A branching process with contact tracing

Speaker: Martin Barlow

Date: Tue, Jun 23, 2020

Location: Zoom

Conference: CAIMS - PIMS Coronavirus Modelling Conference

Subject: Mathematics, Mathematical Biology

Class: Scientific

Abstract:

I will look at a simple theoretical model of a standard branching process with branchers removed by a contact tracing procedure. The talk will identify the parameter range in which the contact tracing is able to make the process sub- critical.
