TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Modelling the effect of immigration on drinking behaviour JO - Journal of biological dynamics A1 - Xiang, Hong A1 - Zhu, Cheng-Cheng A1 - Huo, Hai-Feng SP - 275 EP - 298 VL - 11 IS - 1 N2 - A drinking model with immigration is constructed. For the model with problem drinking immigration, the model admits only one problem drinking equilibrium. For the model without problem drinking immigration, the model has two equilibria, one is problem drinking-free equilibrium and the other is problem drinking equilibrium. By employing the method of Lyapunov function, stability of all kinds of equilibria is obtained. Numerical simulations are also provided to illustrate our analytical results. Our results show that alcohol immigrants increase the difficulty of the temperance work of the region.
