Specifically, we examine how various types of bifurcations in the model depend on three key factors: socio-economic processes (SEP), medical resources (MR), and the time scales (TS) associated with SEP and the epidemic.

The most complex bifurcation scenario includes a degenerate Hopf bifurcation, a discontinuous Hopf-like bifurcation, and disappearance of stable and unstable limit cycles in a saddle-node bifurcation, ultimately leading the system to settle into a low-prevalence equilibrium. This complexity arises under the following conditions: (1) the two TS are approximately equal, (2) the SEP factor is high, and (3) MR are inadequate. Intermediate bifurcations between the simplest and most complex cases may occur, depending on the specific combination of the three aforementioned factors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00332-025-10231-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T12:14:01Z","timestamp":1768220041000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Effect of Limited Medical Resource, Socio-Economic Processes and Their Time Scales on Epidemic Models"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"An-Tien","family":"Hsiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonq","family":"Juang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"10231_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtbi.2008.02.026","volume":"253","author":"J Arino","year":"2008","unstructured":"Arino, J., Brauer, F., Driessche, P., Watmough, J., Wu, J.: A model for influenza with vaccination and antiviral treatment.
