In this paper, we are concerned with the global asymptotic behavior of an SIR epidemic model with infection age-space structure. Under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, we first reformulate the model into the coupled reaction-diffusion and difference system by using the method of characteristics. We then obtain the spatially heterogeneous disease-free steady state and define the basic reproduction number ℛ0 by the spectral radius of the next generation operator. We then show the existence and uniqueness of the global classical solution by constructing suitable upper and lower solutions. As a threshold result, we establish that the disease-free steady state is globally attractive if ℛ0 < 1, whereas the system is uniformly weakly persistent in norm if ℛ0 > 1. Finally, numerical simulations are exhibited to illustrate our theoretical results together with how to compute ℛ0.

SIR epidemic model with nonlinear pulse vaccination and lifelong immunity is proposed. Due to the limited medical resources, vaccine immunization rate is considered as a nonlinear saturation function. Firstly, by using stroboscopic map and fixed point theory of difference equations, the existence of disease-free periodic solution is discussed, and the globally asymptotical stability of disease-free periodic solution is proven by using Floquet multiplier theory and differential impulsive comparison theorem. Moreover, by using the bifurcation theorem, sufficient condition for the existence of positive periodic solution is obtained by choosing impulsive vaccination period as a bifurcation parameter. Lastly, some simulations are given to validate the theoretical results.

A Lotka-Volterra competition model with cross-diffusions under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is considered, where cross-diffusions are included in such a way that the two species run away from each other because of the competition between them. Using the method of upper and lower solutions, sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions are provided when the cross-diffusions are sufficiently small. Furthermore, the investigation of nonexistence of positive solutions is also presented.

We discuss a stochastic SIR epidemic model with vaccination. We investigate the asymptotic behavior according to the perturbation and the reproduction numberR0. We deduce the globally asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium whenR0≤ 1and the perturbation is small, which means that the disease will die out. WhenR0>1, we derive that the disease will prevail, which is measured through the difference between the solution and the endemic equilibrium of the deterministic model in time average. The key to our analysis is choosing appropriate Lyapunov functions.

Boundedness Of Solution

In this paper, we construct a backward difference scheme for a class of general SIR epidemic model with general incidence function f. We use the step size h > 0, for the discretization. The dynamical properties are investigated (positivity and the boundedness of solution). By constructing the Lyapunov function, under the conditions that function f satisfies some assumptions. The global stabilities of equilibria are obtained. If the basic reproduction number R0<1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. If R0>1, the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.

An SIR epidemic model with saturated treatment function and nonlinear pulse vaccination is studied. The existence and stability of the disease-free periodic solution are investigated. The sufficient conditions for the persistence of the disease are obtained. The existence of the transcritical and flip bifurcations is considered by means of the bifurcation theory. The stability of epidemic periodic solutions is discussed. Furthermore, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate our results.

In this paper, we study the qualitative behavior of a discrete-time epidemic model. More precisely, we investigate equilibrium points, asymptotic stability of both disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium. Furthermore, by using comparison method, we obtain the global stability of these equilibrium points under certain parametric conditions. Some illustrative examples are provided to support our theoretical discussion.
