An SEIR Epidemic Model with Diffusion
Abstract
In this paper, we study an SEIR epidemic model with diffusion. The model is
analyzed using stability theory of differential equations. Equilibrium points and
conditions of local stability of the system are determined. Basic reproduction
number of the model is computed by next generation matrix approach. It is
observed that endemic equilibrium point exists only if basic reproduction number
is greater than one otherwise disease vanishes from the system. Further, it is
observed that diffusion plays a significant role in stability of the system.
