SIR model for emerging infectious diseases resembles KdV solution

【The Spreading Profile for an Emerging Infectious Disease and Its Resemblance to the KdV Solution】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/gJcjQzzj (Authored by Zach Fendler and Valipuram S. Manoranjan, from Washington State University, USA.) The #SIR_model describes the transmission of infectious diseases between susceptible and infected individuals and provides the basic framework for almost all subsequent epidemic models. This work gains an understanding of the SIR model for novel or emerging infectious diseases by deriving time-dependent solutions for the spreading profiles using a #second_order_approximation and notices that a solution that resembles the well-known soliton solution of the Korteweg-de Vries (#KdV) equation is obtained. #Nonlinear_PDE #Solitary_Wave
