This work analyzes the stability of a stochastic SIR model with demography, where randomness is introduced by adding white noise to the transmission rate. Using a Mean-Square stability framework, we derive a sufficient condition for the stochastic stability of the disease-free equilibrium point and introduce a stochastic basic reproduction number. Numerical simulations confirm that stochasticity alters the epidemic threshold and reduces the number of infections as noise increases, leading to disease extinction even when the deterministic outcome predicts an endemic equilibrium.

摘要

This work analyzes the stability of a stochastic SIR model with demography, where randomness is introduced by adding white noise to the transmission rate. Using a Mean-Square stability framework, we derive a sufficient condition for the stochastic stability of the disease-free equilibrium point and introduce a stochastic basic reproduction number. Numerical simulations confirm that stochasticity alters the epidemic threshold and reduces the number of infections as noise increases, leading to disease extinction even when the deterministic outcome predicts an endemic equilibrium.
