An SIR-type epidemiological model that integrates social distancing as a dynamic law based on point prevalence and socio-behavioral factors
Abstract Modeling human behavior within mathematical models of infectious diseases is a key component to understand and control disease spread. We present a mathematical compartmental model of Susceptible–Infectious–Removed to compare the infected curves given by four different functional forms desc...
