Estimation of safety areas for epidemic spread
Abstract
In this work we study safety areas in epidemic spred. The aim of this work is, given the evolution of epidemic at time , find a safety set at time . This is, a random set such that the probability that infection reaches at time is small. More precisely, inspired on the study of epidemic spread, we consider a model in which the measure is the incidence -density of infectives individuals- in the set , at time and with random transition kernels of the form where , satisfy some ergodic conditions. The support of is called . We also assume that is compact with regular border and that for any the kernel has compact support. A random set is a safety area of level if: [{)}] {\rm is a function of} [{)}] We present a method to find these safety areas and some related results.
