The dynamics of an impulsive delay SI model with variable coefficients. (English) Zbl 1205.34094

Summary: An impulsive delayed SI model with variable coefficients and a nonlinear incidence is formulated and analyzed. By introducing three thresholds, we obtain sufficient conditions for eradication and permanence of the disease, respectively. It is shown that the conditions depend on time delay for both the global attractivity of the positive infection-free periodic solution and permanence of the model. Furthermore, our results indicate that the disease will disappear if the ratio of the maximum to minimum of the pulse vaccination rate is lager than some value. The main feature of this paper is that we introduce multi-delays and variable coefficients into the SI model, and exhibit a new method which is applied to investigate this model. Numerical results show that the system we considered has complex dynamics including periodic and quasi-periodic oscillations.
