The Basic Reproduction Number of an Infectious Disease in a Stable Population: The Impact of Population Growth Rate on the Eradication Threshold

H. Inaba, H. Nishiura (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Although age-related heterogeneity of infection has been addressed in various epidemic models assuming a demographically stationary population, only a few studies have explicitly dealt with age-specific patterns of transmission in growing or decreasing population. To discuss the threshold principle realistically, the present study investigates an age-duration-structured SIR epidemic model assuming a stable host population, as the first scheme to account for the non-stationality of the host population....

The dynamic behaviors of a new impulsive predator prey model with impulsive control at different fixed moments

Lin Jun Wang, You Xiang Xie, Qi Cheng Deng (2018)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we propose a new impulsive predator prey model with impulsive control at different fixed moments and analyze its interesting dynamic behaviors. Sufficient conditions for the globally asymptotical stability of the semi-trivial periodic solution and the permanence of the present model are obtained by Floquet theory of impulsive differential equation and small amplitude perturbation skills. Existences of the "infection-free" periodic solution and the "predator-free" solution are analyzed...

The Speed of Epidemic Waves in a One-Dimensional Lattice of SIR Models

Igor Sazonov, Mark Kelbert, Michael B. Gravenor (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A one-dimensional lattice of SIR (susceptible/infected/removed) epidemic centres is considered numerically and analytically. The limiting solutions describing the behaviour of the standard SIR model with a small number of initially infected individuals are derived, and expressions found for the duration of an outbreak. We study a model for a weakly mixed population distributed between the interacting centres. The centres are modelled as SIR nodes with interaction between sites determined by a diffusion-type...
