Dengue Transmission Dynamics: A Fractional-Order Approach with Compartmental Modeling

Abstract

This work presents a quantitative analysis of the transmission dynamics of dengue using the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional-order derivative. It presents an extensive framework for modeling a dengue epidemic, including the various stages of infection and encompassing a wide range of transmission pathways. The proposed model is subjected to a rigorous qualitative study, including the determination of a non-negative solution, the assessment of the basic reproduction number, and an evaluation of local stability. Numerical solutions are obtained using the Newton method. The fractional-order operator, developed using the Caputo–Fabrizio approach, provides a refined perspective on the transmission dynamics of dengue. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the disease’s transmission mechanisms, considering both fractional-order dynamics and diverse transmission routes, thus offering insights for enhanced disease management and control.
