چکیده

A logistic matrix model for age-structured population dynamics is constructed. This model discretizes a continuous, density-dependent model with age structure, i.e. it is an extension of the logistic model to the case of age-dependence. We prove the existence and uniqueness of its equilibrium and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the local stability of the equilibrium.

Dynamical behavior of a stage structured prey-predator model

In this paper, a new stage structured prey-predator model with linear functional response is proposed and studied. The stages for prey have been considered. The proposed mathematical model consists of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations to describe the interaction among juvenile prey, adult prey and predator populations. The model is analyzed by using linear stability analysis to ob...

AIDS Epidemic Modeling With Different Demographic Structures

The most urgent public health problem today is to devise effective strategies to minimize the destruction caused by the AIDS epidemic. Mathematical models based on the underlying transmission mechanisms of the AIDS virus can help the medical/scientific community understand and anticipate its spread in different populations and evaluate the potential effectiveness of different approaches for bri...

Stability and Bifurcation of an SIS Epidemic Model with Saturated Incidence Rate and Treatment Function

       In this paper an SIS epidemic model with saturated incidence rate and treatment func- tion is proposed and studied. The existence of all feasible equilibrium points is discussed. The local stability conditions of the disease free equilibrium point and endemic equilibrium point are established with the help of basic reproduction number.However the global stabili- ty conditions of these eq...

Center manifold analysis and Hopf bifurcation of within-host virus model

A mathematical model of a within-host viral infection is presented. A local stability analysis of the model is conducted in two ways. At first, the basic reproduction number of the system is calculated. It is shown that when the reproduction number falls below unity, the disease free equilibrium (DFE) is globally asymptotically stable, and when it exceeds unity, the DFE is unstable and there ex...

ON THE STABILITY AND THRESHOLD ANALYSIS OF AN EPIDEMIC MODEL

We consider a mathematical model of epidemic spread  in which the  population  is partitioned  into five compartments of susceptible S(t), Infected I(t), Removed R(t), Prevented U(t) and the Controlled W(t). We assume each of the compartments comprises of cohorts of individuals which are  identical with respect to the disease status. We derive five systems of equations to represent each of the ...
