摘要

Multi-group structures within the population can be used for modeling the spatially heterogeneous mode of transmission. This work examines whether traveling waves exist or not in a delayed two-group SIR epidemic model with a generalized incidence function. We show whether traveling waves exist or not, depending on the basic reproduction number, R0. More precisely, we show that: (i) there is a minimal wave speed denoted \(c^* > 0\) when \(R_0 > 1\) ; (ii) when \(R_0 \leq 1\) , the system has no nontrivial traveling wave solution. The system admits a nontrivial traveling wave solution with wave speed c for \(c > c^*\) , and there is no nontrivial traveling wave solution when \(c < c^*\) . Finally, we provide some numerical simulations showing the existence of a traveling wave solution. Our study can provide valuable insights for controlling disease outbreaks in spatially heterogeneous environments.
