Long-time dynamics of a diffusive epidemic model with free boundaries
School of Science and Technology, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia |
In this paper, we determine the long-time dynamical behaviour of a reaction-diffusion system with free boundaries, which models the spreading of an epidemic whose moving front is represented by the free boundaries. The system reduces to the epidemic model of Capasso and Maddalena [
