Asymptotic Behavior of Multigroup SEIR Model with Nonlinear Incidence Rates under Stochastic Perturbations

Abstract EN

In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of a multigroup SEIR model with stochastic perturbations and nonlinear incidence rate functions is studied.

First, the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the model we discuss are given.

Then, the global asymptotical stability in probability of the model with R0<1 is established by constructing Lyapunov functions.

Next, we prove that the disease can die out exponentially under certain stochastic perturbation while it is persistent in the deterministic case when R0>1.

Finally, several examples and numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the dynamic behavior of the model and verify our analytical results.
