A stochastic SIRI epidemic model with Lévy noise
Some diseases such as herpes, bovine and human tuberculosis exhibit
relapse in which the recovered individuals do not acquit permanent immunity
but return to infectious class. Such diseases are modeled by SIRI models.
In this paper, we establish the existence of a unique global positive solution
for a stochastic epidemic model with relapse and jumps. We also investigate
the dynamic properties of the solution around both disease-free and endemic
equilibria points of the deterministic model. Furthermore, we present some
numerical results to support the theoretical work
Threshold Dynamics in Stochastic SIRS Epidemic Models with Nonlinear Incidence and Vaccination
In this paper, the dynamical behaviors for a stochastic SIRS epidemic model with nonlinear incidence and vaccination are investigated. In the models, the disease transmission coefficient and the removal rates are all affected by noise. Some new basic properties of the models are found. Applying these properties, we establish a series of new threshold conditions on the stochastically exponential extinction, stochastic persistence, and permanence in the mean of the disease with probability one for the models. Furthermore, we obtain a sufficient condition on the existence of unique stationary distribution for the model. Finally, a series of numerical examples are introduced to illustrate our main theoretical results and some conjectures are further proposed
A Probabilistic SIRI Epidemic Model Incorporating Incidence Capping and Logistic Population Expansion
This study presents a newly developed stochastic SIRI epidemic model, which combines logistic growth with a saturation incidence rate. This research mainly examines the presence and uniqueness of positive solutions within the formulated model. Furthermore, we aim to analyze the long-term performance of the system and provide valuable insights into disease extinction in a population. Our investigation delves into the conditions required for disease extinction, which are crucial in predicting and controlling the spread of deadly diseases. To substantiate our assertions, we have devised a stochastic Lyapunov function, which serves as a robust mathematical framework for demonstrating the presence of a discernible stationary ergodic distribution. This mathematical foundation significantly contributes to the understanding of model behavior. To complement our analytical findings, we conduct numerical simulations, which reinforce our results and provide a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of our proposed model, and open new avenues for future research in this area
