Abstract |
| A generalization of the threshold Whittle's theorem of mathematical epidemic theory is made for a case when a number of susceptibles infected by an end of an epidemic is near its extremal values. It allows to give qualitative long-term prognosis of epidemic's damage. An algorythm of fast and precise calculation of a distribution of epidemic's damage for small meanings which correspond to short-term prognosis is constructed. |
