Application of epidemic models to phase transitions
Özet
The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) models describe the spread of epidemics in a society. In the typical case, the ratio of the susceptible individuals fall from a value S-0 close to 1 to a final value S-f, while the ratio of recovered individuals rise from 0 to R-f = 1 - S-f. The sharp passage from the level zero to the level R-f allows also the modeling of phase transitions by the number of "recovered" individuals R(t) of the SIR or SEIR model. In this article, we model the sol-gel transition for polyacrylamide-sodium alginate (SA) composite with different concentrations of SA as SIR and SEIR dynamical systems by solving the corresponding differential equations numerically and we show that the phase transitions of "classical" and "percolation" types are represented, respectively, by the SEIR and SIR models.

On the uniqueness of epidemic models fitting a normalized curve of removed individuals
Bilge, Ayşe Hümeyra; Samanlıoğlu, Funda; Ergönül, Önder (Springer Heidelberg, 2015)The susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) and the susceptible-exposed-infected-removed (SEIR) epidemic models with constant parameters are adequate for describing the time evolution of seasonal diseases for which available ... -
On the Time Shift Phenomena in Epidemic Models
Peker-Dobie, Ayşe; Demirci, Ali; Bilge, Ayşe Hümeyra; Ahmetolan, Semra (Frontiers Media Sa, 2020)In the standard Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR) models, the peak of infected individuals coincides with the inflection point of removed individuals. Nevertheless, a survey ...
