A fractional model for the dynamics of tuberculosis infection using Caputo-Fabrizio derivative

Abstract

In the present paper, we study the dynamics of tuberculosis model using fractional order derivative in Caputo-Fabrizio sense. The number of confirmed notified cases reported by national TB program Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, from the year 2002 to 2017 are used for our analysis and estimation of the model biological parameters. The threshold quantity R 0 and equilibria of the model are determined. We prove the existence of the solution via fixedpoint theory and further examine the uniqueness of the model variables. An iterative solution of the model is computed using fractional Adams-Bashforth technique. Finally, the numerical results are presented by using the estimated values of model parameters to justify the significance of the arbitrary fractional order derivative. The graphical results show that the fractional model of TB in Caputo-Fabrizio sense gives useful information about the complexity of the model and one can get reliable information about the model at any integer or non-integer case.

SEIR epidemic model for COVID-19 transmission by Caputo derivative of fractional order

“…It has been studied by many researchers that fractional extensions of mathematical models of integer order represent the natural fact in a very systematic way such as in the approach of Etemad et al [13][14][15], Hedayati et al [13,[16][17][18][19], Baleanu et al [11,18,20,21], and Mahdy et al [22,23]. In recent years, many papers have been published on the subject of Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative (see, for example, [24][25][26][27][28][29][30]). Mathematical models are used to simulate the transmission of coronavirus (see, for example, [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]).…”
