In this manuscript we propose a numerical method for non-linear integro-differential systems arising in age-of-infection models in a heterogeneously mixed population. The discrete scheme is based on direct quadrature methods and provides an unconditionally positive and bounded solution. Furthermore, we prove the existence of the numerical final size of the epidemic and show that it tends to its continuous equivalent as the discretization steplength vanishes.

Abstract
In this manuscript we propose a numerical method for non-linear integro-differential systems arising in age-of-infection models in a heterogeneously mixed population. The discrete scheme is based on direct quadrature methods and provides an unconditionally positive and bounded solution. Furthermore, we prove the existence of the numerical final size of the epidemic and show that it tends to its continuous equivalent as the discretization steplength vanishes.File in questo prodotto:
