On an Sir Epidemic Model for the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Logistic Equation

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to describe and interpret an SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) epidemic model though a logistic equation, which is parameterized by a Malthusian parameter and a carrying capacity parameter, both being time-varying, in general, and then to apply the model to the COVID-19 pandemic by using some recorded data. In particular, the Malthusian parameter is related to the growth rate of the infection solution while the carrying capacity is related to its maximum reachable value… Show more

“…Figure 15 displays the dynamics of the model along with the number of real cases reported in Italy from 26 February 2020 (which corresponds to the first day of simulation) for 145 consecutive days. This example for the COVID-19 pandemic has been considered previously in [31,32].…”

“…In the last century several compartmental models in epidemiology are derivatives of the type Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered individuals (SIR), see for example [1,2] for further details and recent modeling contributions with more references therein [3][4][5][6][7]. The most widely used models, and among the simplest ones, proved to be those proposed by .…”

“…Based on heart rate and sleep data collected from wearables, Zhu et al [15] proposed a framework to predict the prevalence of COVID-19 in different countries and cities. In [16], the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model was proposed and explained by logistic equation. Msmali et al [17] used a mathematical model to study the role of behavior change in slowing the spread of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia.…”
