Disease epidemics can be modelled by differential equations. Suppose we have two sub-populations of individuals in a city: individuals who are infected with some virus (1) and individuals who are susceptible to infection (S). We assume that if a susceptible person interacts with an infected person, there is a probability p that the susceptible person will become infected. Each infected person recovers from the infection at a rate r and becomes susceptible again. The differential equations that model these population sizes are d.S dt dl dt =TI - PSI, =pSI-rl. (a) Assuming no one dies from the virus, the total population N is a constant number defined as N = S+I. Show in this case that you can reduce the above system to the single differential equation for I. (b) Find the general solution I(t) to the ODE found in part (a). (c) If I(0) = lo, give the equation for the unknown constant in terms of Io, N, p and r.

Disease epidemics can be modelled by differential equations. Suppose we have two sub-populations of individuals in a city: individuals who are infected with some virus (I) and individuals who are susceptible to infection (S). We assume that if a susceptible person interacts with an infected person, there is a probability p that the susceptible person will become infected. Each infected person recovers from the infection at a rate r and becomes susceptible again. The differential equations that model these population sizes are d.S dt dI dt =rI - PSI, =pSI - TI. (a) Assuming no one dies from the virus, the total population N is a constant number defined as N = S+I. Show in this case that you can reduce the above system to the single differential equation for I.
