Numerical investigation of a typhoid disease model in fuzzy environment

Abstract

AbstractSalmonella Typhi, a bacteria, is responsible for typhoid fever, a potentially dangerous infection. Typhoid fever affects a large number of people each year, estimated to be between 11 and 20 million, resulting in a high mortality rate of 128,000 to 161,000 deaths. This research investigates a robust numerical analytic strategy for typhoid fever that takes infection protection into consideration and incorporates fuzzy parameters. The use of fuzzy parameters acknowledges the variation in parameter values among individuals in the population, which leads to uncertainties. Because of their diverse histories, different age groups within this community may exhibit distinct customs, habits, and levels of resistance. Fuzzy theory appears as the most appropriate instrument for dealing with these uncertainty. With this in mind, a model of typhoid fever featuring fuzzy parameters is thoroughly examined. Two numerical techniques are developed within a fuzzy framework to address this model. We employ the non-standard finite difference (NSFD) scheme, which ensures the preservation of essential properties like dynamic consistency and positivity. Additionally, we conduct numerical simulations to illustrate the practical applicability of the developed technique. In contrast to many classical methods commonly found in the literature, the proposed approach exhibits unconditional convergence, solidifying its status as a dependable tool for investigating the dynamics of typhoid disease.
