Global threshold dynamics of an age structured alcoholism model

We consider in this research an age-structured alcoholism model.The global behavior of the model is investigated.It is proved that the system has a threshold dynamics in terms of the basic reproduction number(BRN),where we obtained that alcohol-free equilibrium(AFE)is globally asymptotically stable(GAS)in the case R_(0)≤1,but for R_(0)>1 we found that the system persists and the nontrivial equilibrium(EE)is GAS.Furthermore,the effects of the susceptible drinkers rate and the repulse rate of the recovers to alcoholics are investigated,which allow us to provide a proper strategy for reducing the spread of alcohol use in the studied populations.The obtained mathematical results are tested numerically next to its biological relevance.
