10. Universal Approximators: New Approach for the Curve Fit of the COVID-19 Infected Population
ABSTRACT Fuzzy systems that include Takagi-Sugeno inference method with linear outputs, are widely known to have the ability to uniformly approximate any polynomial with high precision and, as a consequence, any continuous function, by applying the approximation theorem of Weierstrass. There is one more advantage for these methods which is to obtain an expli

12. A SIR Model with Spatially Distributed Multiple Populations Interactions for Disease Dissemination
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 tha
