Epidemic models for complex networks with demographics

In this paper, we propose and study network epidemic models withdemographics for disease transmission. We obtain the formula of thebasic reproduction number $R_{0}$ of infection for an SIS model withbirths or recruitment and death rate. We prove that if $R_{0}\leq1$,infection-free equilibrium of SIS...

description In this paper, we propose and study network epidemic models withdemographics for disease transmission. We obtain the formula of thebasic reproduction number $R_{0}$ of infection for an SIS model withbirths or recruitment and death rate. We prove that if $R_{0}\leq1$,infection-free equilibrium of SIS model is globally asymptoticallystable; if $R_{0}>1$, there exists a unique endemic equilibrium whichis globally asymptotically stable. It is also found thatdemographics has great effect on basic reproduction number $R_{0}$.Furthermore, the degree distribution of population varies with timebefore it reaches the stationary state.
