Stability and bifurcation analysis of epidemic models with saturated incidence rates: An application to a nonmonotone incidence rate

We analyze local asymptotic stability of an SIRS epidemic model with a distributed delay. The incidence rate is given by a general saturated function of the number of infective individuals.Our first aim is to find a class of nonmonotone incidence rates such that a unique endemic equilibrium is alway...
