Dynamical analysis and optimal control of fractional monkeypox transmission model
摘要
In this study, we develop a fractional-order mathematical model to investigate the transmission dynamics of monkeypox disease using the Caputo derivative. To ensure that the model accurately represents the epidemiological patterns of monkeypox cases in the USA, some parameters are estimated from available demographic and literature data, while others are obtained using the least-squares curve-fitting method. From a dynamical systems perspective, we established the existence and uniqueness of solutions, along with their non-negativity and boundedness. The basic reproduction number is computed using the next generation matrix approach, and the influence of model parameters on this threshold is illustrated graphically. A normalized sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the most influential parameters affecting
