Dynamics of a discrete-time reaction-diffusion SIS epidemic model in a time-periodic environment
摘要
The transmission of many infectious diseases exhibits distinct seasonal patterns, with infection and recovery rates showing periodic fluctuations over time. Therefore, incorporating temporal periodicity allows for a more accurate capture of the epidemic dynamics. In this paper, we consider a discrete-time reaction-diffusion SIS model with temporal periodicity and spatial heterogeneity. We introduce a basic reproduction number
