Abstract

A compartment epidemic model for infectious disease spreading is investigated, where movement of individuals is governed by spatial diffusion. The model includes infection age of the infected individuals and assumes a logistic growth of the susceptibles. Global well-posedness of the equations within the class of nonnegative smooth solutions is shown. Moreover, spectral properties of the linearization around a steady state are derived. This yields the notion of linear stability which is used to determine stability properties of the disease-free and the endemic steady state in a special case of the model.
