🌐 𝐃∇² Diffusion Dynamics: Spatiotemporally Continuous Models

Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) provide a rigorous mathematical framework for modeling infectious disease transmission when epidemic dynamics evolve continuously in both space and time. In contrast to ordinary differential equation models, which assume homogeneous mixing, and metapopulation models, which discretize space into patches, PDE-based approaches describe the smooth spatial propagation of pathogens. These models are … Read more
