Global dynamics of a compartmental system modeling ectoparasite-borne diseases

We analyse a four-dimensional compartmental system tha t describes the spread of ectoparasites and a disease carried by them in a population. We identify three threshold parameters tha t determine which of the four potential equilibria exist. These parameters completely characterize the stability pr...

Tartalmi kivonat:We analyse a four-dimensional compartmental system tha t describes the spread of ectoparasites and a disease carried by them in a population. We identify three threshold parameters tha t determine which of the four potential equilibria exist. These parameters completely characterize the stability properties of the equilibria and also the global behaviour of solutions. We provide a detailed description of the global attractor in each possible scenario. Th e key mathematical tools of the proofs are Lyapunov-LaSalle theory, persistence theory, Poincaré-Dulac criteria and unstable manifolds. In the most complicated case, the global attractor consists of four equilibria and various heteroclinic orbits connecting those equilibria, forming a two-dimensional manifold in the phase space.
