Recent years have witnessed a rapid development in the understanding of the transmission mechanism and the prevalence of diseases in mathematical epidemiology by compartmental modeling. Common categories of compartmental epidemic models, such as SIS [1,2], SIR [3,4,5], SEIR[6,7,8,9] and some other types of epidemic models [10,11,12,13], have been extensively studied by many researchers. Considering that using a vaccine to inhibit the spread of disease is an effective and sustainable method, researchers try to explore the effect of the vaccination measure by introducing a vaccinated (V) class into a mathematical model. Some clinical outcomes [14,15,16] have demonstrated that vaccines only provide temporary immunity to the disease, i.e., a person who has received the vaccination will once again be susceptible to the disease after the vaccine wears off. This contributes significantly to improving our understanding of disease prevention and control. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the SEIVS epidemic model (see [17,18]). Recently, Wang et al.[19] put forward the following SEIVS epidemic model with latency and temporary immunity described by a system of ordinary differential equations:
{dS=[(1−p)A−μS−βIρSα1+eIκ+δV]dt,dE=[βIρSα1+eIκ−(μ+ε+η)E]dt,dI=[εE−(μ+τ)I]dt,dV=[pA+τI+ηE−(μ+δ)V]dt, | (1.1) |
where 0<ρ≤1, 0≤κ≤2, α>0, V stands for the vaccinated compartment and the recovered and all parameters are positive. Parameter A is the recruitment rate, p stands for the fraction of the newborns vaccinated, μ represents the natural death rate, β measures the disease transmission coefficient, e refers to the inhibitory effect, η depicts the recovery rate of E due to natural immunity, 1/δ means the average time of immunity waning, 1/ε represents the latent period and 1/τ represents the mean infectious period. In particular, if α=κ=ρ=1 for the nonlinear incidence rate βIρSα/(1+eIκ) in model (1.1), then the regressive epidemic model with a saturated incidence rate becomes
{dS=[(1−p)A−μS−βIS1+eI+δV]dt,dE=[βIS1+eI−(μ+ε+η)E]dt,dI=[εE−(μ+τ)I]dt,dV=[pA+τI+ηE−(μ+δ)V]dt. | (1.2) |
Similar to [19], the matrices F and V of model (1.2) respectively take the form F=(fij)2×2 and V=(vij)2×2 where f11=0, f12=βS0, f21=0, f22=0, v11=μ+ε+η, v12=0, v21=−ε, v22=μ+τ and Q0=(S0,0,0,V0)=(A((1−p)μ+δ)μ(μ+δ),0,0,pAμ+δ), so the basic reproduction number Rc=ρ(FV−1)=εβA((1−p)μ+δ)μ(μ+τ)(μ+ε+η)(μ+δ) of model (1.2), which determines whether an epidemic will develop. Moreover, the corresponding dynamical results are summarized as follows:
∙ If Rc≤1, the disease-free equilibrium Q0=(S0,0,0,V0) of model (1.2) is globally asymptotically stable, which means that the disease cannot spread.
∙ If Rc>1, the endemic equilibrium Q∗=(S∗,E∗,I∗,V∗) of model (1.2) is globally asymptotically stable, which means that the disease always remains in a population.
In the real world, environmental noises are ubiquitous and may more and less affect the transmission of epidemics. To reflect this fact, it is more realistic to research the corresponding stochastic model by incorporating environmental noises into the deterministic model (1.2). Particularly, white noise and telephone noise are two common types of noises. On the one hand, many scholars have done numerous significant studies by considering white noise and obtained rich results[20,21,22,23]. For example, an insightful work of Mao et al.[20] clearly indicated that white noise could effectively inhibit the explosion of a potential population. Note that Lu et al.[21] investigated an SEIQV epidemic model by considering higher-order perturbation and proved the ergodic stationary distribution (ESD) and the extinction, and they also discussed the equilibrium stability of the model. Rajasekar et al.[22] derived sufficient conditions for the ESD and the extinction of a second-order perturbed SIRS epidemic model with relapse and media impact. Along with the interesting idea of higher-order white noise, we introduce it into model (1.2) and formulate a stochastic version:
{dS=[(1−p)A−μS−βIS1+eI+δV]dt+(σ11+σ12S)SdB1(t),dE=[βIS1+eI−(μ+ε+η)E]dt+(σ21+σ22E)EdB2(t),dI=[εE−(μ+τ)I]dt+(σ31+σ32I)IdB3(t),dV=[pA+τI+ηE−(μ+δ)V]dt+(σ41+σ42V)VdB4(t), | (1.3) |
where the initial values and all parameters are positive, Bi(t) (i=1,⋯,4) are independent standard Brownians and σ2i1 and σ2i2 represent their intensities.
On the other hand, the system may switch from an environmental regime to another when it is affected by telegraph noise[24,25,26]. The switching is generally memoryless and the waiting time for the next switch follows exponential distribution. Mathematically, this switching of environmental regimes can be characterized by a continuous-time Markov chain (r(t))t≥0 with a finite state space S={1,2,...,N} and the generator matrix Γ=(γij)N×N, for Δ>0,γij≥0:
P(r(t+Δ)=j|r(t)=i)={γijΔ+o(Δ), if i≠j,1+γijΔ+o(Δ), if i=j, |
where γij>0 is the transition rate from state i to state j satisfying ∑Nj=1γij=0 when i≠j (see [27,28]). It is worthy of attention that a mass of epidemic models with both white noise and telegraph noise have been studied[29,30,31,32]. For instance, Han and Zhao investigated an SIRS epidemic model influenced by two types of noises and obtained the asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium point of the corresponding deterministic model [29]. Zhou et al. constructed an SEQIHR epidemic model with media coverage and Markov switching, and obtained the extinction and the ESD [31]. Motivated by these arguments, we further formulate a new stochastic version of model (1.2) with white noise and Markov switching, as follows:
{dS=[(1−p(r(t)))A(r(t))−μ(r(t))S−β(r(t))IS1+e(r(t))I+δ(r(t))V]dtdS=+[σ11(r(t))+σ12(r(t))S]SdB1(t),dE=[β(r(t))IS1+e(r(t))I−(μ(r(t))+ε(r(t))+η(r(t)))E]dtdE=+[σ21(r(t))+σ22(r(t))E]EdB2(t),dI=[ε(r(t))E−(μ(r(t))+τ(r(t)))I]dt+[σ31(r(t))+σ32(r(t))I]IdB3(t),dV=[p(r(t))A(r(t))+τ(r(t))I+η(r(t))E−(μ(r(t))+δ(r(t)))V]dtdV)=+[σ41(r(t))+σ42(r(t))V]VdB4(t). | (1.4) |
As a continuation of the work previously studied by Wang et al. [19], we introduce white noise and telegraph noise into the regression model (1.2) with saturation incidence and temporary immunity and further propose two stochastic SEIVS models (models (1.3) and (1.4)) with high-order perturbation. Furthermore, the primary contributions of this study aim to analyze the stationary distributions of models (1.3) and (1.4), which are concerned with the stochastic statistical characteristic of the long-term behaviors of the sample trajectories. To the best of our knowledge, the existence and uniqueness of the stationary distributions of models (1.3) and (1.4) have not been investigated in any of the published articles so far. We now provide a brief outline of the paper. First, we define some crucial mathematical concepts and lemmas in Section 2. Section 3 focuses on the theoretical analysis results of models (1.3) and (1.4) by using Has'minskii theory and Lyapunov functionals. Numerical examples are given in Section 4. In the end, this paper's conclusions and future directions are provided in Section 5.
This section provides several useful preliminaries and lemmas that will be applied to the proof of the dynamic behaviors of models (1.3) and (1.4). Define Rn+={z∈Rn|zi>0,1≤i≤n}. For the Markov chain r(t), assume that it is irreducible; then, there is a unique stationary distribution π={π1,π2,...,πN} which is determined by πΓ=0 and ∑Nk=1πk=1 (πk>0) for any k∈S. For the bounded constant sequence h(k), assign ˆh=mink∈S{h(k)} and ˇh=maxk∈S{h(k)}. The Markov chain r(t) is independent of the Brownian motion Bi(t)(i=1,2,3,4). The initial values and coefficients p(k), A(k), μ(k), e(k), β(k), δ(k), ε(k), η(k), τ(k), σi1(k) and σi2(k) of model (1.4) are positive for any k∈S.
Lemma 2.1. [33] For any x≥0, one has
(i) x3≥(x−12)(x2+1); (ii) x4≥(34x2−14)(x2+1). |
Let X(t) be a regular time-homogeneous Markov process in Rn described by the following stochastic differential equation
dX(t)=f1(X(t))dt+n∑ℓ=1gℓ(X(t))dBℓ(t). |
The diffusion matrix of the Markov process X(t) is given by
Λ(x)=(mij(x)),mij(x)=n∑ℓ=1giℓ(x)gjℓ(x). | (2.1) |
Lemma 2.2. [34] The Markov process X(t) admits a unique ESD π(⋅) if there exists an open domain ζ⊂Rn with the regular boundary ℏ such that
(H1): for all x∈ζ, the diffusion matrix Λ(x) is strictly positive definite;
(H2): for any Rn∖ζ, LU is negative, where U is a nonnegative C2-function.
Suppose that the diffusion process (X(t),r(t)) satisfies the following equation
{dX(t)=f2(X(t),r(t))dt+G(X(t),r(t))dB(t),X(0)=x0,r(0)=r0. | (2.2) |
Assign f2(⋅,⋅):Rn×S→Rn and G(⋅,⋅):Rn×S→Rn×n such that G(x,k)GT(x,k)=(dij(x,k)). Define the operator L related to (2.2) as below
LH(x,k)=n∑i=1f2i(x,k)∂H(x,k)∂xi+12n∑i,j=1dij(x,k)∂2H(x,k)∂xi∂xj+N∑ι=1ϖkιH(x,ι), |
where H(x,k) is twice continuously differentiable with respect to x.
Lemma 2.3. [34] System (2.2) admits a unique ESD if the following assumptions hold:
(i) γij>0 for any i≠j;
(ii) For each k∈S, the matrix P(x,k)=(Pij(x,k)) is symmetric satisfying
φ|ξ|2≤⟨P(x,k)ξ,ξ⟩≤φ−1|ξ|2, ξ∈Rn, |
with some constant φ∈(0,1];
(iii) There exists a twice continuously differentiable function H(⋅,k):Dc×S→R such that
LH(x,k)≤−ω, for some ω>0, |
where Dc is the complement of a bounded open subset D∈Rn with a smooth boundary. Moreover, there exists a unique stationary density π(⋅,⋅) for any Borel measurable function ς(⋅,⋅):Rn×S→R such that
∑k∈S ∫Rn|ς(x,k)|π(dx,k)<+∞, |
which means that
P(limt→∞1t∫t0ς(X(s),r(s))ds=∑k∈S∫Rnς(x,k)π(dx,k))=1. |
In what follows, two lemmas are exhibited to prove the existence and uniqueness of global positive solutions for models (1.3) and (1.4), respectively.
Lemma 2.4. For any initial data X(0)=(S(0),E(0),I(0),V(0))∈R4+ and t∈[0,+∞), model (1.3) admits a unique global positive solution X(t)=(S(t),E(t),I(t),V(t)) a.s.
Proof. Define a C2-function W1: R4+→R+ for 0<a<1:
W1(X(t))=(Saa−1−lnS)+(Eaa−1−lnE)+(Iaa−1−lnI)+(Vaa−1−lnV). | (2.3) |
Utilizing Itô's formula, we get

where
C1=maxS∈R+{1S1−a−1S}, C2=maxE∈R+{1E1−a−1E}, C3=maxI∈R+{1I1−a−1I}, C4=maxV∈R+{1V1−a−1V}. |
Define
f(S)=−12(1−a)σ212Sa+2+σ2122S2+(βC2e+σ11σ12)S; | (2.5) |
we can obtain
f′(S)=−12(1−a)σ212(a+2)Sa+1+σ212S+βC2e+σ11σ12, | (2.6) |
and
f″(S)=−12(1−a)σ212(a+2)(a+1)Sa+σ212. | (2.7) |
Let f″(S)=0, we get
S0=a√2σ212(1−a)σ212(a+2)(a+1)Sa. | (2.8) |
When S<S0, we have f″(S)>0; then, f′(S) is monotonically increasing. While S>S0, we have f″(S)<0; then, f′(S) is monotonically decreasing. Obviously, f′(0)=βC2e+σ11σ12>0, so we can obtain that f′(S) has a maximum value f′(S0)>0.
Also, when S→+∞, f′(S)→−∞ which means that there must exist S1 such that f′(S1)=0. Similarly, f′(S)>0 when S∈(0,S1); then, f(S) is monotonically increasing and f′(S)<0 when S∈(S1,+∞); then, f(S) is monotonically decreasing. Since f(S) is a continuous function, f(S) has a guaranteed upper-bound which is positive. The same analysis can be applied to E, I and V. Then we obtain
sup(S,E,I,V)∈R+4y1(S,E,I,V)=P1<+∞. | (2.9) |
Thus P1 is a positive constant. Hence we can obtain LW1≤P1. The remaining proof is analogous to that of Theorem 2.1 in [35]; hence, we skip the details.
Lemma 2.5. For any initial data (X(0),r(0))∈R4+×S, model (1.4) has a unique positive solution (X(t),r(t)) on t≥0 a.s.
Proof. Define W2(S,E,I,V,k):R4+×S→R:
W2=((ˆσ11S+ˆσ12)ϱϱ−lnS)+((ˆσ21E+ˆσ22)ϱϱ−lnE)W2=+((ˆσ31I+ˆσ32)ϱϱ−lnI)+((ˆσ41V+ˆσ42)ϱϱ−lnV), | (2.10) |
where ϱ∈(0,1) is a constant and k∈S. Note that
lim infn→+∞,(S,E,I,V,k)∈(R4+∖Gn)×SW2(S,E,I,V,k)=+∞, | (2.11) |
where Gn=(1n,n)×(1n,n)×(1n,n)×(1n,n). It is easy to see that W2 has a minimal value ¯W0 in R4+×S; then, we consider a function ¯W2(S,E,I,V,k), as follows:
¯W2(S,E,I,V,k)=W2(S,E,I,V,k)−¯W0. | (2.12) |
By using Itô's formula, we have
L¯W2=ˆσ11(ˆσ11+ˆσ12S)ϱ−1[(1−p(k))A(k)−μ(k)S−β(k)ISI+e(k)I+δ(k)V]+β(k)I1+e(k)IL¯W2=+ˆσ21(ˆσ21+ˆσ22E)ϱ−1[β(k)ISI+e(k)I−E(μ(k)+ε(k)+η(k))]−(1−p(k))A(k)SL¯W2=+ˆσ31(ˆσ31+ˆσ32I)ϱ−1[ε(k)E−(μ(k)+τ(k))I]−β(k)IS(1+e(k)I)E+4μ(k)L¯W2=+ˆσ41(ˆσ41+ˆσ42V)ϱ−1[p(k)A(k)+τ(k)I+η(k)E−(μ(k)+δ(k))V]−δ(k)VSL¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ211(σ11(k)+σ12(k)S)2S22(ˆσ11+ˆσ12S)2−ϱ+12(σ11(k)+σ12(k)S)2+ε(k)L¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ221(σ21(k)+σ22(k)E)2E22(ˆσ21+ˆσ22E)2−ϱ+12(σ21(k)+σ22(k)E)2+η(k)L¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ231(σ31(k)+σ32(k)I)2I22(ˆσ31+ˆσ32I)2−ϱ+12(σ31(k)+σ32(k)I)2+τ(k)L¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ241(σ41(k)+σ42(k)V)2V22(ˆσ41+ˆσ42V)2−ϱ+12(σ41(k)+σ42(k)V)2+δ(k)L¯W2=−p(k)A(k)+τ(k)I+η(k)EV−ε(k)EIL¯W2≤−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ122S2+ϱ+ˆσϱ11(ˇA+ˇδV)+4ˇμ+ˇβˆe+12(ˇσ11+ˇσ12S)2L¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ222E2+ϱ+ˆσϱ21ˇβIS1+ˆeI+ˇε+ˇη+12(ˇσ21+ˇσ22E)2L¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ322I2+ϱ+ˆσϱ31(ˇεE)+ˇτ+12(ˇσ31+ˇσ32I)2L¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ422V2+ϱ+ˆσϱ41(ˇpˇA+ˇτI+ˇηE)+ˇδ+12(ˇσ41+ˇσ42V)2L¯W2≤−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ122S2+ϱ+12ˇσ12S2+(ˇσ11ˇσ12+ˆσϱ21ˇβˆe)SL¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ222E2+ϱ+12ˇσ22E2+(ˇσ21ˇσ22+ˆσϱ31ˇε+ˆσϱ41ˇη)EL¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ322I2+ϱ+12ˇσ32I2+(ˇσ31ˇσ32+ˆσϱ41ˇτ)IL¯W2=−(1−ϱ)ˆσ2+ϱ422V2+ϱ+12ˇσ42V2+(ˆσϱ11ˇδ+ˇσ41ˇσ42)V+λL¯W2:=y2(S,E,I,V), | (2.13) |

Similar to the proof of the upper-bound P1 of y1(S,E,I,V) (see (2.5)–(2.9)), we can obtain a positive constant P2 such that
sup(S,E,I,V)∈R+4y2(S,E,I,V)=P2<+∞. | (2.14) |
As a result, we can get L¯W2≤P2. The remaining proof is nearly identical to those in Theorem 2.1 of [36] and is omitted.
In this section, by using the Has'minskii theory [34] and a Lyapunov functional, we shall prove the existence of the unique ESD for models (1.3) and (1.4), respectively.
Theorem 3.1. If
Rs0=(1−p)Aβε[(μ+σ2112+2√(1−p)Aσ11σ12+23√(1−p)2A2σ212)Rs0=×(μ+ε+η+σ2212+23√(1−p)2A2σ222)(μ+τ+σ2312)]−1>1, |
then for any initial data X(0)∈R4+, model (1.3) admits a unique ESD.
Proof. We only need to verify that each assumption in Lemma 2.2 holds when Theorem 3.1 is valid. In what follows, we divide this proof into the following two steps.
Step 1 (Positive definiteness of diffusion matrix). According to model (1.3), we have
Λ(S,E,I,V)=diag((σ11+σ12S)2S2,(σ21+σ22E)2E2,(σ31+σ32I)2I2,(σ41+σ42V)2V2). |
Obviously, Λ(S,E,I,V) is positive definite. Therefore, the assumption (H1) in Lemma 2.2 holds.
Step 2 (Construction of a non negative C2-function). It is worth mentioning that the crucial part of this step is to construct a suitable non negative Lyapunov function so that the assumption (H2) holds. For convenience, we first define the following q-stochastic critical value Rs0(q) corresponding to Rs0:
Rs0(q)=(1−p)Aβε[(μ+σ2112+2√(1−p)Aσ11σ121−q+23√(1−p)2A2σ212(1−q)2)Rs0(q)=×(μ+ε+η+σ2212+23√(1−p)2A2σ222(1−q)2)(μ+τ+σ2312)]−1, |
where q∈(0,1) is a sufficiently small constant. Thus, it is easy to derive that
infq∈(0,1)Rs0(q)=limq→0+Rs0(q)=Rs0. |
When Rs0>1, it follows from the continuity of Rs0(q) that there exists an adequately small q such that Rs0(q)>1. To do so, we define
U1=U11+U12, | (3.1) |
where
U11=−D1lnS, U12=D12∑i=1ai(S+bi)qq, |
and D1, ai and bi (i=1,2) will be given later. According to model (1.3), we calculate
LU11=−D1(1−p)A+δVS+D1βI1+eI+D1(σ2112+σ2122S2+σ11σ12S)+D1μ, | (3.2) |
and

and then (3.3) can be simplified as

where the positive number M is large enough to satisfy −M(Rs0(q)−1)+C5≤−2 and C5 will be established later. Since ˜U(S,E,I,V) is a continuous function, it follows that
limϑ→+∞,(S,E,I,V)∈R4+∖Wϑ˜U(S,E,I,V)=+∞, |
where Wϑ=(1ϑ,ϑ)×(1ϑ,ϑ)×(1ϑ,ϑ)×(1ϑ,ϑ) and ϑ>1 is a sufficiently large integer.
Now, we consider the following nonnegative C2-function:

and the constants J and C5 are given explicitly in (3.30) and (3.31), respectively. We split R4+∖Wϵ into the following eight regions:
W1={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:S≤ϵ}, W2={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:S≥1ϵ},W3={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:E≤ϵ}, W4={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:E≥1ϵ},W5={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:I≤ϵ2,E>ϵ}, W6={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:I≥1ϵ2},W7={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:V≤ϵ2,E>ϵ}, W8={(S,E,I,V)∈R4+:V≥1ϵ2}. |
Obviously, R4+∖Wϵ=Wcϵ=W1∪W2∪W3∪W4∪W5∪W6∪W7∪W8. Then, we need to verify that LU(S,E,I,V)≤−1 on (S,E,I,V)∈R4+∖Wϵ.

In short, there is a sufficiently small ϵ such that
LU≤−1 for all (S,E,I,V)∈R4+∖Wϵ. |
Then we draw a conclusion from Steps 1 and 2 that model (1.3) has a unique ESD.
Theorem 3.2. The solution (X(t),r(t))∈R4+×S of model (1.4) admits a unique ESD when
Rs1=(N∑k=1πk(1−p(k))A(k)β(k)ε(k))[(2(N∑k=1πk(1−p(k))A(k))23(N∑k=1πkσ212(k))13F1=+N∑k=1πk(μ(k)+σ211(k)2)+2(N∑k=1πk(1−p(k))A(k))12(N∑k=1πkσ11(k)σ12(k))12)F1=×(2(N∑k=1πk(1−p(k))A(k))23(N∑k=1πkσ222(k))13+N∑k=1πk(μ(k)+ε(k)+η(k)F1=+σ221(k)2))(N∑k=1πk(μ(k)+τ(k)+σ231(k)2))]−1>1. |
Proof. We employ Lemma 2.3 to verify Theorem 3.2, which needs to satisfy the assumptions (ⅰ)–(ⅲ). Here, we shall divide the whole proof of Theorem 3.2 into three steps.
Step 1 (Transition coefficient). According to the basic property of the generator Γ in Section 2, namely γij>0, assumption (ⅰ) in Lemma 2.3 is clearly valid.
Step 2 (Positive definiteness of diffusion matrix). The diffusion matrix of model (1.4) is
Φ(S,E,I,V,k)=diag((σ11(k)+σ12(k)S)2S2,(σ21(k)+σ22(k)E)2E2,Φ(S,E,I,V,k)=diag((σ31(k)+σ32(k)I)2I2,(σ41(k)+σ42(k)V)2V2). |
Evidently, the matrix Φ(S,E,I,V,k) is positive definite and assumption (ⅱ) is verified.
Step 3 (Construction of a non negative C2-function). In this step, we will show that assumption (ⅲ) holds. Since the proof is similar to Step 2 in the proof of Theorem 3.1, we pay attention to the different parts. For an adequately small constant ψ∈(0,1), define
Rs1(ψ)=(N∑k=1πk(1−p(k))A(k)β(k)ε(k))[(2(∑Nk=1πk(1−p(k))A(k))23(∑Nk=1πkσ212(k))13(1−ψ)23Rs1(ψ)=+N∑k=1πk(μ(k)+σ211(k)2)+2(∑Nk=1πk(1−p(k))A(k))12(∑Nk=1πkσ11(k)σ12(k))12(1−ψ)12)Rs1(ψ)=×(2(∑Nk=1πk(1−p(k))A(k))23(∑Nk=1πkσ222(k))13(1−ψ)23+N∑k=1πk(μ(k)+ε(k)+η(k)Rs1(ψ)=+σ221(k)2))(N∑k=1πk(μ(k)+τ(k)+σ231(k)2))]−1. |

What is more, we construct a suitable nonnegative C2-function:

The remaining proof is similar to that of Theorem 3.1. Thus, we omit it here.
To sum up, the above three steps assure that Model (1.4) has a unique ESD under Rs1>1.
In the present section, we are interested in providing two numerical examples to confirm the obtained mathematical results for models (1.3) and (1.4). For the sake of analysis, we fix the initial condition (S(0),E(0),I(0),V(0))=(0.8,0.2,0.3,0.3), and the parameter values involved in both models are given according to different actual needs. The details are below.
Example 4.1 Let us consider model (1.3) with the parameters μ=1/77, δ=0.05, e=10−6, p=0.2, β=0.35, A=0.5, τ=0.4, ε=0.7, η=0.2 and the corresponding noise values σ11=0.01, σ12=0.02, σ21=0.01, σ22=0.02, σ31=0.005, σ32=0.005, σ41=0.005 and σ42=0.005. By a calculation, one could calculate that RS0=2.1439>1. It is obvious from Theorem 3.1 that model (1.3) has a unique ESD. We plot the sample trajectories and the probability density functions of S(t), E(t), I(t) and V(t), respectively in Figure 2. The obvious conclusion is that reducing the noise intensities σ211, σ212, σ221, σ222 and σ231 and decreasing the fraction of the newborns vaccinated p or increasing the disease transmission coefficient β will lead to the long-term persistence of disease.
Example 4.2 For model (1.4), we only consider the Markov chain r(t) switch among these two states S={1,2} with the generator Γ=(γij)2×2, where γ11=−59, γ12=59, γ21=−49 and γ22=49, and the unique stationary of r(t) is given by π=(π1,π2)=(49,59). Next, we consider two sets of different parameter values to characterize different environmental regimes.
When r(t)=1, we take μ(1)=1/77, δ(1)=0.05, e(1)=10−6, p(1)=0.2, β(1)=0.35, A(1)=0.5, τ(1)=0.4, ε(1)=0.7, η(1)=0.2, σ11(1)=0.01, σ12(1)=0.02, σ21(1)=0.01, σ22(1)=0.02, σ31(1)=0.01, σ32(1)=0.02, σ41(1)=0.01 and σ42(1)=0.02.
When r(t)=2, choose μ(2)=0.28, δ(2)=2.9, e(2)=0.025, p(2)=0.12, β(2)=0.40, A(2)=0.4, τ(2)=0.65, ε(2)=0.02, η(2)=0.02, σ11(2)=0.05, σ12(2)=0.04, σ21(2)=0.05, σ22(2)=0.04, σ31(2)=0.03, σ32(2)=0.04, σ41(2)=0.03 and σ42(2)=0.04.
Combining the above two sets of parameter values, it is easy to check that the condition of Theorem 3.2 is satisfied and Rs1=2.7782>1, which means that model (1.4) owns a unique ESD; see Figure 3. In addition, all of the probability density functions of r(t), S(t), E(t), I(t) and V(t) have two distribution curves, which are caused by two different switching regimes. After a further observation, if we reduce the noise intensities σ211(k), σ212(k), σ221(k), σ222(k) and σ231(k) and the fraction of the newborns vaccinated p(k), or if we increase the disease transmission coefficient β(k), the disease will be prevalent and persistent in the long term.
In this work, we constructed two novel SEIVS models with latency and temporary immunity under higher-order perturbation, incorporating both white noise and telephone noise; see models (1.3) and (1.4). And, the existence and uniqueness of the stationary distribution have been obtained by utilizing Has'minskii theory and a Lyapunov function approach. We found that the noise can influence the dynamic behaviors of disease, which reveals that reducing the noise intensity leads to the persistence of disease.
Meanwhile, sufficient criteria on the existence of the unique ESD of the above two models are established. When Rs0>1, it follows from Theorem 3.1 that model (1.3) owns a unique ESD. Reviewing Theorem 3.2, model (1.4) owns a unique ESD when Rs1>1. It can be concluded from the conditions of these two theorems that the noise intensity, disease transmission coefficient and vaccination rate play a crucial role in the prevalence of disease.
Looking to the future, there are some intriguing questions that warrant further consideration and investigation. For example, one can develop more elaborate models, such as focusing on model (1.1) and taking into account environmental noises, the dynamic properties of the stochastic SEIVS model with the nonlinear incidence rate (βIρSα1+eIκ) are worth exploring. In addition, there exist time delays in the process of information dissemination, taking into account the fact that the impact of time delays can be introduced into model (1.2) [8,12]. Furthermore, there are also some interesting modeling ideas and approaches from different perspectives, such as the multi-group epidemic dynamic models [10,11] and fractional-order models [13]. These works will be shown in other articles.
