Modeling and analysis of fascioliasis disease with Katugampola fractional derivative: a memory-incorporated epidemiological approach
摘要
Fascioliasis, a zoonotic disease, involves complex transmission across humans, animals, snails, and the environment. This study presents a fractional-order model using the Caputo-Katugampola derivative to capture memory effects in disease dynamics. The model, a system of nine fractional differential equations, is solved using the Chebyshev spectral method, with convergence ensured through rigorous analysis. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions via the Banach fixed-point theorem. Stability analysis derives the basic reproduction number
