Abstract

This paper is concerned with the spatio-temporal dynamics of an age-structured reaction-diffusion system of KPP-epidemic type (SIS), subject to Neumann boundary conditions and incorporating L1 blow-up type death rate. We first establish the existence of time dependent solutions using age-structured semigroup theory. Afterward, the basic reproduction number R0 is derived by linearizing the system around the disease-free equilibrium state. In the case R0<1, the existence, uniqueness and stability of disease-free equilibrium are shown by using ω-limit set approach of Langlais \citelanglaislarge1988, combined with the technique developed in recent works of Zhao et al. \citezhaospatiotemporal2023 and Ducrot et al. \citeducrotage-structured2024. We highlight that the absence of a general comparison principle for the age-structured SIS-model and non-separable variable mortality rate prevent the direct application of the semi-flow technique developed in \citeducrotage-structured2024 to study the long time dynamics.
