報(bào)告摘要: The global stability of equilibria of epidemic models plays an important role in understanding the underlying disease transmission mechanisms. One of the most powerful approaches to determine global stability is Lyapunov’s direct method. The method involves constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function and verifying negative (semi-)defifiniteness of its derivative along solutions, which often are not easy to achieve. This talk reports some new ideas on applying Lyapunov’s direct method. On the one hand, a new kind of function for constructing Lyapunov functions is given. On the other hand, a new procedure to determine whether a given Lyapunov function candidate works or not is developed. The procedure consists of a novel way to rearrange the terms of the derivative along solutions.
