Abstract:
Discrete and stochastic version of a susceptible-infective model system with nonlinear incidence rate is investigated. We observe that the discrete system converges to a unique equilibrium point for certain effective transmission rate of the disease and beyond which stability of the system is disturbed. Stochastic analysis suggests that the model system is globally asymptotically stable in probability for certain strengths of white noise. Numerical simulations are also performed to validate the results.
