We study a class of discrete SIRS epidemic models with nonlinear incidence rateF(S)G(I)and disease-induced mortality. By using analytic techniques and constructing discrete Lyapunov functions, the global stability of disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium is obtained. That is, if basic reproduction numberℛ0<1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and ifℛ0>1, then the model has a unique endemic equilibrium and when some additional conditions hold the endemic equilibrium also is globally asymptotically stable. By using the theory of persistence in dynamical systems, we further obtain that only whenℛ0>1, the disease in the model is permanent. Some special cases ofF(S)G(I)are discussed. Particularly, whenF(S)G(I)=βSI/(1+λI), it is obtained that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if and only ifℛ0>1. Furthermore, the numerical simulations show that for general incidence rateF(S)G(I)the endemic equilibrium may be globally asymptotically stable only asℛ0>1.

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a fractional-order epidemic model with general nonlinear incidence rate functionals and time-delay. We investigate the local and global stability of the steady-states. We deduce the basic reproductive threshold parameter, so that if R0<1, the disease-free steady-state is locally and globally asymptotically stable. However, for R0>1, there exists a positive (endemic) steady-state which is locally and globally asymptotically stable. A Holling type III response function is considered in the numerical simulations to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

In this paper, a class of SEIQV epidemic model with general nonlinear incidence rate is investigated. By constructing Lyapunov function, it is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number ℛ0≤ 1. If ℛ0> 1, we show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable by applying Li and Muldowney geometric approach.

In this paper, we discuss the SIVS epidemic models with vertical transmission and nonlinear incidence rate. We study the stability properties of pulse vaccination strategy in the models and obtain the sufficient condition for which the epidemic elimination solution is globally asymptotically stable.

In this paper, a reaction–diffusion SEI epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate is proposed. The well-posedness of solutions is studied, including the existence of positive and unique classical solution and the existence and the ultimate boundedness of global solutions. The basic reproduction numbers are given in both heterogeneous and homogeneous environments. For spatially heterogeneous environment, by the comparison principle of the diffusion system, the infection-free steady state is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text], the system will be persistent and admit at least one positive steady state. For spatially homogenous environment, by constructing a Lyapunov function, the infection-free steady state is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] and then the unique positive steady state is achieved and is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text]. Finally, two examples are given via numerical simulations, and then some control strategies are also presented by the sensitive analysis.

We study an SEIRS epidemic model with an isolation and nonlinear incidence rate function. We have obtained a threshold value [Formula: see text] and shown that there is only a disease-free equilibrium point, when [Formula: see text] and an endemic equilibrium point if [Formula: see text]. We have shown that both disease-free and endemic equilibrium point are globally stable.

We study an epidemic model with a nonlinear incidence rate which describes the psychological effect of certain serious diseases on the community when the ratio of the number of infectives to that of the susceptibles is getting larger. The model has set up a challenging issue regarding its dynamics near the origin since it is not well defined there. By carrying out a global analysis of the model and studying the stabilities of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium, it is shown that either the number of infective individuals tends to zero as time evolves or the disease persists. Computer simulations are presented to illustrate the results.

We study a delayed SIR epidemic model and get the threshold value which determines the global dynamics and outcome of the disease. First of all, for anyτ, we show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; whenR0<1, the disease will die out. Directly afterwards, we prove that the endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable for anyτ=0; whenR0>1, the disease will persist. However, for anyτ≠0, the existence conditions for Hopf bifurcations at the endemic equilibrium are obtained. Besides, we compare the delayed SIR epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate to the one with bilinear incidence rate. At last, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate and verify the conclusions.

This paper considers an SEIQS model with nonlinear incidence rate. By means of Lyapunov function and LaSalle’s invariant set theorem, we proved the global asymptotical stable results of the disease-free equilibrium. It is then obtained the sufficent conditions for the global stability of the endemic equilibrium by the compound matrix theory. In addition, we also study the phenomena of limit cycle of the systems with the numerical simulations.

In this paper, an SIQR (Susceptible, Infected, Quarantined, Recovered) epidemic model with vaccination, elimination, and quarantine hybrid strategies is proposed, and the dynamics of this model are analyzed by both theoretical and numerical means. Firstly, the basic reproduction number R 0 , which determines whether the disease is extinct or not, is derived. Secondly, by LaSalles invariance principle, it is proved that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R 0 < 1 , and the disease dies out. By Routh-Hurwitz criterion theory, we also prove that the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the unique endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R 0 > 1 . Thirdly, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, we obtain that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease persists at this endemic equilibrium if it initially exists when R 0 > 1 . Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analysis results.
