Abstract We prove that, for Poisson transmission and recovery processes, the classic susceptible→infected→recovered (SIR) epidemic model of Kermack and McKendrick provides, for any given time t>0, a strict lower bound on the expected number of susceptibles and a strict upper bound on the expected number of recoveries in the general stochastic SIR epidemic. The proof is based on the recent message passing representation of SIR epidemics applied to a complete graph.

AbstractIn this paper, we study a novel deterministic and stochastic SIR epidemic model with vertical transmission and media coverage. For the deterministic model, we give the basic reproduction number $R_{0}$ R 0 which determines the extinction or prevalence of the disease. In addition, for the stochastic model, we prove existence and uniqueness of the positive solution, and extinction and persistence in mean. Furthermore, we give numerical simulations to verify our results.

In this article, a stochastic SIR epidemic model with treatment rate in a population of varying size is proposed and investigated. For the stochastic version, we briefly discuss the existence of global unique solutions and using the Lyapunov function, the disease free equilibrium solution is globally asymptotic stabe if $\mathcal{R}_0\leq1$ and the endemic equilibrium solution is obtained when $\mathcal{R}_0>1$. The main attention is paid to the $p$th-moment exponentially stable on the system, proved under suitable assumptions on the white noise perturbations and the optimal control for the deterministic model. Finally numerical simulations are done to show our theoretical results and to demonstrate the complicated dynamics of the model.

We investigate a stochastic SIR epidemic model with specific nonlinear incidence rate. The stochastic model is derived from the deterministic epidemic model by introducing random perturbations around the endemic equilibrium state. The effect of random perturbations on the stability behavior of endemic equilibrium is discussed. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
