Nonlinear dynamics of an epidemic spreading

Autors: 
Melnikova Ekaterina Vladislavna, Saratov State University
Abstract: 

А spatiotemporal model of an epidemic spreading in the human society is introduced. It is based on a reaction-diffusion equation with local and nonlocal modes of growth. The system behavior on the phase surface and limitation of the wave velocity are analysed. The immunization and density of population as the function of spatial coordinate are taken into account.
