Mean field game for modeling of COVID-19 spread

Abstract

The paper presents the one of possible approach to model the epidemic propagation. The proposed model is based on the mean-field control inside separate groups of population, namely, suspectable (S), infected (I), removed (R) and cross-immune (C). In the paper the numerical algorithm to solve such a problem is presented, which ensures the conservation the total mass of population during timeline. Numerical experiments demonstrate the result of modelling the propagation of COVID-19 virus during two 100 day periods in Novosibirsk (Russia).
