In this paper, we formulate a stochastic logistic fish growth model driven by both white noise and non-Gaussian noise. We focus our study on the mean time to extinction, escape probability to measure the noise-induced extinction probability and the Fokker–Planck equation for fish population [Formula: see text]. In the Gaussian case, these quantities satisfy local partial differential equations while in the non-Gaussian case, they satisfy nonlocal partial differential equations. Following a discussion of existence, uniqueness and stability, we calculate numerical approximations of the solutions of those equations. For each noise model we then compare the behaviors of the mean time to extinction and the solution of the Fokker–Planck equation as growth rate [Formula: see text], carrying capacity [Formula: see text], intensity of Gaussian noise [Formula: see text], noise intensity [Formula: see text] and stability index [Formula: see text] vary. The MET from the interval [Formula: see text] at the right boundary is finite if [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], the MET from [Formula: see text] at this boundary is infinite. A larger stability index [Formula: see text] is less likely leading to the extinction of the fish population.
This work is devoted to the study of a stochastic logistic growth model with and without the Allee effect. Such a model describes the evolution of a population under environmental stochastic fluctuations and is in the form of a stochastic differential equation driven by multiplicative Gaussian noise. With the help of the associated Fokker–Planck equation, we analyze the population extinction probability and the probability of reaching a large population size before reaching a small one. We further study the impact of the harvest rate, noise intensity and the Allee effect on population evolution. The analysis and numerical experiments show that if the noise intensity and harvest rate are small, the population grows exponentially, and upon reaching the carrying capacity, the population size fluctuates around it. In the stochastic logistic-harvest model without the Allee effect, when noise intensity becomes small (or goes to zero), the stationary probability density becomes more acute and its maximum point approaches one. However, for large noise intensity and harvest rate, the population size fluctuates wildly and does not grow exponentially to the carrying capacity. So as far as biological meanings are concerned, we must catch at small values of noise intensity and harvest rate. Finally, we discuss the biological implications of our results.
For a stochastic COVID-19 model with jump-diffusion, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution. We also investigate some conditions for the extinction and persistence of the disease. We calculate the threshold of the stochastic epidemic system which determines the extinction or permanence of the disease at different intensities of the stochastic noises. This threshold is denoted by ξ which depends on white and jump noises. The effects of these noises on the dynamics of the model are studied. The numerical experiments show that the random perturbation introduced in the stochastic model suppresses disease outbreak as compared to its deterministic counterpart. In other words, the impact of the noises on the extinction and persistence is high. When the noise is large or small, our numerical findings show that COVID-19 vanishes from the population if $\xi <1$ ξ < 1 ; whereas the epidemic cannot go out of control if $\xi >1$ ξ > 1 . From this, we observe that white noise and jump noise have a significant effect on the spread of COVID-19 infection, i.e., we can conclude that the stochastic model is more realistic than the deterministic one. Finally, to illustrate this phenomenon, we put some numerical simulations.
