Solution

This problem involves the application of the Kermack-McKendrick SIR model for epidemiological dynamics, and asks to predict the number of infected individuals after 500 days using Euler's method with a step size of 0.1.

The model consists of the following system of ordinary differential equations:

dSdt=rS(t)I(t)N\frac{dS}{dt} = -\frac{r S(t) I(t)}{N} dIdt=rS(t)I(t)NγI(t)\frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{r S(t) I(t)}{N} - \gamma I(t) dRdt=γI(t)\frac{dR}{dt} = \gamma I(t)

Given:

  • Population N=1,000,000N = 1,000,000
  • Initial susceptible individuals S(0)=900,000S(0) = 900,000
  • Initial infected individuals I(0)=2I(0) = 2
  • Initial removed individuals R(0)=0R(0) = 0
  • Infection rate r=0.9r = 0.9
  • Recovery/death rate γ=0.3\gamma = 0.3
  • Time period t=500t = 500 days
  • Step size h=0.1h = 0.1

We will use Euler's method to estimate the values of S(t)S(t), I(t)I(t), and R(t)R(t) iteratively by updating the values for each time step based on the system of equations. Let's set up the simulation.

I'll calculate this using Python to give you the projections.
