Stationary Distribution and Dynamic Behaviour of a Stochastic SIVR Epidemic Model with Imperfect Vaccine
Abstract
We consider a stochastic SIVR (susceptible-infected-vaccinated-recovered) epidemic model with imperfect vaccine. First, we obtain critical condition under which the disease is persistent in the mean. Second, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of an ergodic stationary distribution to the model. Third, we study the extinction of the disease. Finally, numerical simulations are given to support the analytical results.
