Stability analysis of a SIQR epidemic compartmental model with saturated incidence rate, vaccination and elimination strategies

Abstract

In this study, we developed and analyzed a compartmental epidemic model and a system model that incorporate vaccination, elimination, and quarantine techniques, with a saturated incidence rate, by theoretical and numerical means. The model is described by a system of four nonlinear differential equations. Our analysis included determining the reproduction number Rq and examining equilibrium solutions. The outcomes of the disease are identified through the threshold Rq. When Rq1, the unique endemic equilibrium is asymptotically stable locally. The stability of the endemic and disease-free equilibria globally has been examined using the Routh–Hurwitz and Dulac criteria. Subsequently, numerical simulations were utilized to illustrate the theoretical findings effectively.
