A mathematical model for fractal-fractional monkeypox disease and its application to real data

Abstract

In this paper, we developed a nonlinear mathematical model for the transmission of the monkeypox virus among populations of humans and rodents under the fractal-fractional operators in the context of Atangana-Baleanu. For the theoretical analysis, the renowned theorems of fixed points, like Banach's and Krasnoselskii's types, were used to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solutions. Additionally, some results regarding the stability of the equilibrium points and the basic reproduction number were provided. In addition, the numerical schemes of the considered model were established using the Adams-Bashforth method. Our analytical findings were supported by the numerical simulations to explain the effects of changing a few sets of fractional orders and fractal dimensions. Some graphic simulations were displayed with some parameters calculated from real data to understand the behavior of the model.
