abstract: |
Lie group analysis is applied to a core group model for sexually transmitted disease
formulated by Hadeler and Castillo-Chavez [Hadeler K P and Castillo-Chavez C, A
core group model for disease transmission, Math. Biosci. 128 (1995), 4155]. Several
instances of integrability even linearity are found which lead to the general solution
of the model. A discussion of such solutions is presented and it is shown how they
complement Hadeler and Castillo-Chavez's qualitative analysis. |
