A fractional derivative approach to infectious disease dynamics: modeling and optimal control strategies
摘要
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of infectious disease dynamics through mathematical modeling and optimal control strategies. The primary objective is to derive insights into disease transmission by employing a model structured on integer and Caputo fractional order derivatives (CFOD). Initially, we establish the feasible region and confirm the boundedness of the model. Subsequently, the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) points and the basic reproduction number (
