Stability of SIRS system with random perturbations

Abstract

Epidemiological models with bilinear incidence rate λ S I usually have an asymptotically stable trivial equilibrium corresponding to the disease-free state, or an asymptotically stable non-trivial equilibrium (i.e. interior equilibrium) corresponding to the endemic state. In this paper, we consider an epidemiological model, which is an SIRS model with or without distributed time delay influenced by random perturbations. We present the stability conditions of the disease-free equilibrium of the associated stochastic SIRS system.
