Stability of stochastic model for Hepatitis C transmission with an isolation stage

Abstract

In this paper we construct and investigate stability features of two stochastic hepatitis C models with an isolation stage which are obtained by an introduction of stochastic perturbations into the deterministic model for hepatitis C with an isolation stage. One of the stochastic models has only disease- free equilibrium and the other endemic equilibrium state. Aforementioned equilibriums belong to the equilibriums of corresponding deterministic system. For both of models, first of all, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global positive stochastic solution. Thereafter, by using suitable Lyapunov functions, we investigate stability properties of both models. We close the paper with numerical simulation with reliable data of hepatitis C transmission to illustrate our theoretical results.
