Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to study the dynamics of a reaction--diffusion SIS (susceptible-infectious-susceptible) epidemic model with a nonlinear incidence rate describing the transmission of a communicable disease between individuals. We prove that the proposed model has two steady states under one condition. By analyzing the eigenvalues and using the Routh--Hurwitz criterion and an appropriately constructed Lyapunov functional, we establish the local and global asymptotic stability of the non negative constant steady states subject to the basic reproduction number being greater than unity and of the disease--free equilibrium subject to the basic reproduction number being smaller than or equal to unity in ODE case. By applying an appropriately constructed Lyapunov functional, we identify the condition of the global stability in the PDE case. Finally, we present some numerical examples illustrating and confirming the analytical results obtained throughout the paper.
