摘 要:We formulate a model describing the dynamics for the spatial propagation of an SIS epidemic within a population,with age structure,living in an environment divided into two *** analysis of the model is *** prove the existence of a unique disease free equilibrium (DFE)and its (local and global)***,we assume that fast infection processes and fast migration processes take place in the above-mentioned model;*** processes last only a few days (less than a week).In opposition to such processes,demographic processes such as birth,death and maturation last quite a lot of *** a gap between the time scales gives rise to a multiple time scales model,in particular a singularly perturbed *** a singular perturbation analysis,based on Tikhonov theorem,we prove that for certain classes of initial conditions the nonlinear perturbed model can be approximated with very good accuracy by lower-dimensional linear models.
