We derive and analyze a mathematical model of smoking in which the population is divided into four classes: potential smokers, smokers, temporary quitters, and permanent quitters. In this model we study the effect of smokers on temporary quitters. Two equilibria of the model are found: one of them is the smoking-free equilibrium and the other corresponds to the presence of smoking. We examine the local and global stability of both equilibria and we support our results by using numerical simulations.
We present a non-linear mathematical model which analyzes the spread of smoking in a population. In this paper, the population is divided into …ve classes: potential smokers, occasional smokers, heavy smokers, temporary quitters and permanent quitters. We study the e¤ect of considering the class of occasional smokers and the impact of adding this class to the smoking model in [1] on the stability of its equilibria. Numerical results are also given to support our results.Mathematics Subject Classi…cation: 34D23, 91D10
In this paper, we propose a rumor transmission model with incubation period considering the fact that incubators may move to stifler class and susceptibles may move to spreader class. The model is formulated with constant recruitment and varying total population. The full system of the model is studied qualitatively producing rumor-free and rumor-existence equilibriums. The existence conditions of the equilibriums are investigated. Moreover, the local and global stability analysis of both equilibriums is examined. Furthermore, numerical simulations are used to support the qualitative analysis. Finally, the impact of different management strategies on the dissipation of rumors is analyzed numerically by varying key parameters in the model.
In this paper we present and analyze a generalization of the giving up smoking model that was introduced by Sharomi and Gumel [4], in which quitting smoking can be temporary or permanent. In our model, we study a population with peer pressure effect on temporary quitters and we consider also the possibility of temporary quitters becoming permanent quitters and the impact of this transformation on the existence and stability of equilibrium points. Numerical results are given to support the results.

AbstractResearchers have applied epidemiological models to study the dynamics of social and behavioral processes, based on the fact that both biological diseases and social behavioral are a result from interactions between individuals. The main feature of the paper is to understand the dynamics of spreading a meme on a large scale in a short time through a chain of communications. In this paper we study a meme transmission model, which is an extension of the deterministic Daley-Kendall model and we analyze it by using stability theory of nonlinear differential equations. The model is based on dividing the population into three disjoint classes of individuals according to their reaction to the meme. We examine the existence of equilibria of the model and investigate their stability using linearization methods, Lyapunov method and Hopf bifurcation analysis. One of the significant results in this paper is finding conditions that will lead to persistent of memes. Also numerical simulations are used to support the results.
