Table 1 Parameters in an age compartment-structured SIR model.
Parameters at i th compartment | |
|---|---|
\(p_{i}\), \(q_{i}\), \(r_{i}\) | Survival rates of \(S_{i}\), \(I_{i}\), \(R_{i}\). |
\(\alpha_{i} \) | Exposition rate of susceptible individuals \(S_{i}\) by contact with infected individuals \(I_{i}\). |
\(\gamma_{i}\) | Rate of infected individuals becoming recovered individuals. |
\(\sigma_{i}\), \(\mu_{i}\), \(\nu_{i}\) | Rate individuals changing of age-compartment without changing the state. |
\(\epsilon_{i}\), \(\delta_{i}\) | Rate individuals changing of age-compartment with changing the state. |
