The linear stability and basic reproduction numbers for autonomous FDEs
Xiao‐Qiang Zhao
Abstract
In this paper, we first prove the stability equivalence between a linear autonomous and cooperative functional differential equation (FDE) and its associated autonomous and cooperative system without time delay. Then we present the theory of basic reproduction number $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ for general autonomous FDEs. As an illustrative example, we also establish the threshold dynamics for a time-delayed population model of black-legged ticks in terms of $ \mathcal{R}_0 $.
