COVID-19 Pandemic Dynamics

Dr. Igor Nesteruk is Leading Researcher at the Institute of Hydromechanics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and Head of Laboratory of Biomedical Electronics at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. His main research interests are inverse non-steady problems of fluid mechanics, supercavitation, flow control, biomedical signal processing and mathematical simulations of infectious diseases.

Introduction.- Data used for calculations, comparisons and verifications.- Classical SIR model and the exact solution of differential equations.- Results of SIR simulation for the pandemic dynamics in different countries and regions.- Procedures of the parameter identification for the waves of epidemics.- Conclusions.

“I appreciated the book's clear and accessible writing, which provides the reader with a smooth introduction to pandemic modeling. … I would recommend this book to a range of possible audiences: third-and fourth-year undergraduate students in mathematical disciplines; epidemiologists with some mathematical background who want to learn more about transmission modeling; and graduate students and faculty … . book's lucid approach with in-depth country case studies will be helpful for learning more about applying mathematical models to inform pandemic response.” (Chris Bauch, SIAM Review, Vol. 64 (1), March, 2022)
