Global stability of a networked connectivity model of disease epidemics

Abstract

The dynamics of a networked connectivity model of disease epidemics on a site of n communities is studied. Besides existence and local stability analysis for both the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium, a detailed global stability analysis of both equilibria is provided. Lyapunov functions are constructed using either matrixtheoretic or graph-theoretic methods and combinatorial identities.
