The Deterministic Spread of a Simple Epidemic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 September 2017
Abstract
An approximation technique is developed for studying the deterministic spread of a simple epidemic which avoids a difficulty inherent in the diffusion approximation. Travelling wave solutions are found and calculated for various contact distributions. The solution developing from an isolated infective is also briefly discussed.
