Abstract
In this paper, we propose a discrete-time SI epidemic model described by difference equations. The basic reproductive number 0 R of a discrete SI epidemic model is computed and the dynamical behavior of the model is studied. The stability of the disease free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are demonstrated. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the theoretical results.
