Using Cellular Automata to Simulate Epidemic Diseases
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work, a novel model to simulate epidemic spreading is introduced. It is based on the use of two-dimensional cellular automata, where each cell stand for a square portion of the environment. It is suppose that the distribution of the population is homogeneous, that is, all cells have the same population. The laboratory simulations obtained seem to be in agreement with the real behavior of epidemic spreading. Mathematics Subject Classification: 68Q80, 92D30

Equal Distribution Model of Epidemic Drugs Based on a Cellular Automata Model
The epidemic spreading of infectious disease is a process of evolution over time. Based on the cellular automata model, this paper analyzes the epidemic spreading rules, and establishes an efficient equal distribution model of drugs in a broad sense. For multiple regions, in case of demand of drugs exceeding supply, the drugs shall be distributed according to the proportion of a total number of...
متن کاملPattern Formation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Model: Cellular Automata Approach
FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model is a famous Reaction-Diffusion System which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. This model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. Here, we have used the Cellular Automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the FHN model. It is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those...

متن کاملCellular Automata Simulation of a Bistable Reaction-Diffusion System: Microscopic and Macroscopic Approaches
The Cellular Automata method has been used to simulate the pattern formation of the Schlögl model as a bistable Reaction-Diffusion System. Both microscopic and macroscopic Cellular Automata approaches have been considered and two different methods for obtaining the probabilities in the microscopic approach have been mentioned. The results show the tendency of the system towards the more sta...
متن کاملModeling epidemics using cellular automata
The main goal of this work is to introduce a theoretical model, based on cellular automata, to simulate epidemic spreading. Specifically, it divides the population into three classes: susceptible, infected and recovered, and the state of each cell stands for the portion of these classes of individuals in the cell at every step of time. The effect of population vaccination is also considered. Th...
