Global stability for delay SIR and SEIR epidemic models with saturated incidence rates

Abdelhadi Abta, Abdelilah Kaddar, Hamad Talibi Alaoui

Abstract:
In this article we propose a comparison of a delayed SIR model and its corresponding SEIR model in terms of global stability. We consider a saturated incidence rate and we determine, using Lyapunov functionals, conditions by which the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are globally asymptotically stable. Also some numerical simulations are given to compare a global behaviour of a delayed SIR model and its corresponding SEIR model.
