Real life application of Caputo fractional derivative for measles epidemiological autonomous dynamical system

Modelling and Analysis of a Measles Epidemic Model with the Constant Proportional Caputo Operator

Despite the existence of a secure and reliable immunization, measles, also known as rubeola, continues to be a leading cause of fatalities globally, especially in underdeveloped nations. For investigation and observation of the dynamical transmission of the disease with the influence of vaccination, we proposed a novel fractional order measles model with a constant proportional (CP) Caputo operator. We analysed the proposed model’s positivity, boundedness, well-posedness, and biological viability. Reproductive and strength numbers were also verified to examine how the illness dynamically behaves in society. For local and global stability analysis, we introduced the Lyapunov function with first and second derivatives. In order to evaluate the fractional integral operator, we used different techniques to invert the PC and CPC operators. We also used our suggested model’s fractional differential equations to derive the eigenfunctions of the CPC operator. There is a detailed discussion of additional analysis on the CPC and Hilfer generalised proportional operators. Employing the Laplace with the Adomian decomposition technique, we simulated a system of fractional differential equations numerically. Finally, numerical results and simulations were derived with the proposed measles model. The intricate and vital study of systems with symmetry is one of the many applications of contemporary fractional mathematical control. A strong tool that makes it possible to create numerical answers to a given fractional differential equation methodically is symmetry analysis. It is discovered that the proposed fractional order model provides a more realistic way of understanding the dynamics of a measles epidemic.

Dynamics of a fractional order mathematical model for COVID-19 epidemic transmission

To achieve the aim of immediately halting spread of COVID-19 it is essential to know the dynamic behavior of the virus of intensive level of replication. Simply analyzing experimental data to learn about this disease consumes a lot of effort and cost. Mathematical models may be able to assist in this regard. Through integrating the mathematical frameworks with the accessible disease data it will be useful and outlay to comprehend the primary components involved in the spreading of COVID-19. There are so many techniques to formulate the impact of disease on the population mathematically, including deterministic modeling, stochastic modeling or fractional order modeling etc. Fractional derivative modeling is one of the essential techniques for analyzing real-world issues and making accurate assessments of situations. In this paper, a fractional order epidemic model that represents the transmission of COVID-19 using seven compartments of population susceptible, exposed, infective, recovered, the quarantine population, recovered-exposed, and dead population is provided. The fractional order derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. In order to determine the epidemic forecast and persistence, we calculate the reproduction number R 0 . Applying fixed point theory, the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of fractional order derivative have been studied . Moreover, we implement the generalized Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method to get an approximate solution of the fractional-order COVID-19 model. Finally, numerical result and an outstanding graphic simulation are presented.

Fractional Dynamics of a Measles Epidemic Model

In this work, we replaced the integer derivative with Caputo derivative to model the transmission dynamics of measles in an epidemic situation. We began by recalling some results on the local and global stability of the measles-free equilibrium point as well as the local stability of the endemic equilibrium point. We computed the basic reproduction number of the fractional model and found that is it equal to the one in the integer model when the fractional order ν = 1. We then performed a sensitivity analysis using the global method. Indeed, we computed the partial rank correlation coefficient (PRCC) between each model parameter and the basic reproduction number R0 as well as each variable state. We then demonstrated that the fractional model admits a unique solution and that it is globally stable using the Ulam–Hyers stability criterion. Simulations using the Adams-type predictor–corrector iterative scheme were conducted to validate our theoretical results and to see the impact of the variation of the fractional order on the quantitative disease dynamics.

Modeling the impact of the vaccine on the COVID-19 epidemic transmission via fractional derivative

To achieve the goal of ceasing the spread of COVID-19 entirely it is essential to understand the dynamical behavior of the proliferation of the virus at an intense level. Studying this disease simply based on experimental analysis is very time consuming and expensive. Mathematical modeling might play a worthy role in this regard. By incorporating the mathematical frameworks with the available disease data it will be beneficial and economical to understand the key factors involved in the spread of COVID-19. As there are many vaccines available globally at present, henceforth, by including the effect of vaccination into the model will also support to understand the visible influence of the vaccine on the spread of COVID-19 virus. There are several ways to mathematically formulate the effect of disease on the population like deterministic modeling, stochastic modeling or fractional order modeling etc. Fractional order derivative modeling is one of the fundamental methods to understand real-world problems and evaluate accurate situations. In this article, a fractional order epidemic model S p E p I p E r p R p D p Q p V p on the spread of COVID-19 is presented. S p E p I p E r p R p D p Q p V p consists of eight compartments of population namely susceptible, exposed, infective, recovered, the quarantine population, recovered-exposed, and dead population. The fractional order derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. For the prophecy and tenacity of the epidemic, we compute the reproduction number R 0 . Using fixed point theory, the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of fractional order derivative have been studied. Furthermore, we are using the generalized Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method, to obtain the approximate solution of the fractional-order COVID-19 model. Finally, numerical results and illustrative graphic simulation are given. Our results suggest that to reduce the number of cases of COVID-19 we should reduce the contact rate of the people if the population is not fully vaccinated. However, to tackle the issue of reducing the social distancing and lock down, which have very negative impact on the economy as well as on the mental health of the people, it is much better to increase the vaccine rate and get the whole nation to be fully vaccinated.

On the Supervision of a Saturated SIR Epidemic Model with Four Joint Control Actions for a Drastic Reduction in the Infection and the Susceptibility through Time

This paper presents and studies a new epidemic SIR (Susceptible–Infectious–Recovered) model with susceptible recruitment and eventual joint vaccination efforts for both newborn and susceptible individuals. Furthermore, saturation effects in the infection incidence terms are eventually assumed for both the infectious and the susceptible subpopulations. The vaccination action on newborn individuals is assumed to be applied to a fraction of them while that on the susceptible general population is of linear feedback type reinforced with impulsive vaccination actions (in practice, very strong and massive vaccination controls) at certain time points, based on information on the current levels of the susceptible subpopulation. Apart from the above vaccination controls, it is also assumed that the average of contagion contacts can be controlled via intervention measures, such as confinements or isolation measures, social distance rules, use of masks, mobility constraints, etc. The main objectives of the paper are the achievement of a strictly decreasing infection for all time periods and that of the susceptible individuals over the initial period if they exceed the disease-free equilibrium value. The monitoring mechanism is the combined activation of intervention measures to reduce the contagion contacts together with the impulsive vaccination to reduce susceptibility. The susceptibility and recovery levels of the disease-free equilibrium point are suitably prefixed by the design of the regular feedback vaccination on the susceptible subpopulation.

Nonexistence Results for Higher Order Fractional Differential Inequalities with Nonlinearities Involving Caputo Fractional Derivative

Higher order fractional differential equations are important tools to deal with precise models of materials with hereditary and memory effects. Moreover, fractional differential inequalities are useful to establish the properties of solutions of different problems in biomathematics and flow phenomena. In the present work, we are concerned with the nonexistence of global solutions to a higher order fractional differential inequality with a nonlinearity involving Caputo fractional derivative. Namely, using nonlinear capacity estimates, we obtain sufficient conditions for which we have no global solutions. The a priori estimates of the structure of solutions are obtained by a precise analysis of the integral form of the inequality with appropriate choice of test function.

A lattice gas model for infection spreading: Application to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area

In this work, we propose a 2D lattice gas model for infection spreading, and we apply it to study the COVID-19 pandemic in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). We compared the spatially averaged results of this model against the MCMA available data. With the model, we estimated the numbers of daily infected and dead persons and the epidemic's duration in the MCMA. In the simulations, we included the small-world effects and the impact of lifting/strengthen lockdown measures. We included some indicators of the goodness of fit; in particular, the Pearson correlation coefficient resulted larger than 0.9 for all the cases we considered. Our modeling approach is a research tool that can help assess the effectiveness of strategies and policies to address the pandemic phenomenon and its consequences.

Novel Dynamic Structures of 2019-nCoV with Nonlocal Operator via Powerful Computational Technique

In this study, we investigate the infection system of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) with a nonlocal operator defined in the Caputo sense. With the help of the fractional natural decomposition method (FNDM), which is based on the Adomian decomposition and natural transform methods, numerical results were obtained to better understand the dynamical structures of the physical behavior of 2019-nCoV. Such behaviors observe the general properties of the mathematical model of 2019-nCoV. This mathematical model is composed of data reported from the city of Wuhan, China.

Mathematical analysis for a new nonlinear measles epidemiological system using real incidence data from Pakistan

Modeling of infectious diseases is essential to comprehend dynamic behavior for the transmission of an epidemic. This research study consists of a newly proposed mathematical system for transmission dynamics of the measles epidemic. The measles system is based upon mass action principle wherein human population is divided into five mutually disjoint compartments: susceptible S(t)-vaccinated V(t)-exposed E(t)-infectious I(t)-recovered R(t). Using real measles cases reported from January 2019 to October 2019 in Pakistan, the system has been validated. Two unique equilibria called measles-free and endemic (measles-present) are shown to be locally asymptotically stable for basic reproductive number R 0 < 1 and R 0 > 1 , respectively. While using Lyapunov functions, the equilibria are found to be globally asymptotically stable under the former conditions on R 0 . However, backward bifurcation shows coexistence of stable endemic equilibrium with a stable measles-free equilibrium for R 0 < 1 . A strategy for measles control based on herd immunity is presented. The forward sensitivity indices for R 0 are also computed with respect to the estimated and fitted biological parameters. Finally, numerical simulations exhibit dynamical behavior of the measles system under influence of its parameters which further suggest improvement in both the vaccine efficacy and its coverage rate for substantial reduction in the measles epidemic.
