Qualitative properties of space-dependent SIR models with constant delay and their numerical solutions
share
In this article a space-dependent epidemic model equipped with a constant latency period is examined. We construct a delay partial integro-differential equation and show that its solution possesses some biologically reasonable features. We propose some numerical schemes and show that by choosing the time step to be sufficiently small the schemes preserve the qualitative properties of the original continuous model. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented that confirm the aforementioned theoretical results.
