Abstract
This paper studies a two-age structured SIRS epidemic model with logistic growth of susceptible population and two-time delays. We simultaneously introduce two-time delays, i.e., the immunity and incubation periods, into this dynamic system and investigate their impact on different dynamic behaviors for the model. By means of the \(C_{0}\)-semigroup theory, the model is transformed into a non-densely defined abstract Cauchy problem, and the condition of the existence and uniqueness of the endemic equilibrium is obtained. Following the spectral analysis, the characteristic equation technique, and the Hopf bifurcation theorem, we show that different combinations of the two delays perform a vital role in the instability/stability as well as the Hopf bifurcation results of equilibrium solutions. We numerically provide some graphical representations to check the main theoretical results and show the rich dynamics by varying the two delay parameters.
期刊介绍:
The theory of difference equations, the methods used, and their wide applications have advanced beyond their adolescent stage to occupy a central position in applicable analysis. In fact, in the last 15 years, the proliferation of the subject has been witnessed by hundreds of research articles, several monographs, many international conferences, and numerous special sessions.
The theory of differential and difference equations forms two extreme representations of real world problems. For example, a simple population model when represented as a differential equation shows the good behavior of solutions whereas the corresponding discrete analogue shows the chaotic behavior. The actual behavior of the population is somewhere in between.
The aim of Advances in Difference Equations is to report mainly the new developments in the field of difference equations, and their applications in all fields. We will also consider research articles emphasizing the qualitative behavior of solutions of ordinary, partial, delay, fractional, abstract, stochastic, fuzzy, and set-valued differential equations.
Advances in Difference Equations will accept high-quality articles containing original research results and survey articles of exceptional merit.
