A fractional system of delay differential equation with nonsingular kernels in modeling hand-foot-mouth disease

Abstract

In this article, we examine a computational model to explore the prevalence of a viral infectious disease, namely hand-foot-mouth disease, which is more common in infants and children. The structure of this model consists of six sub-populations along with two delay parameters. Besides, by taking advantage of the Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative, the ability of the model to justify different situations for the system has been improved. Discussions about the existence of the solution and its uniqueness are also included in the article. Subsequently, an effective numerical scheme has been employed to obtain several meaningful approximate solutions in various scenarios imposed on the problem. The sensitivity analysis of some existing parameters in the model has also been investigated through several numerical simulations. One of the advantages of the fractional derivative used in the model is the use of the concept of memory in maintaining the substantial properties of the understudied phenomena from the origin of time to the desired time. It seems that the tools used in this model are very powerful and can effectively simulate the expected theoretical conditions in the problem, and can also be recommended in modeling other computational models in infectious diseases.

A predator–prey model involving variable-order fractional differential equations with Mittag-Leffler kernel

“…During the past decades, several mathematical models have been investigated to model prey-predator systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The understanding of the relationship between herbivores and plants is extremely important in the behavior of the ecosystems.…”

COVID-19: The Second Wave is not due to Cooling-down in Autumn

“…On the other hand, data on the longtime repetition and mutual influence of outbreaks are not yet sufficient until now for applying periodic equations [ 6 , 7 ]. A mathematically simple approach had to be chosen for the single outbreak for making the superposition of independent outbreaks manageable.…”

Global stability analysis of a fractional SVEIR epidemic model

“…For this reason, the model is sometimes called the SIR model. Recently, several efficient epidemic formulations have been exploited to investigate different varieties of infectious diseases 3‐15 . The SIR epidemic model is also established by several authors to explore the complex behavior of epidemic systems (please see previous studies 16‐20 ).…”
