Numerical study for time delay multistrain tuberculosis model of fractional order (Q1674928): Difference between revisions

Summary: A novel mathematical fractional model of multistrain tuberculosis with time delay memory is presented. The proposed model is governed by a system of fractional delay differential equations, where the fractional derivative is defined in the sense of the Grünwald-Letnikov definition. Modified parameters are introduced to account for the fractional order. The stability of the equilibrium points is investigated for any time delay. A nonstandard finite deference method is proposed to solve the resulting system of fractional-order delay differential equations. Numerical simulations show that nonstandard finite difference method can be applied to solve such fractional delay differential equations simply and effectively.
