Global asymptotic convergence results for multitype models
Linda Rass, John Radcliffe
Abstract
This paper proves global asymptotic convergence in a multitype epidemic model which encompasses both the S → I and S → I → S epidemics. Systems are considered where the infection matrix may be reducible, and for which the system may be closed or can be open with a stable population size. New global asymptotic convergence results are obtained.
