Simulation of differential equations with turtle graphics using JSXGraph.

SIR model without vital dynamics

A single epidemic outbreak is usually far more rapid than the vital dynamics of a population, thus, if the aim is to study the immediate consequences of a single epidemic, one may neglect the birth-death processes. In this case the SIR system described above can be expressed by the following set of differential equations:

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{dS}{dt} = - \beta I S }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{dR}{dt} = \gamma I }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{dI}{dt} = -(dS+dR) }[/math]

The lines in the JSXGraph-simulation below have the following meaning:

* Blue: Rate of susceptible population
* Red: Rate of infected population
* Green: Rate of recovered population (which means: immune, isolated or dead)


Example:

Hong Kong flu: initially 7.9 million people, 10 infected, 0 recovered. Thus S(0) = 1, I(0) = 1.27E-6, R(0) = 0, see [1].
