The risk index for an SIR epidemic model and spatial spreading of the infectious disease by Min Zhu, Xiaofei Guo, Zhigui Lin

“…Our results suggest that the disease must spread if $R^F_0(t_0)≥q 1$ for some $t_0$ and the disease is vanishing if $R^F_0(∞) \lt 1$, while if $R^F_0(0) \lt 1$, the spreading or vanishing of the disease depends on the initial state of infected individuals as well as the expanding capability of the free boundary. We also illustrate the impacts of the expanding capability on the spreading fronts via the numerical simulations.…”

A Collaborative Scheduling Model for the Supply-Hub with Multiple Suppliers and Multiple Manufacturers by Guo Li, Fei Lv, Xu Guan

“…The results show that our scheduling model with the Supply-Hub is a NP-complete problem, therefore, we propose an auto-adapted differential evolution algorithm to solve this problem. Moreover, we illustrate that the performance of collaborative scheduling by the Supply-Hub is superior to separate decision made by each manufacturer and supplier. …”
