The Basic Reproduction Number

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we are concerned with the dynamics of a diffusive SIRI epidemic model with heterogeneous parameters and distinct dispersal rates for the susceptible and infected individuals. We first establish the basic properties of solutions to the model, and then identify the basic reproduction number <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \mathscr{R}_{0} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> which serves as a threshold parameter that predicts whether epidemics will persist or become globally extinct. Moreover, we study the asymptotic profiles of the positive steady state as the dispersal rate of the susceptible or infected individuals approaches zero. Our analytical results reveal that the epidemics can be extinct by limiting the movement of the susceptible individuals, and the infected individuals concentrate on certain points in some circumstances when limiting their mobility.</p>

Heroin Model

This paper is concerned with a reaction-diffusion heroin model in a bound domain. The objective of this paper is to explore the threshold dynamics based on threshold parameter and basic reproduction number (BRN) ℜ0, and it is proved that if ℜ0<1, heroin spread will be extinct, while if ℜ0>1, heroin spread is uniformly persistent and there exists a positive heroin-spread steady state. We also obtain that the explicit formula of ℜ0 and global attractiveness of constant positive steady state (PSS) when all parameters are positive constants. Our simulation results reveal that compared to the homogeneous setting, the spatial heterogeneity has essential impacts on increasing the risk of heroin spread.

Asymptotic Periodicity

This paper is concerned with a diffusive West Nile virus model (WNv) in a heterogeneous environment. The basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] for spatially homogeneous model is first introduced. We then define a threshold parameter [Formula: see text] for the corresponding diffusive WNv model in a heterogeneous environment. It is shown that if [Formula: see text], the model admits at least one nontrivial T-periodic solution, whereas if [Formula: see text], the model has no nontrivial T-periodic solution. By means of monotone iterative schemes, the true solution can be obtained and the asymptotic behavior of periodic solutions is presented. The paper is closed with some numerical simulations to illustrate our theoretical results.
