Abstract

Three behavioral-epidemic models (i.e., epidemic systems including feedbacks (FB) that the information about an infectious disease has on its spreading) are introduced. Two relevant FB are explicitly considered: the pseudo-rational exemption to vaccination and the information-related changes in contact patterns by healthy subjects. The global stability analysis of the endemic states is performed by means of the geometric approach to stability, with particular focus on a model of vaccination of adult susceptible subjects. Biological implications of the results are discussed.

That is, for the generic matrix A = (a ij ), \(\vert A\vert =\max _{1\leq k\leq n}\sum\limits _{j=1}^{n}\vert a_{jk}\vert \) and \(\mathcal{L}(A) =\max _{1\leq k\leq n}(a_{kk} + \sum\limits _{j=1(j\neq k)}^{n}\vert a_{jk}\vert )\).

A function \(g \in {C}^{1}(D \rightarrow {\text{R}}^{n})\) is called a C 1 local ε-perturbation of f at x 0 ∈ D if there exists an open neighborhood U of x 0 in D such that the support supp(f − g)\(\subset U\) and \(f - g_{{C}^{1}} < \epsilon \), where \(f - g_{{C}^{1}} =\sup \left \{f(x) - g(x) + f_{x}(x) - g_{x}(x) : x \in D\right \}\).

A point x 0 ∈ D is said to be non-wandering for Eq. (33) if for any neighborhood U of x 0 in D and there exists arbitrarily large t such that \(U \cap x(t,U)\neq \varnothing \). For example, any equilibrium, alpha limit point or omega limit point, is non-wandering.
