Stochastic Dynamics of an SIRS Epidemic Model with Ratio-Dependent Incidence Rate

We investigate the complex dynamics of an epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate of saturated mass action which depends on the ratio of the number of infectious individuals to that of susceptible individuals. We first deal with the boundedness, dissipation, persistence, and the stability of th...
