| Summary: | We investigate a stochastic SI epidemic model in the complex networks. We show that
this model has a unique global positive solution. Then we consider the asymptotic behavior of the model
around the disease-free equilibrium and show that the solution will oscillate around the disease-free
equilibrium of deterministic system when R0≤1. Furthermore, we derive that the disease will be persistent
when R0>1. Finally, a series of numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our mathematical
findings. A new result is given such that, when R0≤1, with the increase of noise intensity the solution of
stochastic system converging to the disease-free equilibrium is faster than that of the deterministic
system. |
