چکیده
ABSTRACT. For a class of multigroup SIR epidemic models with varying subpopulation sizes, we establish that the global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproduction number R0. More specifically, we prove that, if R0 ≤ 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; if R0 > 1, then there exists a unique endemic equilibrium and it is globally asymptotically stable in the interior of the feasible region. Our proof of global stability utilizes the method of global Lyapunov functions and results from graph theory.

Dynamics of a Delayed Epidemic Model with Beddington-DeAngelis Incidence Rate and a Constant Infectious Period
In this paper, an SIR epidemic model with an infectious period and a non-linear Beddington-DeAngelis type incidence rate function is considered. The dynamics of this model depend on the reproduction number R0. Accurately, if R0 < 1, we show the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation and using compa...
متن کاملGlobal stability of the endemic equilibrium of multigroup SIR models with nonlinear incidence
In this paper, we introduce a basic reproduction number for a multigroup epidemic model with nonlinear incidence. Then, we establish that global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproduction number R0. It shows that, the basic reproduction number R0 is a global threshold parameter in the sense that if it is less than or equal to one, the disease free equilibrium is globally stabl...

متن کاملGlobal stability for delay SIR epidemic model with vertical transmission
A SIR epidemic model with delay, saturated contact rate and vertical transmission is considered. The basic reproduction number 0 R is calculated. It is shown that this number characterizes the disease transmission dynamics: if 0 1 R , there only exists the disease-free equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable; if 0 1 R , there is a unique endemic equilibrium and the disease persists,...
متن کاملGlobal stability for a class of discrete SIR epidemic models.
In this paper, we propose a class of discrete SIR epidemic models which are derived from SIR epidemic models with distributed delays by using a variation of the backward Euler method. Applying a Lyapunov functional technique, it is shown that the global dynamics of each discrete SIR epidemic model are fully determined by a single threshold parameter and the effect of discrete time delays are ha...
