Stochastic Extinction in an SIRS Epidemic Model Incorporating Media Coverage

We extend the classical SIRS epidemic model incorporating media coverage from a deterministic framework to a stochastic differential equation (SDE) and focus on how environmental fluctuations of the contact coefficient affect the extinction of the disease. We give the conditions of existence of uniq...
