Solving smoking epidemic model of fractional order using a modified homotopy analysis transform method.

The pivotal aim of the present work is to obtain an approximated analytical solution for the fractional smoking epidemic model with the aid of a novel technique called q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM). The considered nonlinear mathematical model has been effectively employed to elucidate the evolution of smoking in a population and its impact on public health in a community. We find some new approximate solutions in a series form, which converges rapidly, and the proposed algorithm provides auxiliary parameters, which are very reliable and feasible in controlling the convergence of obtained approximate solutions. Further, we present novel simulations for all cases of results to validate the applicability and effectiveness of proposed scheme. The outcomes of the study reveal that the q-HATM is computationally very effective to analyse nonlinear fractional differential equations arises in daily life problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
