Fractional diffusion partial differential equation (PDE) models are used to describe anomalous transport phenomena in fractal porous media, where traditional diffusion models may not be applicable due to the presence of long-range dependencies and non-local behaviors. This study presents an efficient hybrid meshless method to the compute numerical solution of a two-dimensional multiterm time-fractional convection-diffusion equation. The proposed meshless method employs multiquadric-cubic radial basis functions for the spatial derivatives, and the Liouville-Caputo derivative technique is used for the time derivative portion of the model equation. The accuracy of the method is evaluated using error norms, and a comparison is made with the exact solution. The numerical results demonstrate that the suggested approach achieves better accuracy and computationally efficient performance.

In this study, we address a Cauchy problem within the context of the one-dimensional Timoshenko system, incorporating a distributed delay term. The heat conduction aspect is described by the Lord-Shulman theory. Our demonstration establishes that the dissipation resulting from the coupling of the Timoshenko system with Lord-Shulman’s heat conduction is sufficiently robust to stabilize the system, albeit with a gradual decay rate. To support our findings, we convert the system into a first-order form and, utilizing the energy method in Fourier space, and derive point wise estimates for the Fourier transform of the solution. These estimates, in turn, provide evidence for the slow decay of the solution.

Mathematical models for infectious diseases can help researchers, public health officials, and policymakers to predict the course of an outbreak. We formulate an epidemic model for the transmission dynamics of Zika infection with carriers to understand the intricate progression route of the infection. In our study, we focused on the visualization of the transmission patterns of the Zika with asymptomatic carriers, using fractional calculus. For the validity of the model, we have shown that the solutions of the system are positive and bounded. Moreover, we conduct a qualitative analysis and examine the dynamical behavior of Zika dynamics. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the system have been proved through analytic skills. We establish the necessary conditions to ensure the stability of the recommended system based on the Ulam–Hyers stability concept (UHS). Our research emphasizes the most critical factors, specifically the mosquito biting rate and the existence of asymptomatic carriers, in increasing the complexity of virus control efforts. Furthermore, we predict that the asymptomatic fraction has the ability to spread the infection to non-infected regions. Furthermore, treatment due to medication, the fractional parameter or memory index, and vaccination can serve as effective control measures in combating this viral infection.

The Lord Shulman swelling porous thermo-elastic soil system with the presence of a distributed delay term is studied in this work. We will establish the well-posedness of the system and the exponential stability of the system is derived.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, zoonotic diseases are the leading cause of sickness and mortality, yet preventing their spread has long been difficult. Vaccination initiatives have significantly reduced the frequency of zoonotic diseases mostly in African regions. Nonetheless, zoonotic illnesses continue to be a hazard to underdeveloped countries. Zoonotic infections are spread by direct contact, food, and water. We construct an epidemic model to understand zoonotic disease transmission phenomena. The model is examined using the fundamental results of fractional theory. The reproduction parameter ℛ0{{\mathcal{ {\mathcal R} }}}_{0} was obtained by inspecting the model’s steady states. The stability of the system’s steady states has been demonstrated. The system’s reproduction parameter is quantitatively explored by varying various input parameters. Furthermore, the presence and uniqueness of the solution of the proposed dynamics of zoonotic diseases have been demonstrated. Different simulations of the recommended zoonotic disease model with different input factors are performed to inspect the complex dynamics of zoonotic disease with the influence of various model factors. To establish effective prevention and control measures for the infection, we analyse dynamical behaviour of the system. Decreasing the fractional order θ\theta can decrease the infection level significantly. Different factors for reducing zoonotic diseases were recommended to regional policymakers.

It is well known that viral infections have a high impact on public health in multiple ways, including disease burden, outbreaks and pandemic, economic consequences, emergency response, strain on healthcare systems, psychological and social effects, and the importance of vaccination. Mathematical models of viral infections help policymakers and researchers to understand how diseases can spread, predict the potential impact of interventions, and make informed decisions to control and manage outbreaks.

These simulations provide visualizations of key factors and aid public health officials in implementing effective measures to control the spread of the virus.

The utilization of time-fractional PDEs in diverse fields within science and technology has attracted significant interest from researchers. This paper presents a relatively new numerical approach aimed at solving two-term time-fractional PDE models in two and three dimensions. We combined the Liouville–Caputo fractional derivative scheme with the Strang splitting algorithm for the temporal component and employed a meshless technique for spatial derivatives utilizing Lucas and Fibonacci polynomials. The rising demand for meshless methods stems from their inherent mesh-free nature and suitability for higher dimensions. Moreover, this approach demonstrates the effective approximation of solutions across both regular and irregular domains. Error norms were used to assess the accuracy of the methodology across both regular and irregular domains. A comparative analysis was conducted between the exact solution and alternative numerical methods found in the contemporary literature. The findings demonstrate that our proposed approach exhibited better performance while demanding fewer computational resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Infectious disease cryptosporidiosis is caused by the cryptosporidium parasite, a type of parasitic organism. It is spread through the ingestion of contaminated water, food, or fecal matter from infected animals or humans. The control becomes difficult because the parasite may remain in the environment for a long period. In this work, we constructed an epidemic model for the infection of cryptosporidiosis in a fractional framework with strong and weak immunity concepts. In our analysis, we utilize the well-known next-generation matrix technique to evaluate the reproduction number of the recommended model, indicated by R0. As R0<1 , our results show that the disease-free steady-state is locally asymptotically stable; in other cases, it becomes unstable. Our emphasis is on the dynamical behavior and the qualitative analysis of cryptosporidiosis. Moreover, the fixed point theorem of Schaefer and Banach has been utilized to investigate the existence and uniqueness of the solution. We identify suitable conditions for the Ulam-Hyers stability of the proposed model of the parasitic infection. The impact of the determinants on the sickness caused by cryptosporidiosis is highlighted by the examination of the solution pathways using a novel numerical technique. Numerical investigation is conducted on the solution pathways of the system while varying various input factors. Policymakers and health officials are informed of the crucial factors pertaining to the infection system to aid in its control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The index of memory, vaccination, and treatment are suggested to be attractive parameters which can reduce the level of infection while the biting rate, asymptomatic carriers and transmission rate are critical as they can increase the risk of the infection in society. Our findings not only provide information for the effective management of the infection they also possess valuable insights that can improve public health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
