Spatio-temporal numerical modelling of whooping cough dynamics

The SIR (Susceptible/Infectious/Recovered) whooping cough model involving nonlinear ordinary differential equations is studied and extended to incorporate (i) diffusion (ii) convection and (iii) diffusion-convection in one-space dimension. Firstand second-order finite-difference methods are develope...
