The results of our mathematical analysis indicate that the basic reproduction number plays an important role in studying the dynamics of the system. If the basic reproduction number is less than unity, it is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable by comparison arguments. If it is greater than unity, the system is permanent and there is a unique endemic equilibrium. In this case, sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the global stability of the endemic equilibrium by the theory of the compound matrices. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the main results.展开更多

By using the Rout^Hurwitz criteria, it is shown that if the basic reproduction number R0 〈 1, the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable. When the basic reproduction number exceeds the unity, then the endemic equilibrium exists and is stable locally asymptotically. The system is globally asymptotically stable about the disease-free equilibrium if R0 〈 1. The geometric approach is used to present the global stability of the endemic equilibrium. For R0〉 1, the endemic equilibrium is stable globally asymptotically. Finally, the numerical results are presented to justify the mathematical results.展开更多

By mathematical analysis, the basic reproduction number R0 is obtained. When R0 is less than one, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease dies out, while R0 is greater than one, the disease-free equilibrium becomes unstable and the disease is permanent, and in the meantime there exists a unique endemic equilibrium which is globally attrac- tive under certain conditions. Finally, the effects of various immunization schemes are studied. To verify our theoretical results, the corresponding numerical simulations are also included.展开更多

First, we formulate the model and obtain its basic properties. Then, we find the equilibrium points of the model, the disease-free and the endemic equilibrium. The stability of disease-free and endemic equilibrium is associated with the basic reproduction number R0. If the basic reproduction number R0〈 1, the disease- free equilibrium is locally as well as globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, if the basic reproduction number R0 〉 1, the disease is uniformly persistent and the unique endemic equilibrium of the system is locally as well as globally asymptotically stable under certain conditions. Finally, the numerical results justify the analytical results.展开更多

We have divided the total population into five classes, namely susceptible, exposed, infective, infective in treatment and recovered class. We have discussed about basic properties of the system and found the basic reproduction number （R0） of the system. The stability analysis of the model shows that the system is locally as well as globally asymptotically stable at disease-free equilibrium E0 when R0 〈1. When R0 〉1 endemic equilibrium E1 exists and the system becomes locally asymptotically stable at E1 under some conditions. We have also discussed the epidemic model with two controls, vaccination control and treatment control. An objective functional is considered which is based on a combination of minimizing the number of exposed and infective individuals and the cost of the vaccines and drugs dose. Then an optimal control pair is obtained which minimizes the objective functional. Our numerical findings are illustrated through computer simulations using MATLAB. Epidemiological implications of our analytical findings are addressed critically.展开更多

The epidemic threshold and equilibria for the model are determined, local stability and global stability of both the “Disease-Free Equilibrium” （DFE） and “Endemic Equilibrium” （EE） are discussed in detail. The DFE is shown to be locally and globally stable when the basic reproductive number R0 is less than unity. We also prove that the EE is locally and globally asymptotically stable under some conditions. Finally, numerical simulations are reported to support the analytical findings.展开更多

We derive and analyze a mathematical model that describes the dynamics of HIV infection among the immigrant youths and how parental care can minimize or prevent the spread of the disease in the population. We analyze the model with both screening control and parental care, then investigate its stability and sensitivity behavior. We also conduct both qualitative and quantitative analyses. It is observed that in the absence of infected youths, disease-free equilibrium is achievable and is globally asymptotically stable. We establish optimal strategies for the control of the disease with screening and parental care, and provide numerical simulations to illustrate the analytic results.展开更多

The occurrence of a backward bifurcation at R0 = 1 is shown to be possible, which implies that multiple endemic equilibria co-exist with a stable disease-free equilibrium when the basic repro- duction number is less than unity. This phenomenon is found to be caused by disease- induced human mortality. The global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium for R0 〉1 is proved, by using the geometric method for global stability. Therefore, the disease becomes endemic for R0〉 1 regardless of the number of initial cases in both the human and vector populations. Finally, the impact on system dynamics of vector＇s host preferences and bed-net usage behavior is investigated.展开更多

Compare to previous models, we consider the initiative response of people and the important impact of nodes with different edges on transmission rate as epidemics prevail. Furthermore, by constructing Lyapunov function, we prove that the disease-free equilibrium E^0 is globally asymptotically stable as the epidemic threshold R^＊〈 1. When R^＊ 〉 1, we obtain the permanence of epidemic and the local stability of endemic equilibrium E＊. Finally, one can find a good agreement between numerical simulations and our analytical results.展开更多

First, we derived the condition in which disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable and established that a stable disease-free equilibrium can only be achieved in the absence of infective immigrants. Second we investigated the impact of each control mechanism individually and the combinations of these strategies in the control of HCV. The costs associated with each of these strategies are also investigated by formulating the costs function problem as an optimal control problem, and we then use the Pontryagin＇s Maximum Principle to solve the optimal control problems. From the numerical simulations we found that the optimal combination of treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals control strategy produced the same results as the combination of the three strategies （combination of screening of immigrants, treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals）. By our model and these results, we suggest the treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals control strategy should be optimized where resources are scarce, because the implementation of the three strategies （combination of screening of immigrants, treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals） would imply additional cost.展开更多

We determine a basic reproduction number R0 which is chosen based on the relative ODE model, and establish that the global dynamics are determined by the threshold value R0. If R0 〈 1, then the infection-free equilibrium is global asymptotically stable, that is, the cholera dies out; If R0 〉 1, then the unique endemic equilibrium is global asymptotically stable, which means that the infection persists. The results obtained show that the delay does not lead to periodic oscillations. Finally, some numerical simulations support our theoretical results.展开更多

文摘A malaria model is formulated which includes the enhanced attractiveness of infectious humans to mosquitoes, as result of host manipulation by malaria parasite, and the human behavior, represented by insecticidetreated bed-nets usage. The occurrence of a backward bifurcation at R0 = 1 is shown to be possible, which implies that multiple endemic equilibria co-exist with a stable disease-free equilibrium when the basic repro- duction number is less than unity. This phenomenon is found to be caused by disease- induced human mortality. The global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium for R0 〉1 is proved, by using the geometric method for global stability. Therefore, the disease becomes endemic for R0〉 1 regardless of the number of initial cases in both the human and vector populations. Finally, the impact on system dynamics of vector＇s host preferences and bed-net usage behavior is investigated.

文摘In this paper, we consider a deterministic hepatitis C virus （HCV） model and study the impact of optimal control on the screening of immigrants and treatment of HCV on the transmission dynamics of the disease in a homogeneous population with constant immigration of susceptibles. First, we derived the condition in which disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable and established that a stable disease-free equilibrium can only be achieved in the absence of infective immigrants. Second we investigated the impact of each control mechanism individually and the combinations of these strategies in the control of HCV. The costs associated with each of these strategies are also investigated by formulating the costs function problem as an optimal control problem, and we then use the Pontryagin＇s Maximum Principle to solve the optimal control problems. From the numerical simulations we found that the optimal combination of treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals control strategy produced the same results as the combination of the three strategies （combination of screening of immigrants, treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals）. By our model and these results, we suggest the treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals control strategy should be optimized where resources are scarce, because the implementation of the three strategies （combination of screening of immigrants, treatment of acute-infected and chronic-infected individuals） would imply additional cost.

The results obtained show that the delay does not lead to periodic oscillations. Finally, some numerical simulations support our theoretical results.

文摘In this paper, a HTLV-I infection model with two delays is considered. It is found that the dynamics of this model are determined by two threshold parameters R0 and R1, basic reproduction numbers for viral infection and for CTL response, respectively. If R0 〈 1, the infection-free equilibrium P0 is globally asymptotically stable. If R1 〈 1 〈 R0, the asymptomatic-carrier equilibrium P1 is globally asymptotically stable. If R1 〉 1, there exists a unique HAM/TSP equilibrium P2. The stability of P2 is changed when the second delay T2 varies, that is there exist stability switches for P2.
