cord-346075-q4jbqsh1	Rohith, G.	Dynamics and control of COVID-19 pandemic with nonlinear incidence rates	2020-06-25		.txt	text/plain	6127	375	54	This work attempts to analyse the dynamics of COVID-19 outbreak using the SEIR model, with nonlinear incident rate, with the help of bifurcation theory. Motivated from this, this paper also presents a model-based closed-loop solution to control COVID-19 pandemic by the synthesis of appropriate threshold on Government control variable α, using the technique of sliding mode control (SMC). If one can adopt a methodology to gradually introduce some relaxations to the public (as incentives) in the Government action (α) with a specific target (like limiting the number of exposed/infected people to a smaller threshold value), that could serve as a better alternative to control a global pandemic like COVID-19. Figure 9 presents the comparison between the COVID-19 transmission trend as suggested by the SEIR model with a nonlinear incidence rate function and real-time data for India [37] .	./cache/cord-346075-q4jbqsh1.txt	./txt/cord-346075-q4jbqsh1.txt
