The long-time behavior of a stochastic SIR epidemic model with distributed delay and multidimensional Lévy jumps

This paper reports novel theoretical and analytical results for a perturbed version of a SIR model with Gamma-distributed delay. Notably, our epidemic model is represented by Itô–Lévy stochastic differential equations in order to simulate sudden and unexpected external phenomena. By using some new and ameliorated mathematical approaches, we study the long-run characteristics of the perturbed delayed model. Within this scope, we give sufficient conditions for two interesting asymptotic properties: extinction and persistence of the epidemic. One of the most interesting results is that the dynamics of the stochastic model are closely related to the intensities of white noises and Lévy jumps, which can give us a good insight into the evolution of the epidemic in some unexpected situations. Our work complements the results of some previous investigations and provides a new approach to predict and analyze the dynamic behavior of epidemics with distributed delay. For illustrative purposes, numerical examples are presented for checking the theoretical study.

Dynamics of a stochastic Holling II predator-prey model with Lévy jumps and habitat complexity

This paper investigates a stochastic Holling II predator-prey model with Lévy jumps and habit complexity. It is first proved that the established model admits a unique global positive solution by employing the Lyapunov technique, and the stochastic ultimate boundedness of this positive solution is also obtained. Sufficient conditions are established for the extinction and persistence of this solution. Moreover, some numerical simulations are carried out to support the obtained results.

Optimal harvesting strategies of a stochastic competitive model with S-type distributed time delays and Lévy jumps

The aim of this paper is to investigate the optimal harvesting strategies of a stochastic competitive Lotka–Volterra model with S-type distributed time delays and Lévy jumps by using ergodic method. Firstly, the sufficient conditions for extinction and stable in the time average of each species are established under some suitable assumptions. Secondly, under a technical assumption, the stability in distribution of this model is proved. Then the sufficient and necessary criteria for the existence of optimal harvesting policy are established under the condition that all species are persistent. Moreover, the explicit expression of the optimal harvesting effort and the maximum of sustainable yield are given.

Analysis of a Stochastic Competitive Model with Distributed Time Delays and Jumps in a Polluted Environment

In this paper, a stochastic competitive model with distributed time delays and Lévy jumps is formulated. With or without a polluted environment, the model is denoted by (M) or (M0), respectively. The existence of positive solution, persistence in mean, and extinction of species for (M) and (M0) are both studied. The sufficient criteria of stability in distribution for model (M) is obtained. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate our theoretical results.

Dynamics and optimal harvesting of a stochastic predator-prey system with regime switching, S-type distributed time delays and Lévy jumps

<abstract><p>This work is concerned with a stochastic predator-prey system with S-type distributed time delays, regime switching and Lévy jumps. By use of the stochastic differential comparison theory and some inequality techniques, we study the extinction and persistence in the mean for each species, asymptotic stability in distribution and the optimal harvesting effort of the model. Then we present some simulation examples to illustrate the theoretical results and explore the effects of regime switching, distributed time delays and Lévy jumps on the dynamical behaviors, respectively.</p></abstract>
