A mathematical model analysis of marriage divorce

Abstract

In this paper, a deterministic model for the marriage divorce in a population is proposed and analysed qualitatively using the stability theory of differential equations. The basic reproduction number with respect to the divorce free equilibrium was obtained using next generation matrix approach. The conditions for local and global asymptotic stability of divorce free and endemic equilibria were established. The model exhibits backward bifurcation and the sensitivity indices of the parameters with respect to eradicating or spreading divorce in marriage was determined. Numerical simulation was performed and displayed graphically to justify the analytical results.
