Bifurcations and chaos in a discrete SI epidemic model with fractional order

Abstract In this study, a new discrete SI epidemic model is proposed and established from SI fractional-order epidemic model. The existence conditions, the stability of the equilibrium points and the occurrence of bifurcation are analyzed. By using the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory,...
