Stability and Bifurcation Analysis in a Discrete-Time SIR Epidemic Model with Fractional-Order

Abstract In this paper, the dynamical behavior of a discrete SIR epidemic model with fractional-order with non-monotonic incidence rate is discussed. The sufficient conditions of the locally asymptotic stability and bifurcation analysis of the equilibrium points are also discussed. The numerical simulations come to illustrate the dynamical behaviors of the model such as flip bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation and chaos phenomenon. The results of numerical simulation verify our theoretical results.
