Stability and Hopf Bifurcation for an SEIR Epidemic Model with Delay

In this paper, first a third degree transcendental polynomial is studied and the distribution of its zeros is established. Then the results are applied to study an SEIR model with a time delay. We show that, under some conditions, as the time delay increases, a stable endemic equilibrium will beco...
