Abstract:
In this work we compare two structurally different modeling approaches for the simulation of an age-dependent SIR (susceptible, infected, recovered) type epidemic spread: a microscopic agent-based model and a macroscopic integro-partial differential equation model. Doing so we put a newly derived Mean-Field Theorem for mixed state-spaces (continuous and discrete) to the test. Afterwards both models are executed and compared for two abstract scenarios to confirm the derived asymptotic equivalence.
