuals. SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered) Model: An extension of the SIR model that adds an exposed (but not yet infectious) stage to capture latency periods. Agent-based models: These models simulate individual behaviors and interactions, offering a highly detailed and nonlinear view of disease dynamics.
