Abstract:In this paper, we propose a class of discrete SIR epidemic models which are derived from SIR epidemic models with distributed delays by using a variation of the backward Euler method. Applying a Lyapunov functional technique, it is shown that the global dynamics of each discrete SIR epidemic model are fully determined by a single threshold parameter and the effect of discrete time delays are harmless for the global stability of the endemic equilibrium of the model.
“…By Perron–Frobenius theorem, there exists a positive principal eigenvector ω =( ω 1 , ω 2 ,⋯, ω m ) such that ω k >0 for k =1,2,⋯, m and ω · ρ ( M 0 )= ω · M 0 . Consider the following Lyapunov function: Applying Lemma 4.1 in and (H1) , we obtain Note that for all I >0. Then, the difference of L n is …”

“… pointed out that how to choose the discrete schemes that preserve the global asymptotic stability for equilibria of the corresponding continuous‐time epidemic models was still an open problem. Recently, researchers have used nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme, which was developed by Mickens , to investigate the global stability of the corresponding continuous models (for example, Ding and Ding , Enatsu et al , Hattaf and Yousfi , Liu et al . , Sekiguchi and Ishiwata , and Yang et al .…”

“…malaria, tuberculosis, etc. It is pointed out in [14,15] that discretetime epidemic models are much better as compared to continuous ones because discrete-time models allow arbitrary time-step units, preserving the basic features of corresponding continuous-time models. Moreover, in case of discrete-time models, we can use statistical data for numerical simulations because infection data are computed at discrete-time.…”
In this paper, we study the qualitative behavior of a discrete-time epidemic model. More precisely, we investigate equilibrium points, asymptotic stability of both disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium. Furthermore, by using comparison method, we obtain the global stability of these equilibrium points under certain parametric conditions. Some illustrative examples are provided to support our theoretical discussion.
“…There is a basic reason that the statistical data of epidemic are collected or reported in discrete time, such as hourly, weekly or yearly. More importantly, we can exhibit more richer and complicated dynamical behaviors in the discrete-time models such as generating oscillations, bifurcations, chaos, see [11,12,28]. A well known method is referred to as the non-standard finite difference method, which is developed by Mickens [14][15][16] and has brought the creation of new numerical schemes that preserve the properties of the continuous model [17,18].…”
In this paper, we study a multiple infected compartments model for waterborne diseases which is derived from the continuous case by using the well-known Mickensnonstandard discretization. The positivity of solutions with positive initial conditions and the expressions of equilibria are obtained. By applying analytic techniques and constructing discrete Lyapunov functions, we obtain the results that if R 0 ≤ 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and if R 0 > 1 the unique endemic equilibrium is also globally asymptotically stable when the system degenerates the fast-slow system. Furthermore, numerical simulations verify our theoretical results. Our numerical results imply that the decay rate of pathogen in the water has no influence on endemic equilibrium, but it has a significant impact on the peak value of infected individuals.
