Analysis of a disease transmission model in a population with varying size

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2277398





A new result is given to establish the nonexistence of periodic solutions which includes the criteria of Bendixson and Dulac as special cases. The authors discuss a SIRS epidemiological model with vital dynamics in a population of varying size: \[ dS/dt=bN-dS-\lambda SI/N+eR,\quad dI/dt=- (d+\epsilon +c)I+\lambda SI/N,\quad dR/dt=-(d+\delta +e)R+cI, \] N\(=S+I+R\) and the parameters b,d,\(\epsilon\),\(\delta\),c,e and \(\lambda\) are nonnegative. A complete global analysis is given which uses the new result to establish the nonexistence of periodic solutions. Results are discussed in terms of three threshold parameters which respectively govern the increase of the total population, the existence and stability of an endemic proportion equilibrium and the growth of the infective population.
