Analysis of the permanence of an SIR epidemic model with logistic process and distributed time delay. (English) Zbl 1251.92036
Summary: We study the dynamics of an SIR epidemic model with a logistic process and a distributed time delay. We first show that the attractivity of the disease-free equilibrium is completely determined by a threshold $R_{0}$. If $R_{0}\leqslant 1$, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally attractive and the disease always dies out. Otherwise, if $R_{0}>1$, then the disease-free equilibrium is unstable, and meanwhile there exists uniquely an endemic equilibrium. We then prove that for any time delay $h>0$, the delayed SIR epidemic model is permanent if and only if there exists an endemic equilibrium. In other words, $R_{0}>1$ is a necessary and sufficient condition for the permanence of the epidemic model. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results. We also make a distinction between the dynamics of the distributed time delay system and the discrete time delay system.
