It is proved that the proposed model admits a unique global positive solution for any initial value in $(0,N)$ and that the numerical solution converges strongly to the exact solution with order $\alpha$.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose and analyze a diffusion time-changed susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model driven by time-changed Brownian motion. We prove that the proposed model admits a unique global positive solution for any initial value in $(0,N)$. The extinction and persistence of the disease are then investigated. To approximate the diffusion time-changed SIS model, we construct a positivity-preserving logarithmic Euler-Maruyama (LEM) method. Assuming that the time-changed is given by the inverse of a standard $\alpha$-stable subordinator with $\alpha\in(0,1)$, we prove that the numerical solution converges strongly to the exact solution with order $\alpha$. Finally, numerical experiments are provided to confirm the predicted convergence rates and illustrate the positivity-preserving property of the proposed method.

Threshold dynamics of a time-periodic nonlocal dispersal SIS epidemic model with saturated incidence function and Neumann boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider a time-periodic nonlocal dispersal susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model with saturated incidence and Neumann boundary conditions in a spatiotemporally heterogeneous environment. First, we define the basic reproduction number for the model, which depends on dispersal rates, to...

A Mathematical Study of an SIS Epidemic Model: Global Asymptotic Stability Analysis and Construction of Nonstandard Numerical Schemes

The aim of this work is to provide a rigorous mathematical analysis of a well-known SIS epidemic model with a saturating contact rate. First, we establish the global asymptotic stability (GAS) of the model's equilibria by employing a suitable Lyapunov function in combination with the Poincar\'e--Bendixson theorem and t...

Stochastic Dynamics of an Epidemic-Behavior Model.

We incorporate stochastic fluctuations into an epidemic-behavior coevolution model and study its threshold dynamics and stationary distributions. By introducing the stochastic basic reproduction number R0σ, the behavioral threshold d, and two potential infection proportions RPσ,1 and RPσ,2, we establish conditions for...

Disease extinction in finite time for a continuous-time SIRS model

This paper addresses the problem of controlling the spread of an epidemic through a multiplicatively controlled SIRS model, in which the control input modulates the infection rate in a bilinear manner. Classical approaches based on asymptotic stability only guarantee disease eradication as time tends to infinity, which...
