Rich dynamics of an SIR epidemic model
This paper aims to study an SIR epidemic model with an asymptotically homogeneous transmission function. The stability of the disease-free and the endemic equilibrium is addressed. Numerical simulations are carried out. Implications of our analytical and numerical findings are discussed critically....
