In this paper, we study the question of existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations with general anisotropic diffusivity and transport effects, supplemented with no-flux boundary conditions, modeling the spread of an epidemic disease through a heterogeneous habitat.
We give a survey of results on global stability for deterministic compartmental epidemiological
models. Using Lyapunov techniques we revisit a classical result, and give a simple proof.
By the same methods we also give a new result on differential susceptibility and infectivity models
with mass action and an arbitrary number of compartments. These models encompass the so-called
differential infectivity and staged progression models. In the two cases we prove that if the basic
reproduction ratio...
We present a unified mathematical approach to epidemiological models with parametric
heterogeneity, i.e., to the models that describe individuals in the population as having
specific parameter (trait) values that vary from one individuals to another. This is a
natural framework to model, e.g., heterogeneity in susceptibility or infectivity of
individuals. We review, along with the necessary theory, the results obtained using the
discussed approach....
An SEIR model with periodic coefficients in epidemiology is considered. The global existence of periodic solutions with strictly positive components for this model is established by using the method of coincidence degree. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for the global stability of this model is obtained. An example based on the transmission of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is included.
