Pulse vaccination in the periodic infection rate sir epidemic model

In this paper a pulse vaccination SIR model with periodic infection rate β(t) is studied. The basic reproductive number R0 is defined. The dynamical behavior of the model is analyzed. It is proved that the infection-free periodic solution is globally stable if R0 < 1. The infection-free periodic solution is unstable and the disease will uniform persistence when R0 > 1. We use standard bifurcation theory to show the existence of the positive periodic solution when R0 → 1+. Numerical simulation can give suggestion, the system has a unique positive periodic, and it is globally stable when R0 > 1.
