Abstract

We consider the following model that describes the dynamics of epidemics in homogeneous heterogeneous populations as well as the spreading of multiple inter-related infectious diseases:[GRAPHICS]Our aim is to establish criteria such that the above system has one or multiple constant-sign periodic solutions (u(1), u(2), . . . , u(n)), i.e., for each 1 = 0 where theta(i) is an element of {1, -1} is fixed. Examples are also included to illustrate the results obtained. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
