China Full lis of auhor informaion is available a he end of he aricle Absrac The objecive of his paper is o explore he long ime behavior of a sochasic SIR model. We esablish a hreshold condiion called he basic reproducion number under sochasic perurbaion for persisence or exincion of he disease. Especially, some numerical simulaions are applied o suppor our heoreical resuls. MSC: 49K5; 6H; 93E5 Keywords: a sochasic SIR model; exincion; persisence; hreshold; basic reproducion number Inroducion Epidemiology is he sudy of he spread of diseases wih he objecive o race facors ha are responsible for or conribue o heir occurrence. Significan progress has been made in he heory and applicaion by mahemaical research [ 6]. Recenly, we discussed he dynamic of a suscepible-infeced-recovered SIR epidemic model wih sochasic perurbaion [7], ha is, ds=[ S βsi] d σ SI db, di=[βsi + γ + ɛi] d + σ SI db, dr=[γi R] d,. where S, I, R, andb are he suscepible, he infecive, he recovered, and a sandard Brown moion, respecively. The parameers all posiive consans have he following meaning: is he birh rae, is he deah rae, β is he average number of conacs per infecive per day, γ is he recovery rae, ɛ is he deah rae of infecive caused by he disease, and σ is he inensiy of he whie noise. We invesigaed he persisence and exincion of he disease, and so we gave he hreshold of his sochasic model, which is affeced by whie noise and is less han he basic reproducion number of he corresponding deerminisic sysem. However, considering sochasic perurbaions o have differen paerns, i is ineresing o invesigae wheher he hreshold of his model wih oher sochasic perurbaions has a relaion wih whie noise [8 ].

In his paper, we also inend o give he basic reproducion number of his sysem hrough discussing he long ime behavior of he model, which will be given in he nex secion.

Therefore sup I, which ogeher wih he posiiviy of he soluion implies I=.8 Therefore, from.6,.8, and he hird equaions of., i is easy o obain Ss ds =, R= The proof of his resul is compleed. In he previous, we show he exincion of he disease. Now, we invesigae condiions for he prevalence of he disease. Theorem.3 Assume > σ σ σ 3.

Jiand JiangAdvances in Difference Equaions 7 7:3 Page 5 of 8 Proof If R >, hen from he las equaliy of.7 and Lemmas 5., 5. in [7], we have Is ds = β + γ + ɛ + σ β+γ +ɛ = + γ + ɛ + σ R.9 + γ + ɛ Togeher wih.6, hisyields Ss ds = + γ + ɛ + σ R = β R Moreover, from he hird equaion of sysem., we obain R R = γ Is ds Rs ds + σ 3 Rs db 3 s, which ogeher wih.3and.9implies Rs ds = γ + γ + ɛ + σ R β + γ + ɛ Remark. Alhough here is no endemic equilibrium of sysem., Theorem.3 ells us he soluion of i ends o a poin in ime on average whose value is less han he value of S, I, R [3], and we consider i is sable in ime on average. Furhermore, from he resuls of Theorem. and Theorem.3, we see ha he value of R mainly deermines he exincion and persisence of he disease. As deerminisic epidemic models, R can be called he basic reproducion of he sochasic epidemic sysem.. 3 Simulaions In his secion, using he mehod menioned in [4], we give simulaions o suppor our resuls. The discreized equaion is S k+ = S k + S k βs k I k + σ ɛ,k Sk, I k+ = I k +[βs k I k + γ + ɛi k ] + σ ɛ,k Ik, R k+ = R k +γi k R k + σ 3 ɛ,k Rk.

Choosing differen values of σ, σ, σ 3,wegewocases. Case Assume σ =.5,σ =4,σ 3 =.,hen > σ σ σ 3 and R = 3 <.As expeced, he infeced populaion I will end o very quickly and he disease will die ou.

As Theorem.3 said, he disease will prevail and he soluion is flucuaing around he endemic equilibrium S, I, R of he corresponding deerminisic sysem see he upper hree picures in Figure.

Jiand JiangAdvances in Difference Equaions 7 7:3 Page 7 of 8 4 Discussions In his paper, by qualiaive analysis we have sudied he global behavior of an SIR model wih sochasic perurbaion. As he deerminisic epidemic models, we give a basic reproducion number R of sysem., which is also less han he value of he basic reproducion number in he corresponding deerminisic sysem. From he discussion, we can hink whie noise can make he value of he basic reproducion number lower, and so i is beneficial for conrolling he disease. Infac,forasochasicSIRSepidemicmodel, ds=[ S βsi+ρr] d + σ S db, di=[βsi + γ + ɛi] d + σ I db, dr=[γi R ρr] d + σ 3 R db 3, 4. we can obain he following properies hrough a similar analysis. If > σ σ σ 3 and R <,hen log I = + γ + ɛ + σ R < Sr dr =, I=, R= If > σ σ σ 3 and R >,hen Ss ds = R, Is ds = + ρ + γ + ɛ + σ β[ + ρ + ɛ+γ ] R Rs ds = γ + γ + ɛ + σ β[ + ρ + ɛ+γ ] R, Compeing ineress The auhors declare ha hey have no compeing ineress.
