Description
Summary:In this paper, we formulate a stochastic model for hepatitis B virus transmission with the effect of fluctuation environment. We divide the total population into four different compartments, namely, the susceptible individuals in which the disease transmission rate is distributed by white noise, the acutely infected individuals in which the same perturbation occur, the chronically infected individuals and the recovered individuals. We use the stochastic Lyapunov function theory to construct a suitable stochastic Lyapunov function for the existence of positive solution. We also then establish the sufficient conditions for the hepatitis B extinction and the hepatitis B persistence. At the end numerical simulation is carried out by using the stochastic Runge–Kutta method to support our analytical findings.
