A case study of fractal-fractional tuberculosis model in China: Existence and stability theories along with numerical simulations.

In this article, a fractal-fractional order tuberculosis mathematical model is presented for the existence results, numerical simulations and stability analysis. The model has six classes S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , E , I , R. The first three classes S 1 , S 2 , S 3 represent the population of susceptible children, middle-aged, and senior adults, respectively. While I is the class of active infected individuals who can transmit the tuberculosis, E stands for non-active infected class. The population of recovered individuals is represented by R. For the existence criterion of the given model, successive iterative sequences are defined whose limit points are the solutions of our proposed tuberculosis model. After investigation of uniqueness property, the Hyers–Ulam (HU)-stability is established in the sequel. With the help of two-step Lagrange polynomials, we provide numerical solutions and we give a comparative numerical analysis for different values of the fractional order and fractal order based on the obtained algorithms. The numerical simulations show the applicability of the schemes and the future prediction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
