Stationary distribution of a stochastic model for the transmission dynamics of criminality and victimization with migration

Abstract

Abstract In this article, a stochastic differential equation model is proposed to investigate how the environmental noise affects the transmission dynamics of the interaction between crime, criminality and victimization with the influence of case reporting through the short message service (SMS). We prove that there is a unique global positive solution of the stochastic system with any positive initial value which is fundamental in the dynamics of population modeling. Moreover, we get sufficient criteria for the existence and uniqueness of an ergodic stationary distribution of positive solutions to the system by establishing a series of suitable Lyapunov functions. In a biological viewpoint, the existence of a stationary distribution indicates that both criminal and victim will be persistent and coexistent in the long term.
