Stability Analysis of a Delayed SIR Epidemic Model with Stage Structure and Nonlinear Incidence

We investigate the stability of an SIR epidemic model with stage structure and time delay. By analyzing the eigenvalues of the corresponding characteristic equation, the local stability of each feasible equilibrium of the model is established. By using comparison arguments, it is proved when the bas...
