From: On extinction of infectious diseases for multi-group SIRS models with saturated incidence rate
Notation | Explanation |
|---|---|
\(\beta_{kj}\) | Rate of disease transmission between compartments \(S_{k}\) and \(I_{j}\) |
\(d^{S}_{k}\), \(d^{I}_{k}\), \(d_{k}^{R}\) | Nature mortality of S, I, R compartments in the kth group, respectively |
\(\Lambda_{k}\) | Recruitment rate of the population into the kth group |
\(\varepsilon_{k}\) | Fatality rate in the kth group |
\(\gamma_{k}\) | Recovery rate of infected individuals in the kth group |
\(\delta_{k}\) | Removed rate of recovered individuals in the kth group |
\(\alpha_{k}\) | Positive parameter related to kth group |
