Dynamical analysis of cigarette smoking model with a saturated incidence rate

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a delayed smoking model in which the potential smokers are assumed to satisfy the logistic equation. We discuss the dynamical behavior of our proposed model in the form of Delayed Differential Equations (DDEs) and show conditions for asymptotic stability of the model in steady state. We also discuss the Hopf bifurcation analysis of considered model. Finally, we use the nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme to show the results graphically with help of MATLAB.
