Abstract

This paper studies the dynamics of a SAIR mathematical model that describes the interac-
tion among susceptible, asymptomatic, symptomatic, and recovered individuals. Two general
incidence functions describing the infection caused by the asymptomatic and symptomatic indi-
viduals are introduced. We also take into account a temporary immunity, that is, a proportion
of the recovered individuals becomes susceptible again. The basic reproduction number R 0 de-
pends on the general incidence functions. The local and global asymptotical stability for each
equilibrium will depend on the basic reproduction number R 0 . In precise terms, the disease-
free equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable when R 0 < 1, while the endemic
equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable when R 0 > 1. The numerical simu-
lation is performed for different incidence rate cases, such as bilinear, Beddington-DeAngelis,
Crowley-Martin, and non-monotonic incidence rate functions. The simulation results are found
to agree with the theoretical endings.
