A fractional order co-infection model between malaria and filariasis epidemic

Abstract

In this article, we investigate a mathematical malaria-filariasis co-infection model with the assistance of the non-integer order operator. Using the fractal-fractional operator in the Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) sense, it has been possible to understand the dynamical behaviour and complicatedness of the malaria-filariasis model. An investigation of the existence and uniqueness of the solution employs fixed-point theory. Ulam-Hyers stability helps examine the stability analysis of the proposed co-infection model. The malaria-filariasis model has been investigated using the Toufik-Atanagana (TA), a sophisticated numerical method for these biological co-infection models. With the help of numerical procedures, we provide the approximate solutions for the proposed model. A variety of fractal dimension and fractional order options are utilized for the presentation of the results. When we adjust sensitive parameters like τ and γ, the graphical representation illustrates the system’s behaviour and identifies suitable parameter ranges for solutions. In addition, we evaluate the model along with the regarded operators and various β₁ values using an exceptional graphical representation.
