Abstract

In the scope of this research endeavor, we embarked on the development of a dynamic model, intricately designed to scrutinize the intricate dynamics of Lassa fever transmission, encompassing both detected and undetected cases. Our central objective revolved around the meticulous examination of how a vaccine could exert its influence on the transmission dynamics of Lassa disease. The study encompassed an exhaustive exploration of the model's equilibrium states, diligently scrutinizing both disease-free and endemic equilibria. To shed light on the potential for disease spread, we calculated the pivotal epidemiological parameter, the basic reproduction number, employing the rigorous next-generation matrix methodology. Subsequently, we delved into a comprehensive stability analysis, encompassing both local and global stability assessments. The Routh-Hurwitz conditions were harnessed for local stability analysis, while the Castillo-Chavez criterion was leveraged for global stability analysis. In our quest for a profound understanding, we ventured into analytical techniques to derive exact solutions for the model, coupled with numerical computations facilitated by the versatile MATHEMATICA software. The culmination of our endeavors unveiled a compelling insight: the disease-free equilibrium attains local asymptotic stability if and only if the basic reproduction number assumes a value below unity; conversely, it stands as unstable when this threshold is exceeded. In essence, this implies that the complete eradication of Lassa fever is within reach when the secondary infection rate remains constrained below a critical threshold.

Abstract

This paper explores the application of the Modified New Iterative Method (MNIM) to solve nonlinear fractional-order delay differential equations (NFDDEs). A series of test problems are presented to evaluate the method's performance across various fractional orders. The results indicate that MNIM yields highly accurate approximations, particularly when the fractional order approaches an integer. The method is especially effective for integer-order cases and for fractional orders close to them. However, its accuracy decreases as the fractional order becomes smaller, with noticeable errors emerging over larger domains. MNIM remains a powerful and adaptable approach for solving a broad class of fractional differential equations.
