Abstract

In this article, the qualitative theory and approximate solutions for fractional order Ebola model via Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo (ABC) fractional operators are developed. Using various tools of analysis, the conditions for the existence and stability of the proposed model are established. With the help of Laplace Adomain Decomposition method, we obtain the approximate solutions for the said model.

1. Introduction

Modern experimental evidences confirm that natural dynamics follow fractional calculus, which is a fastest growing area of research having applications in diverse and widespread fields of engineering and science such as electromagnetic, viscoelasticity, signal and image processing, quantum mechanics, control theory, non-linear dynamics, biological population models, and optimization theory (Hilfer, Citation2000; Kilbas, Marichev, & Samko, Citation1993; Kilbas, Srivastava, & Trujillo, Citation2006; Miller & Ross, Citation1993; Podlubny, Citation1999; Rahimkhani, Ordokhani, & Babolian, Citation2017; Saeed & Rehman, Citation2014; Yang & Huang, Citation2013; Zhou, Citation2016). Dealing with the dynamical system, having memory effects, is one of the biggest challenges for researchers. Since the fractional calculus has direct link with the dynamical system with memory effect. Therefore, Fractional Differential Equations (FDEs), which is a novel technique, is developed to model phenomena related to the dynamics of the aforesaid fields of science (Ali, Samet, Shah, & Khan, Citation2017; Ali, Shah, & Khan, Citation2016; Caputo, Citation1967; Lakshmikantham, Leela, & Vasundhara, Citation2009). FDEs are global in nature and possess greater degree of freedom as compared to the conventional differential equations (DEs). Owing to this extraordinary property, numerous researchers have investigated various features of FDEs concerning the existence, stability analysis, and approximate solutions. The researchers utilized different techniques of fixed-point theory and numerical analysis so as to investigate the existence theory, stability analysis, and approximate solution of FDEs that refers to Agarwal, Belmekki, and Benchohra (Citation2009), Akram and Tariq (Citation2018), Cai and Wu (Citation2009), Nanware and Dhaigude (Citation2014) and Wu, Hei, and Chen (Citation2013). It is note worthy that stability analysis and approximate solutions are the key factors of FDEs. In various real-world problems, either it is quite difficult or complicated and massive calculations are required to obtain the exact solution of FDEs. In like circumstances, stability analysis and approximate solutions play an inevitable role to tackle the complicated problems involving FDEs. Despite the fact that there are verities of stabilities such as Lyapunov Stability, Exponential Stability, Asymptotic Stability, Mittag-Leffler Stability (Lijun, Wang, & Wang, Citation2015; Stamova, Citation2015; Trigeassou, Maamri, Sabatier, & Oustaloup, Citation2011; Ullam, Citation1940), the most reliable one is Ullam-Hyers (UH) Stability, which is the consequent of the correspondence between Ullam (Citation1940) and Hyers (Citation1941). The UH stability was further modified and generalized by various other researchers (Rassias, Citation1978; Ulam, Citation1960).

Like classical derivatives of calculus, fractional calculus also involves various types of fractional derivatives such as Riemann-Liouville (RL), Caputo (C), Hamdard (H), Caputo Febrizo (CF), Atangana-Baleanu (AB) and Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo (ABC). The derivatives in sense of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo are broadly used and well explored by several researchers (Benchohra, Hamani, & Ntouyas, Citation2009; Khan & Shah, Citation2015; Shah & Khan, Citation2015). Since the classical fractional derivatives involving a singular kernel, could not determine the nonlocal dynamics. Therefore, the notion of non-singular derivatives has been introduced. In 2016, Caputo and Fabrizo contributed non-singular derivative involving exponential function. In subsequent years, the concerned derivative were generalized by Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo, which is known as ABC derivative. The operator is recently construed non-local, without singular kernel and reliable differential operator, which are applied in modelling of various real-world phenomena (Atangana & Baleanu, Citation2016). The complex situations, due to singular kernel, have been replaced by exponential and power decay law, for detail see (Algahtani, Citation2016; Djida, Atangana, & Area, Citation2017). The problems under ABC derivative have been studied for iterative solutions mostly by using some integral transform, but very rarely investigated from qualitative and numerical aspects.

Laplace Transform is an integral transform, which is used in various biological and engineering problems. More precisely, it is an influential tool to solve a verity of FDEs with initial conditions. Additionally, it is used for the interpretation of time invariant systems such as harmonic oscillation, electric circuit, mechanical systems and optical devices. In addition, it is used to change the problem from time domain to frequency domain. Using Laplace Transform, a differential equation is converted to an algebraic equation, which can be solved through algebraic techniques. Moreover, the Laplace Transform is invertible. The Inverse Laplace Transform takes a function of complex variable and yield a function of real variables. A verity of numerical computational techniques such as Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) (Kumar, Singh, & Kumar, Citation2015), Variation Iteration Method (VIM) (Yang, Xiao, & Su, Citation2010), Generalized Differential Method (GDM) (Odibat & Momani, Citation2008), Homotopy Variation Iteration Method (HVIM) (Deghan, Yousefi, & Lotfi, Citation2011), New Homotopy Analysis Transform Method (NHATM) (Maitama & Zhao, Citation2020) and Adomain Decomposition Method (ADM) are being used. One of the most accurate and efficient approximate technique for the solution of FDEs is Laplace Transform, which is coupled with ADM and is recognized as Laplace Adomian Decomposition Method (LADM). The said technique is a powerful tool to obtain numerical solutions of wide range of initial and boundary value problems of FDEs. It provides the solutions of an infinite series in which each term can be determined easily.

In real world situation, either to study the biological behaviours of diseases accurately or to precisely tackle an engineering problem, a powerful mathematical tool, which produces more reliable results, is known as mathematical modelling. In this regard, various mathematical modelling tools have been used to study the transmission and developed a better plane for the prevention of mankind from these deadly infectious diseases, see (Beauchemin & Handel, Citation2011; Edelstein-Keshet, Citation2005; Zhou et al., Citation2020). It has been observed that proper understanding and implementation for the control strategies against the transmission of spreading diseases in the community is unbreakable challenge for mankind. To some extent, the aforementioned techniques play a key role to plane, prevent and eliminate the deadly diseases from the community. The readers further refer to (Brauer, Driessche, & Wu, Citation2008; Murray, Citation2007; Rvachev, Ira, & Longini, Citation1985).

In the year 1976, an outbreak took place in African country of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which was named as Ebola outbreak where a deadly virus spread dramatically. The virus was named after the river Ebola flow near the DRC. The virus has five types out of which four cause diseases in humans. The virus used to attack on the immune system and resultantly inner bleeding took place that damaged every organ of the body. This scary virus spread through direct contact with infected person either through body fluids or skin interaction. The virus could also be transmitted through interaction with the infected animals like monkey, chimp or fruit bat. The people who were taking care or buried the infected person were the easy targets of the virus. However, the virus cannot be spread through air, water and food. Interestingly, the infected person with no symptoms could not transmit the virus to others. Later on, in 2013, the virus emerged in Guckduo and Guinea (Lamb, Citation2013), where 28,616 cases were reported out of which 11,310 reported as dead. To study the dynamics of the virus, several mathematicians have tried their best to discuss the transmission and biological behaviour of the virus for details refer to (Bowen et al., Citation1977; Kuhn et al., Citation2010; Pattyn et al., Citation1977; Tahir, Shah, Zaman, & Khan, Citation2019).

Today, where the modern world is facing another pandemic outbreak in the form of corona virus, the study of such infectious diseases is still a central focus for the researchers. In this regard, we predicted and investigated the dynamics of fractional order Ebola model (1) via ABC fractional operator. We developed a precise mechanism how to prevent the transmission of infectious disease in the community. The capture fractional order Ebola under Atangaba-Baleau-Caputo derivative is given as: (1) ABCDγS(t)=α2λS(t)ταS(t)E(t)(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t),ABCDγE(t)=τS(t)E(t)mE(t)I(T)(n1+n2)E(t),ABCDγI(t)=mE(t)I(t)+(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)ηλI(t)R(t)(β1+β2)I(t),ABCDγV(t)=(β1+β2)I(t)κV(t),ABCDγR(t)=ηλI(t)ρR(t).(1)

With initial conditions S(0)=S0, E(0)=E0, I(0)=I0, V(0)=V0 and R(0)=R0, where 0<γ1.

The parameters involved in (1) and their physical interpretation is expressed in . Here we also assume that all the parameters are non-negative.

Table 1. Description of the parameters used in model (1).

Corresponding to model (1), we use fixed point approach to investigate some results that ensure the existence of such model and its solution. We use Banach and Schauder’s theorems from fixed point theory. We obtain the estimated solution of concerned model of non-integer order via Laplace transform combined with Adomian decomposition method. To justified the results obtained by aforementioned procedure, we use Mapple-13 and assigned different values to the parameters and supplement conditions.

An efficient techniques by which we can find both explicit and analytic solutions for the system of differential equations, was initiated by Adomain is known as LADM, in 1980. The aforesaid techniques have an efficient techniques, which works outstandingly in both cases that is initial and boundary value problems. The consider method also works accurately in a system of stochastic differential equations. LADM does not needs liberalization or perturbation, like other existing computational and analytical schemes, that needs for exploring the dynamical behaviour of complex dynamical systems. The committed techniques provide extensive results for the solutions of Fractional Order Differential Equations (FODEs) and as well as for analytical solution for the verity problem of nonlinear equations. In this paper, we utilized techniques of Adomain polynomial to decomposed the non-linearity and Laplace to convert the deserts problem to the form algebraic equations, see Biazar (Citation2006). Recently, the proposed techniques are used to deal with non-singular FODEs, to obtained very fruitful results (see Shah, Alqudah, Jarad, & Abdelijawad, Citation2020). Furthermore, we remark that the obtained results via the considered method is in a form of convergent series, that converges to the exact results uniformly. Thanks to the results of analysis (Abdilraze & Pelinosky, Citation2009; Naghipour & Manafian, Citation2015; Shah, Khalil, & Khan, Citation2018), one can easily prove the convergent of the proposed method.

2. Preliminaries

Definition 2.1.

If Ψ(t)H1(0,T) and γ(0,1], then the ABC derivative is defined as (2) ABCD+0γΨ(t)=M(γ)1γ0tddxΨ(y)Mγ[γ1γ(ty)]dy,(2) if we replace Mγ[γ1γ(ty)]dy by M1=exp[γ1γ(ty)], then we get the Caputo-Fabrizo differential operator. It is to be noted that ABCD+0γ[Constant]=0, where M(γ) is known as normalization function which is defined as ABC(0)=ABC(1)=1. Mγ stands for famous function known as Mittag-Leffler, the generalization of exponential function (Rafei, Ganji, & Daniali, Citation2007).

Definition 2.2.

Let zL[0,T], Then the integral in sense of ABC is defined as (3) ABCD+0γz(t)=1γM(γ)z(t)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1z(y)dy.(3)

Lemma 2.1.

Ali, Zada, and Shah (Citation2018) solution of the problem for 1>γ>0 ABCD+0γU(t)=x(t),   t[0,T],U(0)=U0 is given by U(t)=U0+(1γ)M(γ)x(t)+γΓ(γ)M(γ)0t(ty)γ1x(y)dy.

Definition 2.3.

Laplace transform for ABC derivative of function ϕ(t) is given by [ABCD0γϕ(t)]=M(γ)sγ(1γ)+γ[sγ[ϕ(t)]sγ1ϕ(0)].

Key point: For qualitative analysis, we define Banach space Z=X×X×X×X×X, with X=C[0,T] under the norm defined by ||M||=||(S,E,I,V,R)||=maxt[0,T]||S(t)+E(t)+I(t)+V(t)+R(t)||. For our main result, the following theorem will be used.

Theorem 2.4.

Let B be a convex subset of Z, assuming that F,G are two operators with

(1). Fu+GuB for every uB.

(2). F is contraction.

(3). G is continuous and compact.

Then the operator equation Fu+Gu=u, has at least one solution.

3. Existence theory

The concerned section, is dedicated to the existence and uniqueness of the solution of considered model of FDEs. FDEs provide powerful tools, that describes different physical, biological and dynamical phenomenon in mathematical concepts. In last two decades, due to the versatile applications of FDEs, the researchers give more attention to the existence of solutions for FDEs. Another important aspects of FDEs, that it is widely used in the different fields of applied science and technology is devoted to the stability analysis. In this section we determined existence result for the proposed model (1), using fixed point theorem due to Banach type for the existence and uniqueness of solution. In this regard, we first define the following function (4) {ψ1(t,S,E,I,V,R)=α2λS(t)ταS(t)E(t)(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t),ψ2(t,S,E,I,V,R)=τS(t)E(t)mE(t)I(T)(n1+n2)E(t),ψ3(t,S,E,I,V,R)=mE(t)I(t)+(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)ηλI(t)R(t)(β1+β2)I(t),ψ4(t,S,E,I,V,R)=(β1+β2)I(t)κV(t),ψ5(t,S,E,I,V,R)=ηλI(t)ρR(t).(4)

With the help of Equation(4), the constructed system is written in the following form (5) ABCD+0γU(t)=ψ(t,U(t)),  t[0,T],  0<γ1,U(0)=U0.(5)

Using Lemma (2.1), EquationEquation (5) becomes (6) U(t)=U0(t)+[ψ((t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy,  for   0yt1,(6) where (7) U(t)={S(t)E(t)I(t)V(t)R(t),U0(t)={S0E0I0V0R0,ψ(t,U(t))={ψ1(t,S,E,I,V,R)ψ2(t,S,E,I,V,R)ψ3(t,S,E,I,V,R)ψ4(t,S,E,I,V,R)ψ5(t,S,E,I,V,R),ψ0(t){ψ1(0,S0,E0,I0,V0,R0)ψ2(0,S0,E0,I0,V0,R0)ψ3(0,S0,E0,I0,V0,R0)ψ4(0,S0,E0,I0,V0,R0)ψ5(0,S0,E0,I0,V0,R0).(7)

Using Equation(6) and Equation(7), define two operators F and G, using Equation(6) (8) Fu=U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ),Gu=γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy.(8)

For growth condition, Lipschitizian assumptions, existence and uniqueness, the following holds

(L1) There exists constants b* and c*, such that |ψ(t,U(t))|b*|U(t)|+c*. (L2) There exists constant Kp > 0, for every u,u1X, such that |ψ(t,U(t))ψ(t,U1(t))|Kp||uu1||.

Theorem 3.1.

If (L1) and (L2) holds, then Equation (6) has at least one solution which means that the consider system (1) has one solution if (1γ)KpM(γ)<1.

Proof.

To show that F is contraction, let u1B, where B={uZ:||u||r,r>0} is closed convex set. Using the definition of F from (8), we get (9) ||FuFu1||=(1γ)M(γ)maxt[0,T]|ψ(t,U(t))ψ(t,U1(t))|,(1γ)pM(γ)||uu1||.(9)

Hence F is contraction.

To show that G is relatively compact, we have to show that G is bounded, and continuous. For this, we proceeds as follow:

It is obvious that G is continuous as ψ is continuous, also for uB, we have (10) |G(u)|=maxt[0,T]γM(γ)Γ(γ)||0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy||,γM(γ)Γ(γ)0T(Ty)γ1|ψ(y,U(y))|dy,γTγM(γ)Γ(γ)[b*r+c*].(10)

Hence Equation(10) shows that G is bounded, for equi-continuous, let t1>t2[0,T], such that (11) |GU(t1)GU(t2)|=γM(γ)Γ(γ)|0t1(t1y)γ1ψ(y),U(y)dy0t2(t2y)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy|,[b*r+c*]M(γ)Γ(γ)[t1γt2γ].(11)

As t1t2, right hand side of Equation(11) tends to zero, also G is continuous and so |GU(t1)GU(t2)|0,  as   t1t2.

Hence G is bounded and continuous, therefore G is uniformly continuous and bounded. By Arzela-Ascoli theorem G is relatively compact and so completely continuous. Using Theorem 3.1, the integral EquationEquation (6) has atleast one solution and therefore, the system has atleast one solution.

For uniqueness we provide the following result.

Theorem 3.2.

Under assumption (L2), the integral EquationEquation (6) has unique solution which shows that consider system (1) has the unique result if [(1γ)KpM(γ)+γTγKpM(γ)Γ(γ)]<1.

Proof.

Let define T:ZZ by (12) TU(t)=U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy,t[0,T].(12)

Let u,u1Z, then (13) ||TuTu1||(1γ)ABC(Γ(γ))maxt[0,T]|ψ(t,U(t))ψ(t,U1(t))|,+γM(γ)Γ(γ)maxt[0,T]|0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U1(y))dy|,[(1γ)KpM(γ)+γTγKpM(γ)Γ(γ)]||uu1||,Ω||uu1||,(13) where (14) Ω=[(1γ)KpM(γ)+γTγKpM(γ)Γ(γ)].(14)

From Equation(13), T in contraction. Therefor, the integral EquationEquation (6) has a unique solution. Thus system Equation(1) has a unique solution.

4. Stability analysis

For the stability of the considered problem, we consider a small peturbation αC[0,T], which depends on the solution only and α(0)=0. Next

(i) |α(t)|ϵ,for   ϵ>0

(ii) ABCD+0γ(U(t))=ψ(t,U(t))+α(t),   t[0,T].

Lemma 4.1.

Solution of the perturb problem (15) {0ABCD+0γU(t)=Ψ(t,U(t))+α(t),U(0)=U0,(15) satisfying the following relation (16) |U(t)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy)|γT,γϵ,(16) where γT,γ=Γ(γ)(1γ)+TγM(γ)Γ(γ).

Proof.

This proof is simple so we omit it.

Theorem 4.1.

Under assumption (L2) and result (16) in Lemma (4.1), the solution of the concern integral Equation (6) is Ulam-Hyers stable and consequently, the analytical results of the concern system are Ulams-Hyers stable if Ω<1.

Proof.

Let u1Z be a unique solution and u Z be any solution of (6), then (17) |U(t)U1(t)|=|U(t)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U1(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U1(y))dy)|,|U(t)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy)|+|(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U1(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U1(y))dy)|,ϵγT,γ+(1γ)KpM(γ)||uu1||+γTγKpM(γ)Γ(γ)||uu1||ϵγT,γ+Ω||uu1||.(17)

From Equation(17), we can write (18) ||UU1||ϵγT,γ1Ω.(18)

From Equation(18), we concluded that the solution of (6) is Ulam-Hyers stable and consequently generalized Ulam-Hyers Stable by using ψU(ϵ)=γT,γϵ,ψU(0)=0, which shows that the solution of the proposed problem is Ulam-Hyers stable and also generalized Ulam-Hyers stable.

Let us consider the following suppositions

  1. |α(t)|ϕ(t)ϵ,for   ϵ>0

  2. ABCD+0γ(U(t))=ψ(t,U(t))+α(t),   t[0,T].

Lemma 4.2.

The following holds for Equation(15) (19) |U(t)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy)|ϕ(t)ϵγT,γ.(19)

Proof.

We can easily get the required result, so we omit it.

Theorem 4.2.

Under the Lemma 4.2, the solution of the consider problem is Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stable and consequently generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stable.

Proof.

Let u1Z be a unique solution and u Z be any solution of (6), then (20) |U(t)U1(t)|=|U(t)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U1(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U1(y))dy)|,|U(t)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy)|+|(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U(y))dy)(U0(t)+[ψ(t,U1(t))ψ0(t)]1γM(γ)+γM(γ)Γ(γ)0t(ty)γ1ψ(y,U1(y))dy)|,ϕ(t)ϵγT,γ+(1γ)KpM(γ)||uu1||+γTγKpM(γ)Γ(γ)||uu1||,ϕ(t)ϵγT,γ+Ω||uu1||,(20) we can write, from Equation(20) (21) ||UU1||ϕ(t)ϵγT,γ1Ω.(21)

Hence the solution of Equation(6) is Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stable and consequently generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stable.

5. General procedure of LADM for ABC fractional derivative

This section, of the work is committed to basic idea of the Laplace Adomian decomposition method for the fractional differential equations for understanding of the proposed method. It is worth mentioning that Abassy, El-Tawil, and El-Zoheiry (Citation2007), uses Laplace Transform for variational iteration method which is further studied by Mokhtari and Mohammadi (Citation2009) and Hesameddini and Latifizadeh (Citation2009). This ice breaking idea played a dramatic role and provide a platform for other researchers. For instance, Abassy et al. (Citation2007), used Laplace Transform in the solution process moreover, the variational iteration method leads to a series of linear equations which can be easily solved by the Laplace Transform. Mokhtari and Mohammadi (Citation2009), found that the variational iteration algorithm could be easily constructed by the Laplace transform without using the correction functional (the variational theory) and restricted variations. Hesameddini and Latifizadeh (Citation2009), investigated that Laplace transform could construct iteration algorithms as those by the variational iteration method. Note that by solving a fractional differential equation, the variational iteration method shows some fundamental advantages over others, and the Laplace transform plays a pioneering role in the solution process (Anjum & He, Citation2019). In view of Anjum, Suleman, Lu, He, and Ramzan (Citation2019), Anjum and He (Citation2019) and Suleman, Lu, Yue, Ul Rahman, and Anjum (Citation2019), we consider the following fractional order differential equation (22) {ABCDγu(t)+N(t)+R(t)=f(t), 0<γ1,u(0)=u0, u0R.(22) where ABC stands for Atangan-Baleanu Caputo fractional derivative, N represents the nonlinear term, R represent the linear term involved in the given equation and f(t) is a source term. Taking Laplace on both sides of (22) and rearranging the terms yields the following. {ABCDγu(t)}={f(t)Nu(t)Ru(t)}

By applying the definition of Laplace transform for ABC fractional derivative we get the following (23) {u(t)}=u(0)s+sγ(1γ)+γsγM(γ){f(t)Nu(t)Ru(t)}.(23)

Let us the required solution may be expressed in the form of infinity series as (24) u(t)=n=0un(t).(24)

Further the nonlinear term is decomposed as (25) Nu(t)=n=0Pn(t), where,Pn(t)=1Γ(n+1)dndtμ[r=0nN(μrur)]|μ=0.(25)

By plugging Equation(24) and Equation(25) in Equation(23), we get the following (26) {n=0un(t)}=u(0)s+sγ(1γ)+γsγM(γ){f(t)n=0Pn(t)Rn=0un},(26)

By comparison the terms on both sides of (26), we have (27) (u0)=u(0)s,(u1)=sγ(1γ)+γsγM(γ){f(t)P0Ru0},(u2)=sγ(1γ)+γsγM(γ)[f(t)P1Ru1],(un+1)=sγ(1γ)+γsγM(γ)[f(t)PnRun],for n1(27)

After evaluating the inverse Laplace transforms, we get the required solution as u(t)=u0+u1(t)+u2(t)+u3(t)+..

6. General procedure for approximate solution

In this segment of the article, we developed the approximate scheme of the proposed model (1). Taking Laplace transform of (1), we have (28) {{ABCDγS(t)}={α2λS(t)ταS(t)E(t)(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)},{ABCDγE(t)}={τS(t)E(t)mE(t)I(T)(n1+n2)E(t)},{ABCDγI(t)}={mE(t)I(t)+(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)ηλI(t)R(t)(β1+β2)I(t)},{ABCDγV(t)}={(β1+β2)I(t)κV(t)},{ABCDγR(t)}={ηλI(t)ρR(t)}.(28)

Applying Laplace on the Equation(28) in the sense of ABC fractional derivative, we have (29) {{S(t)}=S(0)s+((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){α2λS(t)ταS(t)E(t)(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)},{E(t)}=E(0)s+((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){τS(t)E(t)mE(t)I(T)(n1+n2)E(t)},{I(t)}=I(0)s+((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){mE(t)I(t)+(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)ηλI(t)R(t)(β1+β2)I(t)},{V(t)}=V(0)s+((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){(β1+β2)I(t)κV(t)},{R(t)}=R(0)s+((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){ηλI(t)ρR(t)}.(29)

Applying inverse Laplace and plugging the initial conditions on (29), we get (30) {S(t)=S0+1[(1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ){α2λS(t)ταS(t)E(t)(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)}],E(t)=E0+1[(1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ){τS(t)E(t)mE(t)I(T)(n1+n2)E(t)}],I(t)=I0+1[(1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ){mE(t)I(t)+(θ1+θ2)S(t)I(t)ηλI(t)R(t)(β1+β2)I(t)}],V(t)=V0+1[(1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ){(β1+β2)I(t)κV(t)}],R(t)=R0+1[(1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ){ηλI(t)ρR(t)}].(30)

Let us assume the solutions S(t), E(t), I(t), V(t) and R(t) in the form of infinite series is given by (31) S(t)=h=0Sh(t), E(t)=h=0Eh(t), I(t)=h=0Ih(t),V(t)=h=0Vh(t), R(t)=h=0Rh(t).(31)

The non-linear terms are expressed as, (32) S(t)E(t)=h=0Ah(t), S(t)I(t)=h=0Bh(t),E(t)I(t)=h=0Ch(t), I(t)R(t)=h=0Dh(t).(32) where Ah(t), Bh(t), Ch(t), Dh(t) are Adomian’s polynomials and is defined as {Ah=1Γ(h+1)dhdμh[j=0hμjSj(t)j=0hμjEj(t)]|μ=0,Bh=1Γ(h+1)dhdμh[j=0hμjSj(t)j=0hμjIj(t)]|μ=0,Ch=1Γ(h+1)dhdμh[j=0hμjEj(t)j=0hμjIj(t)]|μ=0,Dh=1Γ(h+1)dhdμh[j=0hμjIj(t)j=0hμjRj(t)]|μ=0,

Using (31) and (32) in (30), we get (33) (S0)=S(0)s, (E0)=E(0)s, (I0)=I(0)s, (V0)=V(0)s, (R0)=V(0)s,(S1)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){α2λS0ταA0(θ1+θ2)B0},(E1)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){τA0mC0(n1+n2)E0},(I1)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηλD0(β1+β2)I0},(V1)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){(β1+β2)I0κV0}, (R1)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){ηλI0ρR0},(S2)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){α2λS1ταA1(θ1+θ2)B1},(E2)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){τA1mC1(n1+n2)E1},(I2)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){mC1+(θ1+θ2)B1ηλD1(β1+β2)I1},(V2)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){(β1+β2)I1κV1}, (R2)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){ηλI1ρR1},(Sn)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){α2λSn1ταAn1(θ1+θ2)Bn1},(En)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){τAn1mCn1(n1+n2)En1},(In)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){mCn1+(θ1+θ2)Bn1ηλDn1(β1+β2)In1},(Vn)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){(β1+β2)In1κVn1}, (Rn)=((1γ)sγ+γsγM(γ)){ηλIn1ρRn1},(33)

Now, applying Laplace inverse on (33), we get (34) {S0=S(0), E0=E(0), I0=I(0), V0=V(0), R0=R(0),S1=(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){α2λS0ταA0(θ1+θ2)B0}, E1=(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){τA0mC0(n1+n2)E0},I1=(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηλD0(β1+β2)I0}, V1=(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){(β1+β2)I0κV0},R1=(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){ηλI0ρR0},S2=α((1γ)γ!+γtγ)2γ!M(γ){(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[(λ+τE0α+(θ1+θ2)I0)(α2λS0τA0α(θ1+θ2)B0)+τS0α{A0mC0(n1+n2)E0}+(θ1+θ2){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}],E2={(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[τE0{α2λS0τA0α(θ1+θ2)B0}mE0{mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}+(τS0mI0(n1+n2)){τA0mC0(n1+n2)E0}],I2={(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[mI0{τA0mC0(n1+n2)E0}+(θ1+θ2)I0{α2λS0τA0α(θ1+θ2)B0}ηI0λ{ηI0λκR0}+(mE0+(θ1+θ2)S0ηR0λ(β1+β2)){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}],V2={(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[(β1+β2){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}κ{(β1+β2)I0κV0}],R2={(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[ηλ(mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0)ρ(ηI0λρR0}].(34)

By following the same procedure we can obtain the computation for other terms in the infinite series, hence the solution upto three terms can be expressed as (35) {Sn=S0+(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){α2λS0ταA0(θ1+θ2)B0}+α((1γ)γ!+γtγ)2γ!M(γ){(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[(λ+τE0α+(θ1+θ2I0)(α2λS0τA0α(θ1+θ2)B0)+τS0α{A0mC0(n1+n2)E0}+(θ1+θ2){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}]+,En=E0+(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){τA0mC0(n1+n2)E0}+{(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[τE0{α2λS0τA0α(θ1+θ2)B0}mE0{mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}+(τS0mI0(n1+n2){τA0mC0(n1+n2)E0}]+,In=I0+(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηλD0(β1+β2)I0}+{(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[mI0{τA0mC0(n1+n2)E0}+(θ1+θ2)I0{α2λS0τA0α(θ1+θ2)B0}ηI0λ{ηI0λκR0}+(mE0+(θ1+θ2)S0ηR0λ(β1+β2)){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}]+,Vn=V0+(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){(β1+β2)I0κV0}+{(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[(β1+β2){mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0}κ{(β1+β2)I0κV0}]+,Rn=R0+(1γ)γ!+γtγγ!M(γ){ηλI0ρR0}+{(1γ)2+γ2t2γ2γ!+2γ(1γ)tγγ!(M(γ))2}[ηλ(mC0+(θ1+θ2)B0ηD0λ(β1+β2)I0ρ(ηI0λρR0}]+.(35)

By putting γ=0.9 and the values of the parameters expressed in (2), we get (37) {Sn=1.2243×104+2.4237×105t0.9+5.8352×105t1.8+,En=1.3866×104+2.7154×105t0.9+6.4645×105t1.8+,In=948.3610+2.3406×104t0.9+7.3813×104t1.8+,Vn=205.8571+148.2194t0.9+420.3455t1.8+,Rn=231.9128+581.6869t0.9+1.5725×103t1.8+,(37)

By putting γ=0.8 and the values of the parameters expressed in (2), we get (38) {Sn=6.2207×104+5.4959×105t0.8+5.6659×105t1.6+,En=6.9600×104+6.1190×105t0.8+6.2770×105t1.6+,In=6.3525×103+6.2259×104t0.8+7.1671×104t1.6+,Vn=238.5180+369.4973t0.8+408.1494t1.6+,Rn=347.6226+1.2524×103t0.8+1.2368×103t1.6+,(38)

Base on the values of the parameters given in (2) and different values of γ we obtained the following graphs with the help of MATLAB.

The plot show the dynamics of S(t) in model (1) at various values of fractional order γ.

The plot show the dynamics of E(t) in model (1) at various values of fractional order γ.

The plot show the dynamics of I(t) in model (1) at various values of fractional order γ.

The plot show the dynamics of V(t) in model (1) at various values of fractional order γ.

The plot show the dynamics of R(t) in model (1) at various values of fractional order γ. The present investigation may help the researchers to understand some stimulating consequences of the projected model. Also, the fractional operator can exemplify some features of considered model defined in above Figures. From the plots, for the change of value of γ, the obtained solution gives fascinating consequences with a fixed value of the parameters defined in the projected model. These plots show the exponential growth in all the classes which we can be seen from the beginning.

8. Conclusion

We successfully obtained the conditions for the qualitative and approximate solution of Ebole model model under fractional order derivative with out singular kernel of ABC type. With the help of tools of analysis, we proved the existence results of the proposed model. The semi-analytical results are obtained via Laplace Adomian decomposition method. To illustrate the dynamics behaviours of consider model, we also provides graphical presentations.
