Asymptotic Behavior and Stability of Stochastic SIR Model with Variable Diffusion Rates

Abstract

In this paper, we propose random fluctuation on contact and recovery rates in deterministic SIR model with disease deaths in nonparametric manner and derive a new stochastic SIR model with distributed time delay and general diffusion coefficients. By analysis of the introduced model, we obtain the sufficient conditions for the regularity, existence and uniqueness of a global solution by means of Lyapunov function. Moreover, we also investigate the stochastic asymptotic stability of disease free equilibria and endemic equilibria of this model. Finally, we illustrate our general results by applications.
