A New Numerical Scheme for Time Fractional Diffusive SEAIR Model with Non-Linear Incidence Rate: An Application to Computational Biology

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a modified fractional diffusive SEAIR epidemic model with a nonlinear incidence rate. A constructed model of fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) is more general than the corresponding model of fractional ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The Caputo fractional derivative is considered. Linear stability analysis of the disease-free equilibrium state of the epidemic model (ODEs) is presented by employing Routh–Hurwitz stability criteria. In order to solve this model, a fractional numerical scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme can be used to find conditions for obtaining positive solutions for diffusive epidemic models. The stability of the scheme is given, and convergence conditions are found for the system of the linearized diffusive fractional epidemic model. In addition to this, the deficiencies of accuracy and consistency in the nonstandard finite difference method are also underlined by comparing the results with the standard fractional scheme and the MATLAB built-in solver pdepe. The proposed scheme shows an advantage over the fractional nonstandard finite difference method in terms of accuracy. In addition, numerical results are supplied to evaluate the proposed scheme’s performance.

A Computational Approach to a Mathematical Model of Climate Change Using Heat Sources and Diffusion

“…The numerical approaches that have been provided are versatile enough to be applied to a variety of time-dependent problems whose spatial derivative terms can be of either integer or 𝑞𝑡ℎ order. In addition, the proposed numerical approach has the potential to be utilized in epidemiological illness models as well as other types of issues in fractional calculus [33,34]. The limitation of most of the proposed schemes is their conditional stability.…”

Analysis of Nonlinear Mathematical Model of COVID-19 via Fractional-Order Piecewise Derivative

“…Some authors investigated different TB models under the concept of the fractional derivative with simulation in (Shatanawi et al 2021). Authors (Nawaz et al 2022) established some computational and theoretical analysis for TB model by using ABC derivative of fractional order.…”
