Abstract:
The total number of those infected at the end of an epidemic and the maximum number of infected during an epidemic are considered as two quality criteria for control by delayed isolation of the SIR- and SIRS-type infections. The temporal Barabasi — Albert graph is used to model the contacts between individuals. Simulations are run to estimate optimal delays.
