SIR Epidemics Dynamics and Control

Files and supporting documentation for SIR epidemic modeling and control problem used at Arizona State for ChE 461 and 561 courses.

This contribution includes files and supporting documentation for a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic modeling and control problem used in the chemical engineering program at Arizona State for ChE 461 Process Dynamics and Control and ChE 561 Advanced Process Control courses.

The problem (for the 2DoF IMC-PID with filter control case, including vaccination and loss of immunity/reinfection) is described in a paper presented at the 4th IFAC Conference on Advances in PID control (PID 2024) in Almería, Spain:
