Abstract

We describe an SIR epidemic model with a discrete time lag, analyse the local stability of its equilibria as well as the effects of delay on the reproduction number and on the dynamical behaviour of the system. The model has two equilibria—a necessary condition for local asymptotic stability is given. The proofs are based on linearization and the application of Lyapunov functional approach. An upper bound of the critical time delay for which the model remains valid is derived. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the effect of time delay which tends to reduce the epidemic threshold. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract We study the stability of a delay susceptible–infective–recovered epidemic model with time delay. The model is formulated under the assumption that all individuals are susceptible, and we analyse the global stability __via__ two methods—by Lyapunov functionals, and—in terms of the varia

The global stability of a discrete population model of Volterra type is studied. The model incorporates time delays and allows for a fluctuating environment. By linearization of the model at positive solutions and construction of Liapunov functionals, sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure a p
