RESUMO
ABSTRACT In this contribution we analyze a discretized SIR (Susceptible, Infectious, and Removed) compartmental model, to investigate the role of individual interactions in the spread of diseases. The compartments S i,j , I i , j and R i , j ( i , j , = 1 , 2 , . . . , n ) are spatially distributed in a two-dimensional n × n network. We assume that the dynamics follow the well-known SIR-like iteration within the population in each (i, j) site. Moreover, the dynamics are enriched by considering a multi-population interaction following a Gaussian spatial distribution. Therefore, the mobility of individuals between distinct networks is measured from the width α of the Gaussian distribution. The interaction of individuals between distinct sites, responsible for the contagion between different populations, is assumed to occur in a time interval smaller than a fixed interval h so that, the total population in each site (i, j), given by N i , j = S i , j + I i , j + R i , j, remained constant (for example, individual leaves his home site (i, j) to work at a neighboring site and returns to his home in a time interval less than h). We numerically explore some scenarios of population interaction, based on distinct choices of width α, that include a hypothetically rapidly closedness and reopening of the economy. The results found show interesting dynamics in the infected population due to the interaction parameter α(t) between the populations. Finally, the model can be applied to evaluate the spread of diseases such as COVID-19 enabling decision making in different contexts.
