COEXISTENCE FOR MULTIPLE LARGEST REPRODUCTION RATIOS OF A MULTI-STRAIN SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL

In this paper, to complete the global dynamics of a multi-strains SIS epidemic model, we establish a precise result on coexistence for the cases of the partial and complete duplicated multiple largest reproduction ratios for this model.     

Stationary distribution of stochastic SIS epidemic model with vaccination under regime switching

This paper addresses a stochastic SIS epidemic model with vaccination under regime switching. The stochastic model in this paper includes white and color noises. By constructing stochastic Lyapunov functions with regime switching, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution.     

具有接种的确定性和随机SIS流行病模型的全局稳定性

We study the stability of endemic equilibriums of the deterministic and stochastic SIS epidemic models with vaccination. The deterministic SIS epidemic model with vaccination was proposed by Li and Ma(2004), for which some sufficient conditions for the global stability of the endemic equilibrium were given in some earlier works. In this paper, we first prove by Lyapunov function method that the endemic equilibrium of the deterministic model is globally asymptotically stable whenever the basic reproduction number is larger than one. For the stochastic version, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the global stability of the endemic equilibrium by constructing a class of different Lyapunov functions.     

ANALYSIS OF A SUSCEPTIBLE-EXPOSED-INFECTED EPIDEMIC MODEL WITH RANDOM PERTURBATION AND VARYING POPULATION SIZE

In this paper, we study a type of susceptible-exposed-infected (SEI) epidemic model with varying population size and introduce the random perturbation of the constant contact rate into the SEI epidemic model due to the universal existence of fluctuations. Under some moderate conditions, the density of the exposed and the infected individuals exponentially approaches zero almost surely are derived. Furthermore, the stochastic SEI epidemic model admits a stationary distribution around the endemic equilibrium, and the solution is ergodic. Some numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the efficiency of the main results.

GLOBAL ANALYSIS OF SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL WITH A SIMPLE VACCINATION AND MULTIPLE ENDEMIC EQUILIBRIA

An SIS epidemic model with a simple vaccination is investigated in this article. The efficiency of vaccine, the disease-related death rate and population dynamics are also considered in this model. The authors find two threshold R0 and Rc (Rc may not exist). There is a unique endemic equilibrium for R0 > 1 or Rc = R0; there are two endemic equilibria for Rc < R0 < 1; and there is no endemic equilibrium for R0 < Rc < 1. When Rc exists, there is a backward bifurcation from the disease-free equilibrium for R0 = 1. They analyze the stability of equilibria and obtain the globally dynamic behaviors of the model. The results acquired in this article show that an accurate estimation of the efficiency of vaccine is necessary to prevent and controll the spread of disease.     

Dynamical behavior of a hybrid switching SIS epidemic model with vaccination and Lévy jumps

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of a hybrid switching SIS epidemic model with vaccination and Lévy jumps is considered. Besides a standard geometric Brownian motion, another two driving processes are taken into account: a stationary Poisson point process and a continuous time finite-state Markov chain. Firstly, we establish sufficient conditions for persistence in the mean of the disease. Then we obtain sufficient conditions for extinction of the disease. In addition, we also establish sufficient conditions for the existence of positive recurrence of the solutions to the model by constructing a suitable stochastic Lyapunov function with regime switching.     

An individual-based modeling framework for infectious disease spreading in clustered complex networks

We introduce an individual-based model with dynamical equations for susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemics on clustered networks. Linking the mean-field and quenched mean-field models, a general method for deriving a cluster approximation for three-node loops in complex networks is proposed. The underlying epidemic threshold condition is derived by using the quasi-static approximation. Our method thus extends the pair quenched mean-field (pQMF) approach for SIS disease spreading in unclustered networks to the scenario of epidemic outbreaks in clustered systems with abundant transitive relationships.We found that clustering can significantly alter the epidemic threshold, depending nontrivially on topological details of the underlying population structure. The validity of our method is verified through the existence of bounded solutions to the clustered pQMF model equations, and is further attested via stochastic simulations on homogeneous small-world artificial networks and growing scale-free synthetic networks with tunable clustering, as well as on real-world complex networked systems. Our method has vital implications for the future policy development and implementation of intervention measures in highly clustered networks, especially in the early stages of an epidemic in which clustering can decisively alter the growth of a contagious outbreak.

A new way of investigating the asymptotic behaviour of a stochastic SIS system with multiplicative noise

In this paper, we investigate a nonlinear stochastic SIS epidemic system with multiplicative noise. First, we transform the Itô’s integral into an equivalent Stratonovich integral. Then, by using the solution of Langevin equation and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, we prove that the system generates a random dynamical system which has a tempered compact random absorbing set, implying the condition for the extinction of the disease. Finally, the discussion and numerical simulation are given to demonstrate the obtained result.

Optimal control and numerical methods for hybrid stochastic SIS models

This work focuses on optimal controls of a class of stochastic SIS epidemic models under regime switching. By assuming that a decision maker can influence the infectivity period, our aim is to minimize the expected discounted cost due to illness, medical treatment, and the adverse effect on the society. In addition, a model with the incorporation of vaccination is proposed. Numerical schemes are developed by approximating the continuous-time dynamics using Markov chain approximation methods. It is demonstrated that the approximation schemes converge to the optimal strategy as the mesh size goes to zero. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate our results.     

Stochastic contagion models without immunity: their long term behaviour and the optimal level of treatment

In this paper we analyze two stochastic versions of one of the simplest classes of contagion models, namely so-called SIS models. Several formulations of such models, based on stochastic differential equations, have been recently discussed in literature, mainly with a focus on the existence and uniqueness of stationary distributions. With applicability in view, the present paper uses the Fokker–Planck equations related to SIS stochastic differential equations, not only in order to derive basic facts, but also to derive explicit expressions for stationary densities and further characteristics related to the asymptotic behaviour. Two types of models are analyzed here: The first one is a version of the SIS model with external parameter noise and saturated incidence. The second one is based on the Kramers–Moyal approximation of the simple SIS Markov chain model, which leads to a model with scaled additive noise. In both cases we analyze the asymptotic behaviour, which leads to limiting stationary distributions in the first case and limiting quasistationary distributions in the second case. Finally, we use the derived properties for analyzing the decision problem of choosing the cost-optimal level of treatment intensity.

Bifurcation analysis of a population model and the resulting SIS epidemic model with delay

This paper deals with the model for matured population growth proposed in Cooke et al. [Interaction of matiration delay and nonlinear birth in population and epidemic models, J. Math. Biol. 39 (1999) 332–352] and the resulting SIS epidemic model. The dynamics of these two models are still largely undetermined, and in this paper, we perform some bifurcation analysis to the models. By applying the global bifurcation theory for functional differential equations, we are able to show that the population model allows multiple periodic solutions. For the SIS model, we obtain some local bifurcation results and derive formulas for determining the bifurcation direction and the stability of the bifurcated periodic solution.     

A note on the global behaviour of the network-based SIS epidemic model

In this note we introduce the study of the global behaviour of the network-based SIS epidemic model recently proposed by Pastor-Satorras and Vespignani [Epidemic spreading in scale-free networks, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 (2001) 3200], characterized in case of homogeneous scale-free networks by a very small epidemic threshold, and extended by Olinky and Stone [Unexpected epidemic threshold in heterogeneous networks: the role of disease transmission, Phys. Rev. E 70 (2004) 03902(r)]. We show that the above model may be read as a particular case of the classical multi-group SIS model proposed by Lajmainovitch and Yorke [A deterministic model for gonorrhea in a nonhomogeneous population, Math. Biosci. 28 (1976) 221] and extended by Aronsson and Mellander [A deterministic model in biomathematics. Asymptotic behaviour and threshold conditions, Math. Biosci. 49 (1980) 207]. Thus, by applying the methods used for SIS multi-group models, we straightforwardly show, for the first time, that the local conditions identified in the physics literature also determine the global behaviour of a disease spreading on a network. Finally, we briefly study the case in which the force of infection is non-linear, by showing that multiple coexisting equilibria are possible, and by giving a global threshold condition for the extinction.
