Impact of discontinuous treatments on disease dynamics in an SIRepidemic model by Zhenyuan Guo, Lihong Huang, Xingfu Zou

“…Most interestingly, we find that in the case that anequilibrium is asymptotically stable, the convergence to theequilibrium can actually be achieved in finite time, and wecan estimate this time in terms of the model parameters, initialsub-populations and the initial treatment strength. This suggeststhat from the view point of eliminating the disease from the hostpopulation, discontinuous treatment strategies would be superior tocontinuous ones. …”
