🌊 The Epidemic Wave: Mapping Spatial Spread through Reaction–Diffusion Dynamics
🧬 Overview and Conceptual Motivation Standard compartmental epidemic models describe how infections evolve over time but typically ignore spatial structure, effectively treating the population as a single point in space. The Epidemic Wave, or Traveling Wave Reaction–Diffusion Model, extends these approaches by explicitly incorporating geographical movement. By coupling local transmission processes with spatial diffusion, the … Read more
