Abstract:
The present study of a nonlinear compartmental SVIR model accounts for the dynamics of infectious diseases in population. In this model, the effect of information on vaccination coverage is quantified when medical resources are limited during the epidemic outbreak. Model analysis is performed and the global asymptotic stability of the disease free equilibrium is established when treatment is available for all infective individuals. However, the existence of multiple endemic equilibria is observed due to saturation in medical treatment and information-induced vaccination coverage. If the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, a unique endemic equilibrium for the model is obtained under some parametric conditions. Using the geometric approach, the global asymptotic stability of this endemic equilibrium is established under a parametric constraint. Further, when medical resources are limited, the existence Hopf bifurcation is shown analytically, which infers the oscillatory persistence of disease within the population. Occurrence of Hopf–Hopf bifurcation is also investigated numerically. At first Hopf bifurcation threshold, an endemic equilibrium loses its stability and produces oscillations, and further, it regains its stability at another Hopf bifurcation threshold when oscillations disappear. Hence, multiple stability switches are observed due to the saturated treatment and information-induced vaccination. The effect of the fading of memory also plays a crucial role and gives rise to complex dynamical behaviour and also affects the stability properties. Numerically, different types of backward bifurcation are also examined. Extensive numerical experimentations are also carried out to further explore the model system

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
