“…Mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, over the last century, has tackled this topic with various approaches and assumptions. Among other models, epidemics have been modelled via a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], partial differential equations (PDEs) [8,9,10,11], delay differential equations (DDEs) [12,13,14], stochastic differential equations (SDEs) [15,16,17,18] and networks [19,20,21,22,23].…”
