A kinetic model for epidemic spread

Mario Pulvirenti, Sergio Simonella

Published 2020-05-20Version 1

We present a Boltzmann equation for mixtures of three species of particles reducing to the Kermack-McKendrick (SIR) equations for the time-evolution of the density of infected agents in an isolated population. The kinetic model is potentially more detailed and might provide information on space mixing of the agents.
