The stability analysis of an epidemic model with saturating incidence and age-structure in the exposed and infectious classes

Abstract In this paper, an HBV epidemic model that incorporates saturating incidence and age-structure in the exposed and infectious classes is proposed. We study the asymptotic smoothness of semi-flow generated by the model. By calculating the basic reproduction number and analyzing the characteris...
