We discuss a novel epidemic SIRS model with time delay on a scale-free network in this paper. We give an equation of the basic reproductive number R 0 for the model and prove that the disease-free equilibrium is globally attractive and that the disease dies out when R 0 < 1, while the disease is uniformly persistent when R 0 > 1. In addition, by using a suitable Lyapunov function, we establish a set of sufficient conditions on the global attractiveness of the endemic equilibrium of the system.
A novel [Formula: see text] epidemic spreading model with distributed delay on complex heterogeneous network is presented. The formula of the basic reproductive number is presented to the model. It is proven that the disease dies out if the basic reproductive number is less than unity, while if the basic reproductive number is more than unity, the disease is uniformly persistent. The results enrich the previous results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
