Abstract:This paper formulates a mathematical framework to describe the dynamics of SIS-type infectious diseases with resource constraints. We first define the basic reproduction number that determines disease prevalence and analyze the existence and local stability of the equilibria. Subsequently, we analyze the global dynamics of the model, excluding periodic solutions and heteroclinic orbits, using the compound matrix approach. The analysis implies that the model can undergo forward and backward bifurcations dependi… Show more
