Global stability analysis for a model with carriers and non-linear incidence rate

Abstract

We analysed a epidemiological model with varying populations of susceptible, carriers, infectious and recovered (SCIR) and a general non-linear incidence rate of the form $f(S)[g(C)+h(I)] $. We show that this model exhibits two positive equilibriums: the disease-free and disease equilibrium. We proved using the Lyapunov direct method that these two equilibriums are globally asymptotically stable under some sufficient conditions over the functions f, g, h.
