Abstract

In this paper, we examine the epidemiological model B-SIR, focusing on the dynamic law that governs the transmission rate B. We define this dynamic law by the differential equation B ′ / B = F ⊕ − F ⊖ , where F ⊖ represents a reaction factor reflecting the stress proportional to the active group's percentage variation. Conversely, F ⊕ is a factor proportional to the deviation of B from its intrinsic value. We introduce the notion of contagion impulse f and explore its role within the model. Specifically, for the case where F ⊕ = 0 , we derive an autonomous differential system linking the effective reproductive number with f and subsequently analyze its dynamics. This analysis provides new insights into the model's behavior and its implications for understanding disease transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
