Abstract

In this paper an SEIR epidemic model with a limited resource for treatment is investigated. It is assumed that the treatment rate is proportional to the number of patients as long as this number is below a certain capacity and it becomes constant when that number of patients exceeds this capacity. Mathematical analysis is used to study the dynamic behavior of this model. Existence and stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria are investigated. It is shown that this kind of treatment rate leads to the existence of multiple endemic equilibria where the basic reproduction number plays a big role in determining their stability.
