The Density Function of the Stochastic SIQR Model with a Two-Parameters Mean-Reverting Process
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study develops a stochastic SIQR epidemic model with mean-reverting Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) processes for both transmission rate β(t) and quarantine release rate k(t); this is distinct from existing non-white-noise stochastic epidemic models, most of which focus on single-parameter perturbation or only stability analysis. It synchronously embeds OU dynamics into two core epidemic parameters to capture asynchronous fluctuations between infection spread and control measures. It adopts a rare measure solution framework to derive rigorous infection extinction conditions, linking OU’s ergodicity to long-term β+(t) averages. It obtains the explicit probability density function of the four-dimensional SIQR system, filling the gap of lacking quantifiable density dynamics in prior studies. Simulations validate that R0d<1 ensures almost sure extinction, while R0e>1 leads to stable stochastic persistence.
