The changing face of . All expressions for were generated from the same model, using standard techniques. As the death rate varies, all have the property that if then an outbreak will occur, whereas if , then the disease will be eradicated. However, aside from the common threshold at , none of these expressions are equal to each other. The curve labelled โJacobianโ illustrates , as given by (18). The curve labelled โAdding and subtracting 9โ illustrates the value as given by (20). The curve labelled โNext generationโ illustrates , as given by (25). The curve labelled โConstant term of the characteristic polynomialโ illustrates , as given by (19). The curve labelled โExponentialโ illustrates , as given by (21). In this case, the values are , , , , and .
