A note on an NSFD scheme for a mathematical model of respiratory virus transmission

Abstract: We construct a non-standard finite difference (NSFD) scheme for an SIRS mathematical model of respiratory virus transmission. This discretization is in full compliance with the NSFD methodology as formulated by Mickens. By use of an exact conservation law satisfied by the SIRS differential equations, we are able to determine the corresponding denominator function for the discrete first-order time derivatives. Our scheme is dynamically consistent with the SIRS differential equations, since the conservation laws… Show more

“…For us, dynamical consistency means: whenever there is extinction (respectively permanence) of the disease for the continuous-time model the same holds for the discrete-time one. Several papers [5,6,9,10,14,25,26] discuss the dynamical consistency with respect to some particular properties of discrete epidemiological models obtained from continuous models by some NSFD scheme [23]. We note that while the papers cited above consider autonomous models, in the present work we discuss dynamical consistency for a non-autonomous model.…”

“…Currently, there are various discretization methods to discretize a continuous model, including the standard methods, such as Euler method, Runge-Kutta method, some other standard and nonstandard finite difference scheme (see e.g. [6,7,11,[19][20][21][22][23]27]).…”
