Abstract

This article aims to analyze a stochastic epidemic model SEIuIrR (Susceptible-exposed-undetected infected-detected infected (reported -recovered) assuming that the transmission rate at which people undetected become detected is perturbed by the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. Our first objective is to prove that the stochastic model has a unique positive global solution by constructing a nonnegative Lyapunov function. Afterward, we provide a sufficient criterion to prove the existence of an ergodic stationary distribution of the mode by constructing a suitable series of Lyapunov functions. Subsequently, we establish sufficient conditions for the extinction of the disease. Finally, a series of numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results.

Keywords: Stochastic epidemic model, Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, Stationary distributions, Disease extinction

1. Introduction

Mathematical modeling has the potential to play a significant role in solving the problem of the spread of epidemics. Vaccination programs, physical separation and disease eradication efforts could all benefit from mathematical analysis of epidemic models. In recent years, mathematical models have been developed to analyze infectious diseases such as Covid 19, HIV/AIDS and influenza [17], [24], [26], [38], [43], [45], [47]. In the context of epidemic modeling, the widely used deterministic models are SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) and SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered) models [7], [9], [20], [27], [28], [29], [34], [36], [42], among others. These deterministic models have provided invaluable insights into infection rates, healthcare system demands, and potential intervention effectiveness. However, to capture the memory and hereditary properties of biological systems more accurately, Proportional Caputo Fractional Derivative models are increasingly recognized as necessary [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [19], [37].

However, the intricacies of real-world dynamics and the inherent variability in human behavior introduce an element of randomness that cannot be ignored. From variations in individual susceptibility and contact patterns to the uncertainty surrounding the emergence of new viral strains, randomness permeates every aspect of the pandemic's progression. This realization has led to the evolution of epidemic modeling beyond deterministic analyses, prompting researchers to embrace stochastic processes and probabilistic methods to capture the unpredictable nature of the virus's spread [10], [13], [16], [39], [50]. Zhou et al. [49] formulated a stochastic SIR epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate and general stochastic noises. Su and Zhang [41] proposed a stochastic SEI epidemic model in which the transmission rates are general functions and satisfy the log-normal Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Song and Zhang [40] studied a stationary distribution and the exponential extinction of a stochastic SVEIS epidemic model. Gatyeni et al. [18] suggested and analyzed a model incorporates the vital dynamics to capture the dynamics of COVID-19 infection using the South African setting in addition to optimizing the control strategies. Based on the work done by Gatyeni et al. [18] and El hadj Moussa et al. [15], we consider an SEIuIrR epidemic model as follows:

{dS(t)dt=Δβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SμS,dE(t)dt=β(v1Iu+v2Ir)S(σ+μ)E,dIu(t)dt=σ(1ρ)E(μ+d1+δ+γIu)Iu,dIr(t)dt=σρE+δIu(μ+d2+γIr)Ir,dR(t)dt=γIuIu+γIrIrμR, (1)

where S(t) denotes susceptible population, E(t) represents exposed people, Iu(t) represents undetected infected people, Ir(t) represents the detected infected people (or reported), and R(t) denotes the recovered people. Assuming all parameters to be constant and positive, their respective descriptions are provided in Table 1. It is feasible to achieve that system (1) possesses a positive invariant region [15], [18]:

Γ={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R)R+5,0S+E+Iu+Ir+RΔμ}.

The expression for the basic reproduction number of system (1) is provided as follows:

R0=R1+R2+R3,

where

R1=σβS0v1(1ρ)(σ+μ)(δ+γIu+μ+d1),R2=σβS0ν2ρ(σ+μ)(γIr+μ+d2),R3=σβS0v2(1ρ)δ(σ+μ)(δ+γIu+μ+d1)(γIr+μ+d2),

which plays a crucial role in determining the occurrence of the disease, in a situation where S0=Δμ.

Table 1.

Description of state parameters of the model (1).

Parameter Description
Δ Birth rate
μ Natural death rate
β Disease transmission rate
ρ Proportion of E which becomes undiagnosed
v1 Transmissibility relative to undetected people
v2 Transmissibility relative to detected people
δ The transmission rate at which undetected people become detected
d1 Disease related death rate in Iu compartment
d2 Disease related s death rate in Ir compartment
σ Incubation rate Fitted
γIu Recovery rate of people in Iu compartment
γIr Recovery rate of people in Ir compartment

Furthermore, the system's (1) relevant threshold dynamics can be described in the following manner:

  • If R0<1. The system (1) exhibits a disease-free equilibrium E(S0,0,0,0,0)=(Δμ,0,0,0,0), which is locally asymptotically stable within the region Γ.

  • If R01. The system (1) possesses a globally asymptotically stable endemic equilibrium X=(S,E,Iu,Ir,R) within the region Γ.

Lately, an increasing number of researchers have shown a significant interest in investigating the dynamic behavior of epidemiological models incorporating stochastic perturbations, as it has become evident that the utilization of stochastic modeling techniques provides a more accurate representation of infectious diseases [21], [23], [31], [32].

Until now, multiple methods exist for incorporating stochastic perturbations into deterministic models. Among these approaches, one of the widely adopted strategies assumes that the system's parameters follow an Itô process known as the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, [8], [33], [46], [51], [52].

Motivated by the aforementioned discussions, this study considers the analysis of a stochastic SEIuIrR (Susceptible-exposed-undetected infected-detected infected (reported)-recovered) epidemic model by incorporating the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, as outlined in the following manner:

dδ(t)=ρ1[δ¯δ(t)]dt+σ1dB(t),

where δ¯ is measure the long-time mean level of the infection rate δ, ρ1 is the speeds of reversion, B(t) is independent standard Brownian motion parameter defined on a complete probability space (Ω,F,{Ft}t0,P) with a filtration {Ft}t0 satisfying the usual conditions, and σ1 represents the intensity of B(t). Typically, it is assumed that all parameters in the stochastic model are nonnegative to examine the necessity of incorporating positivity into the discussion, variable max{δ(t),0} is used instead of variable δ(t) in [31]. Consequently, the ensuing stochastic model is derived as follows:

{dS(t)=[Δβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SμS]dt,dE(t)=[β(v1Iu+v2Ir)S(σ+μ)E]dt,dIu(t)=[σ(1ρ)E(μ+d1+max{δ(t),0}+γIu)Iu]dt,dIr(t)=[σρE+max{δ(t),0}Iu(μ+d2+γIr)Ir]dt,dR(t)=[γIuIu+γIrIrμR]dt,dδ(t)=ρ1[δ¯δ(t)]dt+σ1dB(t). (2)

For convenience and clarity, we introduce the following notation conventions:

R+m={(x1,...,xm)|xb0,1bm},p1p2=max{p1,p2} for any p1,p2R. Consider 1D as the indicator function for set D. If Q is a vector or matrix, we represent its transpose as QT.

The main innovations and contributions of this paper are given as follows:

  • This paper introduces and investigates a novel stochastic epidemic model SEIuIrR with the incorporation of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process to perturb the transmission rate δ.

  • The model stochastic considered is more realistic and biologically meaningful framework for describing the transmission rate δ at which undetected people become detected, because this rate can be subject to fluctuations and uncertainties in real-world scenarios. For example, it can depend on factors like changes in testing capabilities, public health interventions, or population behavior. By modeling δ as a stochastic process, the model can account for these variations in detection rates over time.

  • By employing novel Lyapunov functions, we establish the existence of a unique global solution of the model for any initial condition, we describe the sufficient conditions for establishing an ergodic stationary distribution and we proceed to define the sufficient criteria for extinction of the disease.

The rest of the paper is arranged as follows: In Section 2, we establish the existence of a unique global solution of system (2) for any initial condition. Section 3 outlines sufficient conditions for establishing a distinctive ergodic stationary distribution through the utilization of the stochastic Lyapunov method. In Section 4, we proceed to delineate the sufficient criteria for the extinction of the disease. In addition, numerical simulations are given in Section 5 to illustrate the results of the previous analysis. The last section concludes the paper.

2. The global solution's existence and uniqueness

Before delving into the properties of the epidemic system, it is crucial to establish whether the solution it exhibits is globally valid or not, and this theorem addresses the issue of the existence and uniqueness of the global solution for system (2) under any given initial value.

Theorem 2.1

If there is an initial value(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))TR+5×R, the system(2)has a unique solution(S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t))T. That is,(S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t))Tis defined fort0and remains inR+5×Ralmost surely (a.s.).

Proof 2.1

Since that all the coefficients of system (2) satisfy the local Lipschitz conditions, there will exist a unique local solution (S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t))T on the interval [0,ϱe) for any initial value (S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))TR+5×R, where ϱe denotes the time of explosion [35]. So, to prove that this solution is global, it suffices to prove that: ϱe= a.s. Letting Dn=(1/n,n)×(1/n,n)×(1/n,n)×(1/n,n)×(1/n,n)×(1/n,n), for any (S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))TR+5×R, one easily obtains a sufficiently large integer j0 to satisfy (S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),expδ(0))Dj0. In this sense, for every integer jj0, a stopping time set ϱj is defined by [35]:

ϱj=inf{t[0,ϱe):min{S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),eδ(t)}1jormax{S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),eδ(t)}j}

Where we assume in our paper that inf= (with ∅ representing the empty set) and ϱ=limjϱj, whence ϱϱe a.s. If ϱ= a.s. is true, then ϱe= a.s. and (S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t))TR+5×R a.s. for all t0. So we must prove that ϱ= a.s. To prove the latter, we use the proof backwards, assuming that it is false. It means there is a pair of constants (ε,T1)((0,1),R+) such that:

P{ϱT}>ε.

Consequently, there exists an integer j1j0 such that

P{ϱjT}:=P{Πj}εjj1. (3)

Define the function U:R+5×RR+ by

U(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)=(S1lnS)+(E1lnE)+(Iu1lnIu)+(Ir1lnIr)+(R1lnR)+δ22.

Applying the Itô's formula [35], we obtain

dU(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)=LU(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)dt+σ1δdB(t). (4)

Where LU:R+5×RR+ is defined by

LU=Δ+5μ+σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122+max{δ(t),0}+β(v1Iu+v2Ir)μSμEμIud1IuμIrd2IrμRΔSβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SEσ(1ρ)EIuσρEIrmax{δ(t),0}IuIrγIuIuRγIrIrR+ρ1δ¯δρ1δ2Δ+5μ+σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122+|δ|+β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+ρ1δ¯δρ1δ2. (5)

Based on model (2) we have

d(S+E+Iu+Ir+R)dt=Δμ(S+E+Iu+Ir+R)(d1Iu+d2Ir)Δμ(S+E+Iu+Ir+R).

Consequently, this suggests that

S(t)+E(t)+Iu(t)+Ir(t)+R(t){S(0)+E(0)+Iu(0)+Ir(0)+R(0), if S(0)+E(0)+Iu(0)+Ir(0)+R(0)Δμ,Δμ, if S(0)+E(0)+Iu(0)+Ir(0)+R(0)<Δμϒ1. (6)

Where

ϒ1:=sup{S(0)+E(0)+Iu(0)+Ir(0)+R(0),Δμ}.

Substituting (6) into (5) leads to that

LUΔ+5μ+σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122+β(v1+v2)ϒ1+supδR{ρ1δ2+|δ|+ρ1δ¯δ}:=ϒ2. (7)

In this case, ϒ2 represents a positive constant which is independent of the variables S,E,Iu,Ir,R and δ.

Consequently, by inetegrating both sides of equation (4) from 0 to ϱjT for any jj1, and then taking the mathematical expectations lead to

0EU(S(ϱjT),E(ϱjT),Iu(ϱjT),Ir(ϱjT),R(ϱjT),δ(ϱjT))=EU(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))+E0ϱjTLU(S(ξ),E(ξ),Iu(ξ),Ir(ξ),R(ξ),δ(ξ))dξEU(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))+ϒ2T. (8)

Similarly, based on (3), it can be deduced that for all ζΠj, at least one of the variables S,E,Iu,Ir,R and δ must be either 1j or j, ensuring that U(S(ϱj,ζ),E(ϱj,ζ),Iu(ϱj,ζ),Ir(ϱj,ζ),R(ϱj,ζ),δ(ϱj,ζ)) will not be less than

(j1lnj)ln2j2 or (1j1+lnj)ln2j2.

Based on (3) and (8), we have

EU(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))+ϒ2TEU(S(ϱjT),E(ϱjT),Iu(ϱjT),Ir(ϱjT),R(ϱjT),δ(ϱjT))E[1Πj(ζ)U(S(ϱjT),E(ϱjT),Iu(ϱjT),Ir(ϱjT),R(ϱjT),δ(ϱjT))]P(Πj(ζ))U(S(ϱj,ζ),E(ϱj,ζ),Iu(ϱj,ζ),Ir(ϱj,ζ),R(ϱj,ζ),δ(ϱj,ζ))ε[(j1lnj)(1j1+lnj)ln2j2]. (9)

Considering the unlimited nature of j, as j approaches positive infinity, a contradiction appears.

+<EU(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))+ϒ2T=+.

That is to say ϱ= a.s. The demonstration is finished.

Remark 2.1

From the conditions provided in the proof of Theorem 2.1, we can deduce that if S(0)+E(0)+Iu(0)+Ir(0)+R(0)<Δμ

Σ={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)R+5×R,0S+E+Iu+Ir+RΔμ}

is positively invariant for system (2).

3. Ergodic stationary distribution

In the present section, our primary focus is on establishing adequate requirements for the existence of a stationary ergodic distribution, which, in turn, indicates the significant persistence of the susceptible population, exposed individuals, undetected infected individuals, and detected infected individuals. To achieve this objective, we introduce the following theorem.

Let us consider a b-dimensions nonlinear stochastic differential equation (SDE):

dV(t)=h1(V(t))dt+h2(V(t))dB(t). (10)

With the initial value V(0)Rb, where B(t) is a b-dimensional Brownian motion defined on the complete probability space (Ω,F,{Ft}t0,P). Moreover, h1:RbRb and h2:RbRb×n are Borel measurable.

The following lemma is useful to prove the next theorem.

Lemma 3.1

(See[14], Theorem 2.2) Assume the presence of a bounded closed domainARbwith a regular boundary Λ. For any initial valueV(0)Rb, if

liminft1t0tP(s,V(s),A)ds>0a.s.

WhereP(s,V(s),.)signifies the transition probability ofV(t), then a solution exists for system(10)that possesses the Feller property. Moreover, system(10)accommodates at least one stationary distributionΘ(.)onRb.

Theorem 3.1

Let R0s=S0(σ+μ)(σβv1(1ρ)(δ¯+γIu+μ+d1)+σβν2ρ(γIr+μ+d2)+σβv2(1ρ)(1πδ¯ρ1σ1(σ1ρ1y+δ¯)14ey2dy)4(δ¯+γIu+μ+d1)(γIr+μ+d2))(σβv1(1ρ)Δμ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)2+σβv2(1ρ)Δ(1πδ¯ρ1σ1(σ1ρ1y+δ¯)14ey2dy)4μ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)2(μ+d2+γIr))σ12πρ1(σ+μ)>1 . Suppose the initial values (S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))R+5×R then, the solution (S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t)) of system (2) possesses a single stationary distribution Θ(.) with the ergodic property.

Proof 3.1

Establish the Lyapunov function in the following manner:

W¯(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)=N˜W0(S,E,Iu,Ir,R)+W1(S,E,Iu,Ir)+W2(S,E,Iu,Ir,R)+W3(δ)

Where

W0(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)=2lnE(a1+a2+a3)lnS(a4+a5)lnIu(a6+a7)lnIr+(a1+a2+a3)βR,W1(S,E,Iu,Ir)=lnSlnElnIulnIr,W2(S,E,Iu,Ir,R)=ln(ΔμSEIuIrR),W3(δ)=δ22.

The positive constants a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6 and a7 will be determined later, while N˜ is a suitably large positive constant satisfying the given condition

N˜(σ+μ)(R0s1)+ϒ32 (11)

and

ϒ3:=supδR{ρ12δ2+|δ|+ρ1δ¯δ}+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d2+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122<. (12)

Indeed, W¯(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ) exhibits continuity, conforming to

liminfm,(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)ΣDmW¯(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)=+.

Consequently, a non-negative C2-function W(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ) is provided as follows

W(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)=W¯(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)W¯(S0,E0,Iu0,Ir0,R0,δ0).

Where (S0,E0,Iu0,Ir0,R0,δ0)Σ is the minimum point of W¯(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ).

By Applying Itô's formula [35] to W0 and the arithmetic-geometric men inequality

b1+b2+...+bnn(b1b2...bn)1n For any bn>0and nN,

we obtain

LW0=(a1+a2+a3S)(Δβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SμS)2E(β(v1Iu+v2Ir)S(σ+μ)E)(a4+a5Iu)(σ(1ρ)E(μ+d1+max{δ(t),0}+γIu)Iu)(a6+a7Ir)(σρE+max{δ(t),0}Iu(μ+d2+γIr)Ir)(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIrμR)(a1ΔSa4σ(1ρ)EIuβv1IuSE)+a1μ+a4(μ+d1+max{δ(t),0}+γIu)+(a2ΔSa6σρEIrβv2IrSE)+a2μ+a6(μ+d2+γIr)+(a3ΔSa5σ(1ρ)EIua7max{δ,0}IuIrβv2IrSE)+a3μ+a5(μ+d1+max{δ(t),0}+γIu)+a7(μ+d2+γIr)+(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)+2(σ+μ)3a1a4σβv1(1ρ)Δ3+a1μ+a4(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)3a2a6σβv2ρΔ3+a2μ+a6(μ+d2+γIr)4a3a5a7σβv2(1ρ)Δδ˜4+a3μ+a5(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)+a7(μ+d2+γIr)+(a4+a5)A(t)0+2(σ+μ)+(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr), (13)

with

δ˜=max{δ(t),0}andA(t)=δ(t)δ¯.

Concerning the equation corresponding to the sixth position in system (2), that is

dδ(t)=ρ1[δ¯δ(t)]dt+σ1dB(t).

Based on the references [11], [31], [48], [51] it can be inferred that the process δ(t) exhibits the ergodic property and it is expected to undergo weak convergence towards the invariant density

f(y)=ρ1πσ1eρ1(yδ¯)2σ12,yR.

Having incorporated the ergodic theorem [30], the aforementioned leads us to the following conclusion

(y0)14f(y)dy=0y14f(y)dy=0y14ρ1πσ1eρ1(yδ¯)2σ12dy=1πδ¯ρ1σ1(σ1ρ1y+δ¯)14ey2dy. (14)

Likewise, in the case of the stochastic differential equation

dA(t)=ρ1A(t)dt+σ1dB(t).

The ergodic property of A(t) and its eventual weak convergence to the invariant density can be readily derived

g(y)=ρ1πσ1eρ1y2σ12,yR.

Drawing upon the ergodic theorem [30], we arrive at the following conclusion

(y0)g(y)dy=0yg(y)dy=0yρ1πσ1eρ1y2σ12dy=σ12πρ1. (15)

Substituting (14) and (15) into (13) leads to that

Where

δˆ=((y0)14f(y)dy)4=(1πδρ1σ1(σ1ρ1y+δ¯)14ey2dy)4.

Let

a1μ=a4(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)=σβv1(1ρ)Δμ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu),a2μ=a6(μ+d2+γIr)=σβv2ρΔμ(μ+d2+γIr)a3μ=a5(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)=a7(μ+d2+γIr)=σβv2(1ρ)Δδˆμ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)(μ+d2+γIr).

Consequently, we acquire

a1=σβv1(1ρ)Δμ2(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu),a4=σβv1(1ρ)Δμ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)2a2=σβv2ρΔμ2(μ+d2+γIr),a6=σβv2ρΔμ(μ+d2+γIr)2a3=σβv2(1ρ)Δδˆμ2(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)(μ+d2+γIr),a5=σβv2(1ρ)Δδˆμ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)2(μ+d2+γIr),a7=σβv2(1ρ)Δδˆμ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)(μ+d2+γIr)2.

Consequently, as a result

Where

R0s=S0(σ+μ)(σβv1(1ρ)(δ¯+γIu+μ+d1)+σβν2ρ(γIr+μ+d2)+σβv2(1ρ)δˆ(δ¯+γIu+μ+d1)(γIr+μ+d2))(a1+a5)σ12πρ1(σ+μ).

Analogously, employing Itô's formula [35] to W1, W2, and W3, respectively, yields the following results

LW1=ΔS+β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+μβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SE+σ+μσ(1ρ)EIu+(μ+d1+max{δ(t),0}+γIu)σρEIrmax{δ(t),0}IuIr+(μ+d2+γIr)ΔSβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SE+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+|δ|+4μ+σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr (18)

and

By (17), (18), (19) and (20), we get

H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R;δ)=N˜(σ+μ)(R0s1)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)ΔSβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SEd1Iu+d2IrΔμSEIuIrR+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2ρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122. (22)

Following that, we define a suitable bounded subset Eˆ is described by

Eˆ={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R)TΣ,Sε,Iuε,Irε,Eε3,S+E+Iu+Ir+RΔμε2,|δ|1ε}.

Let ε be a sufficiently small positive constant that fulfills the following conditions.

Δε+ϒ41 (23)
ε1N˜β(a1+a2+a3)(v1+v2+γIu+γIr) (24)
β(v1+v2)ε+ϒ41 (25)

ρ12ε2+ϒ41. (27)

Where

ϒ4:=supδR{ρ12δ2+|δ|+ρ1δ¯δ}+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122. (28)

We can then partition the set ΣEˆ into the following five subsets Eˆic,i=1,2,3,4,5, where

Eˆ1c={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TΣ,S<ε}
Eˆ2c={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TΣ,Iu<ε,Ir<ε}
Eˆ3c={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TΣ,E<ε3,Iuε,Irε}
Eˆ4c={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TΣ,S+E+Iu+Ir+R>Δμε2,Iuε,Irε}
Eˆ5c={(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TΣ,|δ|>1ε}.

It is then obvious that,

ΣEˆ=i=15Eˆic.

We shall now proceed to establish the proof that H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R;δ)1 on Eˆc.

Put differently, we must verify its fulfillment across the aforementioned five regions

  • Case 1. For any (S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TEˆ1c, according to (22), we get
    H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)ΔS+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122ΔS+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1+v2)Δμ+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIu+γIr)Δμ+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122Δε+ϒ41. (29)
    Which follows from (23) and (28)
  • Case 2. For any (S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TEˆ2c, by (22), we obtain

    Which follows from (11) and (24).
  • Case 3. For any (S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TEˆ3c, from (22) it follows that
    H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)SE+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122β(v1Iu+v2Ir)SE+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1+v2)Δμ+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIu+γIr)Δμ+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122(v1+v2)ε2ε3+ϒ4(v1+v2)ε+ϒ41. (31)
    Which results from (25).
  • Case 4. For any (S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TEˆ4c, in view of (22), we obtain
    H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)d1Iu+d2IrΔμSEIuIrR+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122d1Iu+d2IrΔμSEIuIrR+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1+v2)Δμ+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIu+γIr)Δμ+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122(d1+d2)εε2+ϒ4(d1+d2)ε+ϒ41. (32)
    Which results from (26).
  • Case 5. For any (S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TEˆ5c, in view of (22), we have
    H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)ρ12δ2+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122ρ12δ2+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1+v2)Δμ+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIu+γIr)Δμ+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2+|δ|+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122ρ12ε2+ϒ41. (33)
    Which follows from (27).

Drawing from the evidence presented in inequalities (29), (30), (31), (32) and (33), a straightforward conclusion can be reached, establishing the existence of a sufficiently small ε that satisfies The following condition

H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)1for any(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TEˆc. (34)

So we have

H(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)ϒ5<for any(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)TR+5×R. (35)

Where

ϒ5:=sup(S,E,Iu,Ir,R,δ)R+5×R{N˜(σ+μ)(R0s1)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(v1Iu+v2Ir)+N˜(a1+a2+a3)β(γIuIu+γIrIr)ΔSβ(v1Iu+v2Ir)SEd1Iu+d2IrΔμSEIuIrR+ρ1δ¯δρ12δ2ρ12δ2+δ+βΔ(v1+v2)μ+6μ+2σ+d1+d2+γIu+γIr+σ122}.

By integrating equation (21) over the interval [0,t] for any initial values (S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))Σ and subsequently calculating the mathematical expectation, the following expression is obtained

0EW(S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t))t=EW(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))t+1t0tE(LW(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s)))dsEW(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))t+1t0tE(H(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s)))ds+4N˜a3a5a7σβv2(1ρ)Δ4E[(y0)14f(y)dy1t0t(δ(s)0)14ds]+N˜E[1t0t(A(s)0)ds0yg(y)dy]. (36)

Utilizing the ergodic properties of both δ(t) and A(t), along with the strong law of large numbers as demonstrated in [35], we derive the following

limtE[(y0)14f(y)dy1t0t(δ(s)0)14ds]=0a.s.

and

limtE[1t0t(A(s)0)ds0yg(y)dy]=0a.s.

Therefore, by applying the inferior limit to both sides of (36), we deduce the subsequent outcome

0liminftEW(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))t+liminft1t0tE(H(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s)))ds=liminft1t0tE(H(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s)))dsa.s. (37)

Furthermore, in accordance with to (34) and (35), it follows that we obtain

liminft1t0tE(H(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s)))ds=liminft1t0tE(H(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s)))1(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s))TEˆds+liminft1t0tE(H(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s)))1(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s))T(ΣEˆ)dsϒ5liminft1t0t1(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s))TEˆdsliminft1t0t1(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s))T(ΣEˆ)ds1+(ϒ5+1)liminft1t0t1(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s))TEˆds. (38)

Consequently, from (37) and (38) lead to the conclusion that

liminft1t0t1(S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s))TEˆds1ϒ5+1>0a.s. (39)

Considering the event probability definition and the application of Fatou's lemma [12], [31], [51]. The result (39) is equivalent to

liminft1t0tP(s,S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s),Eˆ)ds1ϒ5+1>0a.s. (40)

Where P(s,S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s),Eˆ) is the transition probability of (S(s),E(s),Iu(s),Ir(s),R(s),δ(s))T belonging to set Eˆ. Thus, we have fulfilled the conditions of Lemma 3.1 and thus the system (2) has at least one stationary distribution Θ(.) on R+5×R which has the Feller property. This completes the proof.

4. Extinction of the disease

Within this portion, we will set forth the sufficient conditions for the complete eradication of the disease.

Theorem 4.1

Consider the solution(S(t),E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t))to system(2)with initial value(S(0),E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0),R(0),δ(0))R+5×R. If

R0EX=R32+(R32)2+(R1+R23)33+R32(R32)2+(R1+R23)33<1

and

ψ=min{σ+μ,μ+d1+δ¯+γIu,μ+d2+γIr}(R0EX1)+(v1(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)(μ+d2+γIr)REXR0EX(μ+d2+γIr)S0v1+δ¯S0v2+(μ+d2+γIr)R0EXS0)0|ls0|Θ(l,δ)dldδ+(v2(μ+d1δ¯+γIu)R0EXv1(μ+d2+γIr)R0EX+δ¯v2+1)σ1πρ1is negative.

ThenlimtE(t)=0,limtIu(t)=0,limtIr(t)=0a.s.

Specifically, the disease undergoes exponential extinction with a almost surely.

Proof 4.1

Based on the first equation of system (2), we have:

dS(t)(ΔμS)dt

Let the following auxiliary logistical equation be

dL(t)=(ΔμL)dt. (41)

Assume that L(t) represents the solution of (41) with the initial condition L(0)=S(0)>0. Referring to the theorem shown in [25], we obtain S(t)L(t), for any t0 a.s.

Furthermore, B it is readily apparent that a three-dimensional matrix possesses a non-negative eigenvector on the left and R0EX(ϑ1,ϑ2,ϑ3)=(ϑ1,ϑ2,ϑ3)B and

B=(0βS0v1σ+μβS0v2σ+μσ(1ρ)μ+d1+δ¯+γIu00σρμ+d2+γIrδ¯μ+d2+γIr0)

Define a C2-lyapunov function Ģ(E,Iu,Ir) by

Ģ(E,Iu,Ir)=α1E+α2Iu+α3Ir.

Where

α1=ϑ1σ+μ,α2=ϑ2μ+d1+δ¯+γIu,α3=ϑ3μ+d2+γIr.

Which implies

L(lnĢ)=1Ģ[α1(β(v1Iu+v2Ir)S(σ+μ)E)+α2(σ(1ρ)E(μ+d1+δ˜+γIu)Iu)+α3(σρE+δ˜Iu(μ+d2+γIr)Ir)]=1Ģ[α1(β(v1Iu+v2Ir)S0(σ+μ)E)+α2(σ(1ρ)E(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)Iu)+α3(σρE+δ¯Iu(μ+d2+γIr)Ir)]+α1(β(v1Iu+v2Ir)(SS0)Ģ+α2(δ¯δ˜)IuĢ+α3(δ˜δ¯)IuĢ1Ģ[ϑ1σ+μ(β(v1Iu+v2Ir)S0(σ+μ)E)+ϑ2μ+d1+δ¯+γIu(σ(1ρ)E(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)Iu)+ϑ3μ+d2+γIr(σρE+δ¯Iu(μ+d2+γIr)Ir)]+α1(β(v1Iu+v2Ir)(LS0)Ģ+α2|δ˜δ¯|IuĢ+α3|δ˜δ¯|IuĢ1Ģ(ϑ1,ϑ2,ϑ3)(B(E,Iu,Ir)T(E,Iu,Ir)T)+α1(β(v1Iu+v2Ir)(LS0)Ģ+(α2+α3)|δ˜δ¯|IuĢ1Ģ(R0EX1)(ϑ1E+ϑ2Iu+ϑ3Ir)+α1β(α3v1+α2v2)α2α3|LS0|+(α2+α3)α2|δ˜δ¯|1Ģ(R0EX1)(α1(σ+μ)E+α2(μ+d1δ¯+γIu)Iu+α3(μ+d2+γIr)Ir)+α1β(α3v1+α2v2)α2α3|LS0|+(α2+α3)α2|δ˜δ¯|min{σ+μ,μ+d1+δ¯+γIu,μ+d2+γIr}(R0EX1)+χ1|LS0|+χ2|δ˜δ¯|. (42)

Where

χ1:=v1(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)(μ+d2+γIr)REXREX(μ+d2+γIr)S0v1+δ¯S0v2+(μ+d2+γIr)R0EXS0
χ2=v2(μ+d1δ¯+γIu)R0EXv1(μ+d2+γIr)R0EX+δ¯v2+1.

Upon integrating both sides of (42) over the interval [0,t] and subsequently dividing by t, it follows that

lnĢ(E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t))tlnĢ(E(0),Iu(0),Ir(0))t+min{σ+μ,μ+d1+δ¯+γIu,μ+d2+γIr}(R0EX1)+χ11t0t|L(s)S0|ds+χ21t0t|δ˜(s)δ¯|ds. (43)

Considering Theorem 3.1 along with the strong law of large numbers [30], [31], [35], [51], we can conclude that the process (L(t),δ(t)) possesses a distinct stationary distribution Θ(.,.) and exhibits the property of ergodicity so

limt1t0t|L(s)S0|ds=0|lS0|Θ(l,δ)dldδ, (44)

and

limt1t0t|δ˜(s)δ¯|ds=|δ˜(y)δ¯|f(y)dy=σ1πρ1. (45)

Applying the upper limit to both sides of (43) and consolidating it with (44) and (45), we arrive at

limsuptlnĢ(E(t),Iu(t),Ir(t))tmin{σ+μ,μ+d1+δ¯+γIu,μ+d2+γIr}(R0EX1)+χ10|lS0|Θ(l,δ)dldδ+χ2σ1πρ1:=ψa.s.

and if ψ is negative, we can deduce from this:

limsuptlnE(t)t<0,limsuptlnIu(t)t<0andlimsuptlnIr(t)t<0a.s.

This entails that

limtE(t)=0,limtIu(t)=0andlimtIr(t)=0a.s.

This finalizes the theorem's proof.

5. Numerical results

Using the advanced technique outlined by Milstein in reference [22], the discretized equation corresponding to system (2) can be derived

{S[j+1]=S[j]+(Δβ(v1Iu[j]+v2Ir[j])S[j]μS[j])Δt,E[j+1]=E[j]+(β(v1Iu[j]+v2Ir[j])S[j](σ+μ)E[j])Δt,Iu[j+1]=Iu[j]+(σ(1ρ)E[j](μ+d1+max(δ[j],0)+γIu)Iu[j])Δt,Ir[j+1]=Ir[j]+(σρE[j]+max(δ[j],0)Iu[j](μ+d2+γIr)Ir[j])Δt,R[j+1]=R[j]+(γIuIu[j]+γIrIr[j]μR[j])Δt,δ[j+1]=δ[j]+ρ1(δ¯δ[j])Δt+σ1Δtιj. (46)

In accordance with the jth iteration of Equation (46), denoted as (S[j],E[j],Iu[j],Ir[j],R[j],δ[j]), where Δt represents the positive time increment, ιj signifies independent Gaussian random variables adhering to the N(0,1) distribution for j=1,...,n. Realistic parameter values are selected from established sources, and the biological parameters are comprehensively listed in Table 2.

In this section, our primary focus is on confirming the validity of the following two outcomes:

  • 1.

    The condition for R0s>1 leads to the existence of a distinctive ergodic stationary distribution.

  • 2.

    Model (2) undergoes exponential extinction when R0EX<1 and ψ<0.

Example 5.1

Given the values β=0.6594,ρ1=0.1 and σ1=0.02, a calculation yields

R0s=S0(σ+μ)(σβv1(1ρ)(δ¯+γIu+μ+d1)+σβν2ρ(γIr+μ+d2)+σβv2(1ρ)(1πδ¯ρ1σ1(σ1ρ1y+δ¯)14ey2dy)4(δ¯+γIu+μ+d1)(γIr+μ+d2))(σβv1(1ρ)Δμ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)2+σβv2(1ρ)Δ(1πδ¯ρ1σ1(σ1ρ1y+δ¯)14ey2dy)4μ(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)2(μ+d2+γIr))σ12πρ1(σ+μ)2.54697>1.

According to Theorem 3.1, we deduce the existence of a singular stationary distribution Θ(.) with ergodic properties, as depicted in Fig. 1.

It's clear that the Fig. 1 illustrates a stationary distribution of a solution of the system, (S(t),E(t), Iu(t),Ir(t),R(t),δ(t))T, which means that the disease will last for a long time.

Example 5.2

Assume that β=0.2,ρ1=4 and σ1=0.08, then we similarly compute that

R0EX=R32+(R32)2+(R1+R23)33+R32(R32)2+(R1+R23)330.16<1

and

ψ=min{σ+μ,μ+d1+δ¯+γIu,μ+d2+γIr}(R0EX1)+(v1(μ+d1+δ¯+γIu)(μ+d2+γIr)REXREX(μ+d2+γIr)S0v1+δ¯S0v2+(μ+d2+γIr)R0EXS0)0|lS0|Θ(l,δ)dldδ+(v2(μ+d1δ¯+γIu)R0EXv1(μ+d2+γIr)R0EX+δ¯v2+1)σ1πρ10.003.

The implications of Theorem 4.1 readily demonstrate that the infected population will undergo exponential extinction, thereby guaranteeing the eradication of the disease outbreak. The graphs in Fig. 2 representing the curves of the populations S(t), E(t), Iu(t) and Ir(t) confirm this result.

The Fig. 2 presents the extinction dynamics of the disease, showing a steady and continuous decline in the number of exposed E, undetected infected Iu, and infected Ir individuals over time. This trend ultimately leads to the disease's eradication.

6. Conclusion

In this paper we analyzed a novel stochastic SEIuIrR model with the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process to describe the transmission rate from undetected to detected individuals. We proved the theoretical results by constructing a series of suitable Lyapunov functions. In the first, we gave the theoretical result that the stochastic SEIuIrR system (2) has a unique global positive solution and proved it. Then, we established sufficient criteria for the existence of stationary distribution and exposed the effects of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process on the existence of stationary distribution. Specifically, if R0s>1 and the parameters δ of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process meet certain conditions, the system (2) exists with a stable distribution. In addition, we derived the sufficient conditions when R0EX<1 for the extinction of the disease. We used numerical simulation to simulate and verify the theoretical results in the paper.
