A theta-scheme approximation of basic reproduction number for an age-structured epidemic system in a finite horizon
This paper focuses on numerical approximation of the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$, which is the threshold defined by the spectral radius of the next-generation operator in epidemiology. Generally speaking, $\mathcal{R}_0$ cannot be explicitly calculated for most age-structured epidemic...
