The asymptotic behavior of a stochastic multigroup SIS model

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the long time behavior of a multigroup Susceptible–Infected–Susceptible (SIS) model with stochastic perturbations. The conditions for the disease to die out are obtained. Besides, we also show that the disease is fluctuating around the endemic equilibrium under some conditions. Moreover, there is a stationary distribution under stronger conditions. At last, some numerical simulations are applied to support our theoretical results.
