Analysis of Fractional Differential Inclusion Models for COVID-19 via Fixed Point Results in Metric Space

Abstract

We examine in this paper some new problems on coincidence point and fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings in metric space. By applying the characterizations of a modified M T ~ -function, under the name D -function, a few novel fixed point results different from the existing fixed point theorems are launched. It is well-known that differential equation of either integer or fractional order is not sufficient to capture ambiguity, since the derivative of a solution to any differential equation inherits all the regularity properties of the mapping involved and of the solution itself. This does not hold in the case of differential inclusions. In particular, fractional-order differential inclusion models are more suitable for describing epidemics. Thus, as a generalization of a newly launched existence result for fractional-order model for COVID-19, using Banach and Shauder fixed point theorems, we investigate solvability criteria of a novel Caputo-type fractional-order differential inclusion model for COVID-19 by applying a standard fixed point theorem of multivalued contraction. Stability analysis of the proposed model in the framework of Ulam-Hyers is also discussed. Nontrivial comparative illustrations are constructed to show that our ideas herein complement, unify and, extend a significant number of existing results in the corresponding literature.

On Fractional Differential Inclusion for an Epidemic Model via L-Fuzzy Fixed Point Results

“…a susceptible population that is free from lock-down W (t), a susceptible population that is not free from lock-down W K (t), an infective population that is free from lock-down I(t), an infective population that is not free from lockdown I K (t), and a cumulative density of the lock-down program K(t). For the rest of the parameters and numerical simulations in addition to a few new existence results of ( 14), one can refer to [14,23].…”

Mathematical approaches to controlling COVID-19: optimal control and financial benefits

“…The purpose is to concentrate on certain facets of the issue, abstracting away other dimensions. Consequently, mathematical models remain pertinent by showcasing the essential mathematical core within a given context devoid of excess information [2] (see also [3], [4], [5] and reference therein). To reduce the COVID-19 disease's transmission dynamics, the authors of [6] studied and discussed an optimal control model.…”

“…The inequality ( 2) is now well recognized as the Geraghty contraction in the literature. Theorem 1 has inspired many investigators (e.g., see [13][14][15]).…”
