Global stability of SIR models with nonlinear incidence and discontinuous treatment

In this article, we study an SIR model with nonlinear incidence rate. By defining the Filippov solution for the model and constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, we show that the global dynamics are fully determined by the basic reproduction number $R_0$, under certain conditions on the incide...

description In this article, we study an SIR model with nonlinear incidence rate. By defining the Filippov solution for the model and constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, we show that the global dynamics are fully determined by the basic reproduction number $R_0$, under certain conditions on the incidence rate and treatment functions. When $R_0\leq 1$ the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and when $R_0>1$ the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.
