Identifiability analysis of an epidemiological model in a structured population

We investigate the parameter identifiability problem for a system of nonlinear integro-partial differential equations of transport type, representing the spread of a disease with a long infectious but undetectable period in an individual population. After obtaining the expression of the model input-output relationships, we give sufficient conditions on the initial and boundary conditions of the system that guarantee the parameter identifiability on a finite time horizon. We finally illustrate our findings with numerical simulations.
