Abstract
We study fast-slow versions of the SIR, SIRS, and SIRWS epidemiological models. The multiple time scale behavior is introduced to account for large differences between some of the rates of the epidemiological pathways. Our main purpose is to show that the fast-slow models, even though in nonstandard form, can be studied by means of Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory (GSPT). In particular, without using Lyapunov's method, we are able to not only analyze the stability of the endemic equilibria but also to show that in some of the models limit cycles arise. We show that the proposed approach is particularly useful in more complicated (higher dimensional) models such as the SIRWS model, for which we provide a detailed description of its dynamics by combining analytic and numerical techniques.
