Boundedness and Large-Time Behavior Results for a Diffusive Epidemic Model

Abstract: We consider a reaction-diffusion system modeling the spread of an epidemic disease within a population divided into the susceptible and infective classes. We first consider the question of the uniform boundedness of the solutions for which we give a positive answer. Then we deal with the asymptotic behavior of the solutions where in particular we are interested in reasonable conditions leading to the extinction of the infection disease as the time goes to infinity.

“…The idea behind the Lyapunov functional stems from Zelenyak's article [23], which has also been used by Crandall et al [5] for other purposes. The case Π > 0, α > 0, σ > 0 L. Melkemi et al [19] established the existence of global solutions, when…”

“…In particular, as spatially heterogeneous epidemic models, reaction-diffusion equations have been widely studied by many authors. We refer the reader to [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and the references cited therein.…”

“…However, for space-structured epidemic models as reaction-diffusion equations, such a construction method has not been sufficiently established and the global stability results are restricted to some special cases that the coefficients are constant (see, for instance, Capone et al [3], Chinviriyasit and Chinviriyasit [4], Fitzgibbon et al [7], Lotfi et al [24], Melkemi et al [12], and Webb [13]). For diffusive epidemic models, the existence of traveling wave solutions has attracted sustained attention of researchers and has been one of the most interesting topics (see, for instance, Ducrot [5], Ducrot and Magal [6], Hosono and Ilyas [8], and Zhang and Wang [14]).…”

“…results for the continuous RD system have been obtained using duality arguments, Sobolev embedding theorems, and Lyapunov-type structures [17,12,16,7]. However, to the best of our knowledge, our work is the first that derives conditions to guarantee the discretized RD system is uniformly bounded for all time.…”
