Solution of a dynamical memory effect COVID-19 infection system with leaky vaccination efficacy by non-singular kernel fractional derivatives

Numerical and graphical simulation of the non-linear fractional dynamical system of bone mineralization

The objective of the present study was to improve our understanding of the complex biological process of bone mineralization by performing mathematical modeling with the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator. To obtain a better understanding of Komarova's bone mineralization process, we have thoroughly examined the boundedness, existence, and uniqueness of solutions and stability analysis within this framework. To determine how model parameters affect the behavior of the system, sensitivity analysis was carried out. Furthermore, the fractional Adams-Bashforth method has been used to carry out numerical and graphical simulations. Our work is significant owing to its comparison of fractional- and integer-order models, which provides novel insight into the effectiveness of fractional operators in representing the complex dynamics of bone mineralization.

Response of vaccination on community transmission of COVID-19: a dynamical approach

Due to the severity of COVID-19, vaccination campaigns have been or are underway in most parts of the world. In the current circumstances, it is obligatory to examine the response of vaccination on transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when there are many vaccines available. Considering the importance of vaccination, a dynamic model has been proposed to provide an insight in the same direction. A mathematical model has been developed where six population compartments viz. susceptible, infected, vaccinated, home-isolated, hospitalized and recovered population are considered. Moreover, two novel parameters are included in the model to ascertain the effectiveness and speed of the vaccination campaign. Reproduction number and local stability of both the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points are studied to examine the nature of population dynamics. Graphical results for the community stage of COVID-19 infection are simulated and compared with real data to ascertain the validity of our model. The data is then studied to understand the impact of vaccination. These numerical results evidently demonstrate that home isolation and hospitalization should continue for the infected people until the transmission of the virus from person to person reduces sufficiently after completely vaccinating every nation. This model also recommends that all type of prevention measures should still be taken to avoid any type of critical situation due to infection and also reduce the death rate.

Modeling the effect of time delay in the increment of number of hospital beds to control an infectious disease

One of the key factors to control the spread of any infectious disease is the health care facilities, especially the number of hospital beds. To assess the impact of number of hospital beds and control of an emerged infectious disease, we have formulated a mathematical model by considering population (susceptible, infected, hospitalized) and newly created hospital beds as dynamic variables. In formulating the model, we have assumed that the number of hospital beds increases proportionally to the number of infected individuals. It is shown that on a slight change in parameter values, the model enters to different kinds of bifurcations, e.g., saddle-node, transcritical (backward and forward), and Hopf bifurcation. Also, the explicit conditions for these bifurcations are obtained. We have also shown the occurrence of Bogdanov-Takens (BT) bifurcation using the Normal form. To set up a new hospital bed takes time, and so we have also analyzed our proposed model by incorporating time delay in the increment of newly created hospital beds. It is observed that the incorporation of time delay destabilizes the system, and multiple stability switches arise through Hopf-bifurcation. To validate the results of the analytical analysis, we have carried out some numerical simulations.

Existence Results for a Multipoint Fractional Boundary Value Problem in the Fractional Derivative Banach Space

We study a class of nonlinear implicit fractional differential equations subject to nonlocal boundary conditions expressed in terms of nonlinear integro-differential equations. Using the Krasnosel’skii fixed-point theorem we prove, via the Kolmogorov–Riesz criteria, the existence of solutions. The existence results are established in a specific fractional derivative Banach space and they are illustrated by two numerical examples.

Taylor’s Formula for Generalized Weighted Fractional Derivatives with Nonsingular Kernels

We prove a new Taylor’s theorem for generalized weighted fractional calculus with nonsingular kernels. The proof is based on the establishment of new relations for nth-weighted generalized fractional integrals and derivatives. As an application, new mean value theorems for generalized weighted fractional operators are obtained. Direct corollaries allow one to obtain the recent Taylor’s and mean value theorems for Caputo–Fabrizio, Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo (ABC) and weighted ABC derivatives.

Stability Switching Curves and Hopf Bifurcation of a Fractional Predator–Prey System with Two Nonidentical Delays

In this paper, we propose and analyze a three-dimensional fractional predator–prey system with two nonidentical delays. By choosing two delays as the bifurcation parameter, we first calculate the stability switching curves in the delay plane. By judging the direction of the characteristic root across the imaginary axis in stability switching curves, we obtain that the stability of the system changes when two delays cross the stability switching curves, and then, the system appears to have bifurcating periodic solutions near the positive equilibrium, which implies that the trajectory of the system is the axial symmetry. Secondly, we obtain the conditions for the existence of Hopf bifurcation. Finally, we give one example to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis. In particular, the geometric stability switch criteria are applied to the stability analysis of the fractional differential predator–prey system with two delays for the first time.
