Abstract:

Alcohol abuse is a major social problem, which has caused a lot of damages or hidden dangers to the individual and the society. In this paper, with random factors of alcoholism considered in mortality rate of compartment populations, we formulate a stochastic alcoholism model according to compartment theory of infectious disease. Based on this model, we investigate the long-term stochastic dynamics behaviors of two equilibria of the corresponding deterministic model and point out the effect of random disturbance on the stability of the system. We find that when , we get the estimation between the trajectory of stochastic system and in the average in time with respect to the disturbance intensity, while when , stochastic system is ergodic and has the unique stationary distribution. Finally, we carry out numerical simulations to support the corresponding theoretical results.
