On the Integrability of the SIR Epidemic Model with Vital Dynamics

الملخص EN

In this paper, we study the SIR epidemic model with vital dynamics Ṡ=−βSI+μN−S,İ=βSI−γ+μI,Ṙ=γI−μR, from the point of view of integrability.

In the case of the death/birth rate μ=0, the SIR model is integrable, and we provide its general solutions by implicit functions, two Lax formulations and infinitely many Hamilton-Poisson realizations.

In the case of μ≠0, we prove that the SIR model has no polynomial or proper rational first integrals by studying the invariant algebraic surfaces.

Moreover, although the SIR model with μ≠0 is not integrable and we cannot get its exact solution, based on the existence of an invariant algebraic surface, we give the global dynamics of the SIR model with μ≠0.
