Stability results on age-structured SIS epidemic model with coupling impulsive effect

We develop an age-structured epidemic model for malaria with impulsive effect, and consider the effect of blood transfusion and infected-vector transmission. Transmission rates depend on age. We derive the condition in which eradication solution is locally asymptotically stable. The condition shows...
