Dynamical behavior of an SIR model with nonlinear incidence and saturated treatment rate
Abstract
In this article, we have introduced an SIR type epidemic model with the saturated treatment and nonlinear incidence rates. This model is studied in terms of stability and bifurcation. The existence conditions for the unique endemic equilibrium are obtained. The local stability of both the infection free and the infected steady states are discussed. Also by appropriate Lyapunov functional the global stability of both the uninfected and infected steady states are studied. Next through theoretical analysis, the existence of transcritical bifurcation at the disease free equilibrium and the Hopf bifurcation at the endemic equilibrium are established. In addition, several numerical simulations are also carried out.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:
We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
