Abstract

In this paper, the fractional order analysis of the behaviour of the four-dimensional chronic wasting disease (CWD) communities model has been presented. The complexity and dynamical behaviour of the CWD model have been calculated using two fractional derivatives. CWD, a neurological disease that affects deer, has resulted in many deaths and infections among deer populations around the world. To better understand and tackle this eco-epidemiological issue, we used two numerical schemes utilizing the Caputo fractional operator and the Atangana-Baleanu (AB) fractional operator. We have investigated the stability of the eco-epidemiological CWD model. The fixed point theory is a volumetric role play in analyzing the existence and uniqueness of the solution. We use bifurcation diagrams, time series diagrams, and phase diagrams to analyze fractional-order eco-epedimological systems with derivative orders and parameters varying. We examine the approximate result of the eco-epidemiological CWD model with the Atangana-Baleanu (AB) operator and the Caputo operator, and we also compare both solutions. We do a brief analysis of the simulated results, which reveals that the suggested methodologies are novel, dependable, and remarkably easy to implement. In addition to determining the direction, stability, bifurcating, and numerical solutions, graphic depiction and graph bifurcation provide better information about the proposed model.

1. Introduction

Fractional calculus has become increasingly important in various interdisciplinary fields such as Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Engineering. Fractional calculus is associated with Mathematics, which is as old as calculus, and it deals with arbitrary orders of differentiation and integration (Mainardi, Citation2012). In recent times, a lot of biological models have been analyzed using fractional derivatives (Caputo, Citation1969; Kumar, Alshahrani, Yakout, Abdel-Aty, & Kumar, Citation2021). The Caputo fractional operator is the most commonly used operator for simulating real-world problems. The Riemann-Liouville (RL) operator is also closely related to the Caputo fractional operator, but the main difference between them is the singularity quality of the kernels. Using these operators may not always lead to better results when studying the dynamics of various models. Therefore, researchers suggest using fractional operators with non-singular kernels to better understand the dynamics of models. Atangana and Baleanu developed a non-singular kernel derivative operator using the Mittag-Leffer function, which has a non-local and non-singular kernel, making it particularly useful for individuals engaged in numerical modelling of real-world problems. The Atangana-Baleanu (AB) derivative has gained significant importance and popularity in recent decades in various fields, particularly biological models (Alkahtani & Atangana, Citation2016; Kumar, Alshahrani, et al., Citation2021). In fractional calculus, many derivatives are there but the Riemann Liouville (RL), Caputo, and Atangana-Baleanu (AB) operators play major roles in the analysis of biological models but still need more particular attention (Losada & Nieto, Citation2015; Uçar, Uçar, Özdemir, & Hammouch, Citation2019). Fractional order derivatives can be used to illustrate a variety of natural occurrences and facts that have non-local, intricate dynamical behaviour. When examining the system, such operators make it easier to solve the system. As is well known, biological models have memory effects and hereditary characteristics, and fractional calculus is a better way to describe them. Fractional-order systems, as opposed to integer-order systems, results that are more accurate when describing the complicated behaviour of epidemic diseases. In this paper, the authors introduce a new method for modelling the dynamics of influenza A disease and the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative operator into the model, a more accurate representation of the disease’s behaviour (Evirgen, Esmehan, Sümeyra, & Özdemir, Citation2023). In this paper, Veeresha et al. have given information about Zika virus disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito from the Aedes species. It can become a severe epidemic if not controlled during its early stages. The nonlinear partial differential model is analyzed and solved using the q-homotopy analysis transform method. The Atangana-Baleanu (AB) definition of fractional derivative is utilized in the process (Veeresha, Akinyemi, Oluwasegun, Şenol, & Oduro, Citation2022).

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly infectious and dangerous disease that affects deer (Williams & Young, Citation1980). The disease was first identified in captive mule deer at a wildlife research lab in northern Colorado, USA, and southeastern Wyoming in 1967 (Sigurdson, Citation2008). In 1996, CWD was discovered among free-ranging deer and elk in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming. Apart from North America, this disease has only been found in South Korea, where it is believed to have originated from Canada (Miller et al., Citation2000). From 1996 to 1999, the prevalence of this disease was estimated to be approximately 2% in white-tailed deer, less than 1% in elk, and 5% in mule deer, based on disease surveillance of harvested animals in this area (Miller et al., Citation2000). Captive deer and elk are highly susceptible to this disease and it can spread quickly among them. However, we still do not fully understand the source and transmission mechanisms of the prions that cause CWD.

In the past, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) used to be considered a rare and foreign disease. However, in recent years, this disease has become increasingly concerning as it has emerged as a transmissible branch of prion diseases (Barlow, Citation1996; Lafferty & Holt, Citation2003). The most effective ways to eliminate diseases are through vaccination and prevention. Unfortunately, there is still no vaccination strategy available for lethal illnesses such as CWD. This disease is quite peculiar as it affects both farmed and wild animals. Animals that are infected with CWD can directly and indirectly affect other animals. When these infected animals leave behind excrement and carcasses, they can be harmful to susceptible animals. To truly understand the disease and its incidence in wildlife, we need to conduct long-term investigations. The narration of the symptoms of a certain disease is derived from the scanning of infected animals (Thompson Hobbs, Citation2006). This disease can be transmitted naturally through bodily fluids such as sputum, urine, and faeces. Infected deer blood in platelets and B cells carries the infectiousness but plasma is not infected. Recent research suggests that CWD prions may also be present in the skeletal muscle of infected animals. Symptoms of this disease in animals include excessive salivation, physiological changes, increased thirst, loss of coordination, changes in behaviour, difficulty swallowing, and more. CWD prions can remain in the environment for at least two years, making the disease highly infectious for the cervine family, including bucks, moose, and elk (Hsieh & Hsiao, Citation2008; Mukherjee, Citation2003; Citation2003; Venturino, Citation2002). Unfortunately, there is currently no perfect medication or treatment for this disease. The primary approach to managing the disease is to hunt infected animals and remove them from their families. In this article, we aim to analyze the eco-epidemic model with indirect transmission and explore ways to control CWD transmission through predation. A reliable eco-epidemiological model can provide vital information about diseases, and further research in this field can be conducted with the assistance of such models.

Some numerical schemes have been developed as mathematical tools for solving biological models and fractional-order differential equations (Kumar, Kumar, & Jleli, Citation2020). Recently, a new fractional operator was created to address issues with the power-law kernel and the existing fractional operator. Literature is abundant on various numerical methods, such as the predictor-corrector method (Evirgen, Esmehan, et al., 2023; Citation2023; Joshi & Yavuz, Citation2023), Newton interpolation formula (Rahman, Arfan, & Baleanu, Citation2023), Adam-Bashforth method, Toufik-Atangana technique (Joshi, Yavuz, Townley, & Jha, Citation2023) and Runge-Kutta technique (Fatima, Yavuz, Ur Rahman, & Al-Duais, Citation2023). The Toufik-Atangana approach is highly regarded as an effective numerical technique for solving non-linear systems (Khan & Atangana, Citation2020; Toufik & Atangana, Citation2017). To overcome the shortcomings of the popular Adams-Bashforth approach, the Toufik-Atangana numerical system is introduced. The novel numerical approach has the combination of the two-step Lagrange polynomial and the fundamental theorem of fractional calculus. This approach converges to the solution rapidly and with great accuracy. We used this numerical technique for investigating the eco-epidemiological system with the help of the Atangana-Baleanu (AB) fractional operator (Toufik & Atangana, Citation2017). In this paper, we have used this scheme with different fractional operators in this biological model.

The work is organized as follows: Section 2 examines fractional calculus definitions and basic concepts. In section 3, we examine Caputo and Atangana-Baleanu’s (AB) non-integer eco-epidemiological model. In section 4, we examine equilibrium points and stability. In section 5, we address the uniqueness and existence of the proposed model solution. In section 6, we present the numerical technique for the Toufik-Atangana (TA) with the Caputo operator. TA numerical scheme using the ABC operator is presented in section 7. Graphical analysis and numerical results are presented in section 8. The study’s conclusions are discussed in section 9.

2. Definitions and basic concepts

In this portion, we have present some essential elucidation, theorems, and symbols of the fractional calculus theory that are applied in the task.

Definition 2.1

(Uçar et al., Citation2019) Suppose that H1(a,b) and a<b, so the Caputo fractional differential operator is defined as follows (1) aCDtφ[(t)]=1Γ(mφ)at(m)(z)(tz)(mφ1)dz,m1<φ<mN,(1) Γ(.) denotes a gamma function.

Definition 2.2.

The Caputo integral is defined as follows (2) aCItφ[(t)]=1Γ(φ)at(z)(tz)φ1dz.(2)

Definition 2.3

(Uçar et al., Citation2019). Suppose that H1(a,b), a<b, φ [0,1]. The Atangana-Baleanu (AB) operator in Riemann-Liouville type is defined as follows (3) ABRLaDtφ[(t)]=B(φ)1φddtat(z)Eφ(φ(tz)φ1φ)dz.(3)

It is usually the case that B(0) = B(1) = 1, and B(φ) is a normalization function.

Definition 2.4

(Uçar et al., Citation2019) Suppose that H1(a,b), a<b, and φ [0,1]. Then the Atangana-Baleanu (AB) operator in Caputo type is defined as follows (4) ABCaDtφ[(t)]=B(φ)1φat(z)Eφ(φ(tz)φ1φ)dz.(4)

Definition 2.5

(Atangana & Koca, Citation2016) Suppose that a be the base point and φ is the order of operator in the Atangana-Baleanu (AB) integral operator is defined as follows (5) ABaItφ[(t)]=1φB(φ)(t)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)at(z)(tz)φ1dz.(5)

Theorem 2.1

(Chen, Petras, & Xue, Citation2009; Irudayaraj et al., Citation2020; Santosh Kumar, Citation2014) Matignon’s stability theorem and its condition is (6) |arg(eig(M))|=|arg(λj¯)|>φπ2, j=1,2,,m,(6) where 0 < φ < 1 and eig(M) (i.e λj¯) represents the eigenvalues of matrix M.

3. Caputo and Atangana-Baleanu fractional model of eco-epidemiological

Some years ago, CWD was called zombie deer disease. This deadly- infectious and neurological infection influences the deer family. Based on experiments, it has been seen that CWD can be transmitted to vulnerable animals through the residues of excreta that are left behind in the environment by infected animals and their carcasses (Packer, Holt, Hudson, Lafferty, & Dobson, Citation2003). This mode of transmission is considered older than the traditional models of direct contact between animals (Miller & Wild, Citation2004). It can be challenging to observe these diseases thoroughly since a prolonged epizootic may induce low, frequently undiagnosed infection morbidity or mortality. Long-term investigations will be beneficial to comprehending the incidence and geographical dynamics of chronic wildlife disease. It’s significant to understand the patterns and dynamics of chronic disease in wildlife, and one way to do that is through modelling the complexity of the situation. By doing so, we can gain a better understanding of how these diseases spread over time and space, which can help us develop effective strategies for managing and preventing them. Although CWD prions can remain contagious in the environment for years, relatively little is known about the possible consequences of indirect CWD dynamic transfer. The proposed model obeyed a hunt-predator method and split the hunt population into two parts, the first part infected animals and the second part non-infected animals. The susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model in infection transfer among humans is the foundation of the eco-epidemiological model (Allen, Brauer, Van den Driessche, & Wu, Citation2008). This model is expressed in terms of nonlinear equations. Hunter’s functional reaction is supposed to be the Holling type II. Based on the aforementioned, the integer-order CWD model (Maji, Mukherjee, & Kesh, Citation2018) is as follows: (7) dSdt=S[r(1S+Ig)βE],dIdt=βSEνIaIPm+I,dEdt=ϵIϱE,dPdt=P(d+bIm+I),(7) with initial conditions S(0) > 0, I(0) > 0, E(0) > 0, P(0) 0.

In this scenario, S represents the density of the susceptible animals, while I denotes the infected ones. E represents the mass of infectious material in the environment, and P is the density of the predator. In this context, the various parameters are defined as follows:

  • r represents the maximum per-capita growth rate,

  • d represents the death rate of the predator,

  • g represents the environmental carrying capacity of the prey,

  • ϱ represents the mass-specific rate of loss of infectious material from the environment,

  • ν represents the death rate of infected animals through CWD,

  • ϵ represents the per-capita rate of excretion of infectious material by infected animals,

  • a represents the predation coefficient,

  • m represents a half-saturation constant,

  • b represents the conversion coefficient of the predator,

  • β represents the indirect transmission coefficient for the disease.

When animals that are vulnerable to infection come in contact with infectious material in their surroundings, they have contracted the disease. These infected animals can then transmit the infection to others through contact with the contaminated environment, thus facilitating the spread of the disease. This model can be applied to the spread of various other diseases such as tuberculosis in livestock (Brennan, Kemp, & Christley, Citation2008), viral hepatitis A (Ajelli, Iannelli, Manfredi, & Ciofi Degli Atti, Citation2008), Vibrio cholerae (Das & Mukherjee, Citation2012), avian influenza (Breban, Drake, Stallknecht, & Rohani, Citation2009), and so on.

The fractional Caputo derivative is applied in system Equation(7). Thus, the existing model is replaced by the following model: (8) C0DtφS=S[r(1S+Ig)βE],C0DtφI=βSEνIaIPm+I,C0DtφE=ϵIϱE,C0DtφP=P(d+bIm+I),(8) with initial conditions S(0) > 0, I(0) > 0, E(0) > 0, P(0) 0.

To gain a fractional derivative model, we operate the Atangana-Baleanu operator in system Equation(7). We found the new model is an expression of the Atangana-Baleanu (AB) operator: (9) ABC0DtφS=S[r(1S+Ig)βE],ABC0DtφI=βSEνIaIPm+I,ABC0DtφE=ϵIϱE,ABC0DtφP=P(d+bIm+I),(9) with initial conditions S(0) > 0, I(0) > 0, E(0) > 0, P(0) 0.

4. Equilibrium points and stability analysis

The fractional-order eco-epidemiological model is employed here to examine its stability. At first, our work is to find out the equilibrium points of the system Equation(9). (10) S[r(1S+Ig)βE]=0,βSEνIaIPm+I=0,ϵIϱE=0,P(d+bIm+I)=0.(10)

We have found four equilibrium points:

Let (S, I, E, P) be any point, then the Jacobian matrix for system Equation(9) is described as (11) J(S,I,E,P)=[r2rSgrIgβErSgβS0βEνmaP(m+I)2βSaIm+I0ϵϱ00mbP(m+I)20d+bIm+I](11)

In this portion, we have investigated the behaviour of the equilibrium points of the fractional epidemiological system Equation(9) with the help of the Matignon condition and the Jacobian matrix.

Theorem 4.1.

The trivial equilibrium point E0=(0,0,0,0) is unstable.

Proof 4.1.

The Jacobian matrix Equation(11) evaluated at the equilibrium point E0=(0,0,0,0). J(E0)=[r0000ν000ϵϱ0000d]

The eigenvalues of J(E0) are λ¯1 = r, λ¯2 = ν,λ¯3 = ϱ and λ¯4 =—d. With the help of Matignon’s condition, we observed that |arg(λ¯i)| = π > φπ2, i = 2, 3, 4 for all 0 < φ < 1. But λ¯1 does not satisfy the Matignon condition. Therefore equilibrium point E0 is unstable.

Theorem 4.2.

The equilibrium point E1=(g,0,0,0) of system Equation(9) is

  1. If ν ϱ > ϵβg then the equilibrium point E1 is locally asymptotically stable (LAS).

  2. If ν ϱ < ϵβg then the equilibrium point E1 is unstable.

Proof 4.2.

The Jacobian matrix Equation(11) evaluated at the equilibrium point E1=(g,0,0,0). J(E1)=[rrβg00νβg00ϵϱ0000d]

The characteristic equation of J(E1) is following as (λ¯+r)(λ¯+d)(λ¯2+λ¯(ϱ+ν)+ϱνβgϵ)=0.

Therefore, eigenvalues are λ¯1 =—r, λ¯2 = ν,λ¯3 = −d and λ¯4 = (νϱϵβg)ν. All the eigenvalues have negative real parts, then |arg(λ¯i)| = π > φπ2,i=1,2,3,4 for all 0 < φ < 1. So, we can say that Matiginon’s condition hold, if νϱ > ϵβg. Then the equilibrium point E1 is locally asymptotically stable (LAS). We assume that if νϱ < ϵβg then the Matiginon’s condition not holds. Hence, the equilibrium point E1 is unstable in this condition.

Theorem 4.3.

The equilibrium point E2=(Ŝ,Î,Ê,0) of system Equation(9) is

(i) If rϱ Ŝ > g > Ŝ and d < bÎm+Î then the equilibrium point E2 is locally asymptotically stable.

Proof 4.3.

The Jacobian matrix Equation(11) around the equilibrium point E2 is given as J(E2)=[rŜgrŜgβŜ0βÊνβŜaÎm+Î0ϵϱ0000d+bÎm+Î]where Ŝ=ϱνϵβ, Î=ϱÊϵ, Ê=r(gβϵϱν)β(rϱ+gϵβ).

So, the characteristic equation of J(E2) is following as (λ¯+dbÎm+Î)(λ¯3+1λ¯2+2λ¯+3)=0,where 1=rŜg+ν+ϱ, 2=rŜg(ν+ϱ+βÊ), 3=rβϱŜÊg+β2ϵŜÊ. Now, P(λ¯)=λ¯3+1λ¯2+2λ¯+3=0, and D(P) is discriminant of the polynomial P(λ¯).

  1. When D(P)>0,1, and 3 are greater than zero and 12 - 3 > 0 and φ[0,1), in this case the equilibrium point E2 is LAS.

  2. When D(P)<0,10,20, 3>0 and φ[0,23) in this case the equilibrium point E2 is LAS.

First, we assume that 1, and 3 are greater than zero and 12 - 3 > 0. We see clearly one of the root of the characteristic equation is negative (i.e λ¯1 = d+bÎm+Î). With the use of given conditions and our assumption, we found that each of the eigenvalues has negative real parts. Consequently, the equilibrium point E2 is satisfied Matignon’s condition (i.e |arg(λ¯i)| > φπ2) and the present point is locally asymptotically stable.

Theorem 4.4.

The equilibrium point E3=(S*,I*,E*,P*) is locally asymptotically stable (LAS) or unstable.

Proof 4.4.

Now, the equilibrium point E3 putting in the Jacobian matrix Equation(11), we have J(E3)=[a11a12a13a14a21a22a23a24a31a32a33a34a41a42a43a44]where   a11=rS*g, a12=rS*g, a13=βS*, a14=0,a21=βE*, a22=νmaP*(m+I*)2, a23=βS*, a24=aI*m+I*,a31=0, a32=ϵ, a33=ϱ, a34=0,a41=0, a42=mbP*(m+I*)2, a43=0, a44=0,S*=grϱ(bd)dgmβϵdmrϱrϱ(bd), I*=dmbd,E*=dmϵϱ(bd), P*=bm(S*ϵβϱν)aϱ(bd).

Therefore, J(E3) has the characteristic equation P(λ¯)=λ¯4+h1λ¯3+h2λ¯2+h3λ¯+h4=0,where h1=a11a22a33,h2=a11a22+a11a33a23a32a24a42+a22a33a12a21,h3=a11a23a32+a11a24a42a11a22a33+a24a42a33+a12a21a33a13a21a32,h4=a11a24a42a33.

We analyze the behavior of equilibrium point E3 and D(P) is discriminant of the polynomial P(λ¯). D(P)=|1h1h2h3h40001h1h2h3h40001h1h2h3h443h12h2h3000043h12h2h3000043h12h2h3000043h12h2h3|.

(i) Let Δ1,Δ2,Δ3 and Δ4 are Routh-Hurwitz determinants Δ1=h1,Δ2=|h11h3h2|,Δ3=|h110h3h2h10h4h3|,Δ4=|h1100h3h2h100h4h3h2000h4|,when Det(Δi)>0,i=1,2,3,4 equilibrium point E3 to be LAS φ[0,1) and this is sufficient conditions for this point.

(ii) When D(P)>0,h1>0,h2<0 and φ[23,1], in this case the equilibrium point E3 is unstable.

(iii) When D(P)<0,h1>0,h2>0,h3>0,h4>0 and φ[0,12), in this case point E3 is LAS. Again, when D(P)<0,h1<0,h2>0,h3<0,h4>0 in this case E3 is unstable.

(iv) When D(P)<0,h1>0,h2>0,h3>0,h4>0 and h2=h1h4h3+h3h1, in this case the point E3 is LAS φ[0,1).

(v) E3 equilibrium point is LAS, necessary condition for this point is if h4>0.

5. Essential uniqueness and existent for the solution for the model

Within this segment, we investigate the essential uniqueness and existent of the solution for the Atangana-Baleanu fractional model with system Equation(9). Applying the AB-fractional integral operator into system Equation(9), we obtain (12) S(t)S(0)=1φB(φ)[S(t){r(1S(t)+I(t)g)βE(t)}]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[S(ω){r(1S(ω)+I(ω)g)βE(ω)}]dω,I(t)I(0)=1φB(k)[βS(t)E(t)νI(t)aI(t)P(t)m+I(t)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[βS(ω)E(ω)νI(ω)aI(ω)P(ω)m+I(ω)]dω,E(t)E(0)=1φB(φ)[ϵI(t)ϱE(t)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)k1[ϵI(ω)ϱE(ω)]dω,P(t)P(0)=1φB(φ)[P(t){d+bI(t)m+I(t)}]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[P(ω){d+bI(ω)m+I(ω)}]dω.(12)

We define the following kernels: (13) N1(t,S)=S(t){r(1S(t)+I(t)g)βE(t)},N2(t,I)=βS(t)E(t)νI(t)aI(t)P(t)m+I(t),N3(t,E)=ϵI(t)ϱE(t),N4(t,P)=P(t){d+bI(t)m+I(t)}.(13)

Theorem 5.1.

If only the undermentioned dissimilitude holds: 0r(1+2θ1+θ2g)+βθ3<1.

Then the kernel N1 convinces the Lipschitz condition and contraction mapping.

Proof 5.1.

We assume that S and S1 are any two functions, so we get N1(t,S)N1(t,S1)=S(t)[r(1S(t)+I(t)g)βE(t)]S1(t)[r(1S1(t)+I(t)g)βE(t)],[r(1+I(t)+S(t)+S1(t)g)+βE(t)]S(t)S1(t),=ϒ1S(t)S1(t).

Let ϒ1=0r(1+2θ1+θ2g)+βθ3<1, ourself do suppose that S, I, E, and P are positive and bounded functions, i.e. S(t)θ1, I(t)θ2,E(t)θ3 and P(t)θ4, where θ1, θ2, θ3 and θ4 are some positive constants. (14) ||N1(t,S)N1(t,S1)||ϒ1||S(t)S1(t)||.(14)

Hence, kernel N1 is satisfies the Lipschitz condition and since 0r(1+2θ1+θ2g)+βθ3<1,N1 is also a contraction.

In this, similar way for the kernels N2, N3 and N4 can be obtained using (I,I1),(E,E1), and (P,P1) respectively, as follow: (15) N2(t,I)N2(t,I1)ϒ2I(t)I1(t),N3(t,E)N3(t,E1)ϒ3E(t)E1(t),N4(t,P)N4(t,P1)ϒ4P(t)P1(t).(15)

With help of Equationequations (14) and Equation(15), we apply the above mentioned kernels, then system Equation(12) becomes (16) S(t)=S(0)+1φB(φ)N1(t,S)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N1(ω,S)dω,I(t)=I(0)+1φB(φ)N2(t,I)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N2(ω,I)dω,E(t)=E(0)+1φB(φ)N3(t,E)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N3(ω,E)dω,P(t)=P(0)+1φB(φ)N4(t,P)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N4(ω,P)dω.(16)

We now introduce the following recursive formulas: (17) Se(t)=1φB(φ)N1(t,Se1)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N1(ω,Se1)dω,Ie(t)=1φB(φ)N2(t,Ie1)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N2(ω,Ie1)dω,Ee(t)=1φB(φ)N3(t,Ee1)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N3(ω,Ee1)dω,Pe(t)=1φB(φ)N4(t,Pe1)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N4(ω,Pe1)dω,(17) where the initial condition are S0(t)=S(0),I0(t)=I(0),E0(t)=E(0),P0(t)=P(0).

The differences between the consecutive terms for the recursive formulas can be written as (18) χe(t)=Se(t)Se1(t)=1φB(φ)[N1(t,Se1)N1(t,Se2)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N1(ω,Se1)N1(ω,Se2)]dω,(18) (19) ϕe(t)=Ie(t)Ie1(t)=1φB(φ)[N2(t,Ie1)N2(t,Ie2)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N2(ω,Ie1)N2(ω,Ie2)]dω,(19) (20) ψe(t)=Ee(t)Ee1(t)=1φB(φ)[N3(t,Ee1)N3(t,Ee2)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N3(ω,Ee1)N3(ω,Ee2)]dω,(20) (21) ξe(t)=Pe(t)Pe1(t)=1φB(φ)[N4(t,Pe1)N4(t,Pe2)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N4[(ω,Pe1)N4(ω,Pe2)]dω.(21)

Note that: (22) Se(t)=j=1eχj,Ie(t)=j=1eϕj,Ee(t)=j=1eψj,Pe(t)=j=1eξj.(22)

We solve the Equationequation (18), and the norm is applied on both sides of the Equationequation (18), then we obtain (23) χe(t)=Se(t)Se1(t)=1φB(φ)[N1(t,Se1)N1(t,Se2)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N1(ω,Se1)N1(ω,Se2)]dω.(23)

Applying the triangle inequality on Equationequation (23), we obtain (24) χe(t)=Se(t)Se1(t)1φB(φ)[N1(t,Se1)N1(t,Se2)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N1(ω,Se1)N1(ω,Se2)]dω.(24)

So the kernel N1 propitiate the Lipschitz condition with Lipschitz constant ϒ1, we find (25) χe(t)=Se(t)Se1(t)1φB(φ)ϒ1Se1Se2+φB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ10t(tω)φ1Se1Se2dω,(25) thus, we obtain (26) χe(t)1φB(φ)ϒ1χe1(t)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ10t(tω)φ1χe1(ω)dω.(26)

In a similar manner, we get (27) ϕe(t)1φB(φ)ϒ2ϕe1(t)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ20t(tω)φ1ϕe1(ω)dω,ψe(t)1φB(φ)ϒ3ψe1(t)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ30t(tω)φ1ψe1(ω)dω,ξe(t)1φB(φ)ϒ4ξe1(t)+φB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ40t(tω)φ1ξe1(ω)dω.(27)

Theorem 5.2.

If there exists a time t0>0, then following inequalities hold: (28) 1φB(φ)ϒ1+t0φB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ1<1,(28) then proposed model of solution exist.

Proof 5.2.

We know that S(t),I(t),E(t) and P(t) are bounded and the kernels satisfy Lipschitz condition.Using Equationequations (26) and Equation(27), and applying the recursive method, we find (29) χe(t)S(0)[1φB(φ)ϒ1+tφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ1]e,ϕe(t)I(0)[1φB(φ)ϒ2+tφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ2]e,ψe(t)E(0)[1φB(φ)ϒ3+tφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ3]e,ξe(t)P(0)[1φB(φ)ϒ4+tφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ4]e.(29)

We will prove the above functions are solutions of system Equation(9). Let assume that (30) S(t)S(0)=Se(t)Ae(t),I(t)I(0)=Ie(t)Be(t),E(t)E(0)=Ee(t)Ce(t),P(t)P(0)=Pe(t)De(t).(30)

Then, we have (31) Ae(t)=1φB(φ)[N1(t,S)N1(t,Se1)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N1(ω,S)N1(ω,Se1)]dω,1φB(φ)[N1(t,S)N1(t,Se1)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N1(ω,S)N1(ω,Se1)]dω,1φB(φ)ϒ1SSe1+tφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ1SSe1.(31)

Repeating this process recursively, it becomes (32) Ae(t)[1φB(φ)+tφB(φ)Γ(φ)]e+1ϒ1e+1â.(32)

At the point t0, we get (33) Ae(t)[1φB(φ)+t0φB(φ)Γ(φ)]e+1ϒ1e+1â.(33)

As e tends to infinity,then limit in the Equationequation (33), we get Ae(t)0.

Similarly, we get Be(t)0,Ce(t)0,De(t)0.

As a result, the existence of proposed model is proven.

Theorem 5.3.

The system Equation(9) has a unique solution if satisfies the following conditions: (34) (11φB(φ)ϒjtφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒj)>0.   for j=1,2,3,4.(34)

Proof 5.3.

Let assume that S1(t),I1(t),E1(t) and P1(t) be different solutions of the proposed model. We have (35) S(t)S1(t)=1φB(φ)[N1(t,S)N1(t,S1)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1[N1(ω,S)N1(ω,S1)]dω,(35) taking norm on both sides, (36) S(t)S1(t)1φB(φ)[N1(t,S)N1(t,S1)]+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0t(tω)φ1N1(ω,S)N1(ω,S1)dω,(36) the kernel satisfies Lipschitz condition, so S(t)S1(t)1φB(φ)ϒ1S(t)S1(t)+tφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ1S(t)S1(t),then S(t)S1(t)(11φB(φ)ϒ1tφB(φ)Γ(φ)ϒ1)0.

So S(t)S1(t)=0,we have (37) S(t)=S1(t).(37)

Like this way, we obtain (38) I(t)=I1(t),E(t)=E1(t),P(t)=P1(t).(38)

Therefore, the proof is completed for a unique solution of the fractional eco-epidemiological system.

6. Toufik-Atangana (TA) numerical scheme for eco-epidemiological model with Caputo operator

In this paper, authors have achieved various numerical simulations and results through the Toufik-Atangana scheme for host-parasitoid model (Kumar, Alshahrani, et al., Citation2021). We operate the Caputo fractional derivative in system Equation(7). We obtain new model in terms of Caputo sense: (39) C0DtφS=S[r(1S+Ig)βE],C0DtφI=βSEνIaIPm+I,C0DtφE=ϵIϱE,C0DtφP=P(d+bIm+I).(39)

First, assume we have the non-integer differential equation below: (40) {C0DtφX(t)=F(t,X(t)),X(0)=X0.(40)

Integrate Equationequation (40) using fractional integrals (41) X(t)X(0)=1Γ(φ)0tF(u,X(u))(tu)φ1du,(41) when t=te+1,e=0,1,2, in Equationequation (41), then we get (42) X(te+1)X(0)=1Γ(φ)0te+1F(u,X(u))(te+1u)φ1du,=1Γ(φ)q=0e0te+1F(u,X(u))(te+1u)φ1du.(42)

We are estimated the function F(u,X(u)) with the help of the two-step Lagrange polynomial interpolation over the closed interval [tq,tq+1] and we also use the polynomial interpolation concept. Thus (43) Lq(u)F(tq,Xq)h(utq1)F(tq1,Xq1)h(utq).(43)

With help of Equationequations (42) and Equation(43), we get (44) Xe+1(t)=X0+1Γ(φ)q=0e(F(tq,Xq)htqtq+1(ttq1)(tq+1t)φ1dtF(tq1,Xq1)htqtq+1(ttq)(tq+1t)φ1dt).(44)

Toward simplifying the Equationequation (44), we defined the undermentioned equations (45) Aφ,q,1=hφ+1(e+1q)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)φ(φ+1),(45) (46) Aφ,q,2=hφ+1(e+1q)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)φ(φ+1).(46)

The approximate solution of Equationequation (44) is obtain with help of Equationequations (45) and Equation(46), then we get (47) Xe+1(t)=X0+1Γ(φ)q=0e(hφF(tq,Xq)φ(φ+1)×{(e+1q)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF(tq1,Xq1)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}),(47) the numerical solution for proposed model are given as (48) Se+1(t)=S(0)+1Γ(φ)q=0e(hφF1(tq,Sq,Iq,Eq,Pq)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF1(tq1,Sq1,Iq1,Eq1,Pq1)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}),(48) (49) Ie+1(t)=I(0)+1Γ(φ)q=0e(hφF2(tq,Sq,Iq,Eq,Pq)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF2(tq1,Sq1,Iq1,Eq1,Pq1)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}),(49) (50) Ee+1(t)=E(0)+1Γ(φ)q=0e(hφF3(tq,Sq,Iq,Eq,Pq)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF3(tq1,Sq1,Iq1,Eq1,Pq1)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}),(50) (51) Pe+1(t)=P(0)+1Γ(φ)q=0e(hφF4(tq,Sq,Iq,Eq,Pq)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF4(tq1,Sq1,Iq1,Eq1,Pq1)φ(φ+1){(e+1q)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}),(51) where F1(t,S,I,E,P)=S[r(1S+Ig)βE],F2(t,S,I,E,P)=βSEνIaIPm+I,F3(t,S,I,E,P)=ϵIϱE,F4(t,S,I,E,P)=P(d+bIm+I).

7. Toufik-Atangana (TA) numerical scheme for eco-epidemiological model with ABC-operator

Fractional derivative with the biological model is very complicated work to find solutions because of their nonlinearity (Atangana & Baleanu, Citation2016). So many numerical methods are used for the solution of the fractional biological model. We present the complete details of this method how to developed the method with the help of the Lagrange interpolation polynomial of two-step (Kumar, Kumar, & Jleli, Citation2020; Toufik & Atangana, Citation2017). We apply this method and find the approximate solution of the eco-epidemiological model. First, we assume the non-integer differential equation as follows: (52) {ABC0DtφX(t)=F(t,X(t)),X(0)=X0.(52)

Apply the Atangana-Baleanu integral operator on Equationequation (52), then we have: (53) X(t)X(0)=1φB(φ)F(t,X(t))+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0tF(u,X(u))(tu)φ1du,(53) when t=te+1 = (e+1)h, we have (54) X(te+1)X(0)=1φB(φ)F(te,X(te))+φB(φ)Γ(φ)0te+1F(u,X(u))(te+1u)φ1du,=1φB(φ)F(te,X(te))+φB(φ)Γ(φ)q=0etqtq+1F(u,X(u))(te+1u)φ1du.(54)

We are estimated the function F(u,X(u)) with the help of the Lagrange polynomial over the closed interval [tq,tq+1] and we also use the polynomial interpolation concept (Alzahrani, El-Dessoky, & Baleanu, Citation2021; Toufik & Atangana, Citation2017). Thus, (55) H(u,F(u))L̂(u)=F(tq,X(tq))h(utq1)F(tq1,X(tq1))h(utq).(55)

Now, we simplify Equationequation (54) with the help of Equationequation (55), we get (56) X(te+1)=X(0)+1φB(φ)F(te,X(te))+φB(φ)Γ(φ)q=0e(F(tq,X(tq))htqtq+1(utq1)(te+1u)φ1duF(tq1,X(tq1))htqtq+1(utq)(te+1u)φ1du).(56)

We simplifying the Equationequation (56), we get (57) X(te+1)=X(t0)+1φB(φ)F(te,X(te))+φB(φ)q=0e(hφF(tq,X(tq))Γ(φ+2)×{(eq+1)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF(tq1,X(tq1))Γ(φ+2){(eq+1)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}).(57)

We apply the above scheme (Alzahrani et al., Citation2021) on the system Equation(9), then we find S(te+1)=S(t0)+1φB(φ)F1(te,X(te))+φB(φ)q=0e(hφF1(tq,X(tq))Γ(φ+2)×{(eq+1)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF1(tq1,X(tq1))Γ(φ+2){(eq+1)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}),I(te+1)=I(t0)+1φB(φ)F2(te,X(te))+φB(φ)q=0e(hφF2(tq,X(tq))Γ(φ+2)×{(eq+1)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF2(tq1,X(tq1))Γ(φ+2){(eq+1)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}), (58) E(te+1)=E(t0)+1φB(φ)F3(te,X(te))+φB(φ)q=0e(hφF3(tq,X(tq))Γ(φ+2)×{(eq+1)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF3(tq1,X(tq1))Γ(φ+2){(eq+1)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}),P(te+1)=P(t0)+1φB(φ)F4(te,X(te))+φB(φ)q=0e(hφF4(tq,X(tq))Γ(φ+2)×{(eq+1)φ(eq+2+φ)(eq)φ(eq+2+2φ)}hφF4(tq1,X(tq1))Γ(φ+2){(eq+1)φ+1(eq)φ(eq+1+φ)}).(58)

8. Numerical results and graphical analysis

Here, we present a new numerical technique with Caputo and ABC non-integer operators to simulate the non-linear fractional eco-epidemiological model. Throughout this simulation, we display graphic results for different fractional orders and infection rates. Monitoring and controlling the infection rate is crucial for determining the system’s behavior and operation. I followed the instructions and accomplished the task of the numerical scheme detailed in section 7. Simulations have been conducted using version R2016a (MATLAB 9.0) of MATLAB (The MathWorks Inc, Citation2016) to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. We used MATLAB-9 to analyse numerical results for different fractional orders and time durations. Through the simulations, we can observe how changes in the parameters and initial conditions impact the model’s predictions. It gave me a better understanding of the model’s dynamics and allowed me to conduct a more comprehensive analysis. The graphical results from the fractional order analysis were more informative and generalized than other relative works. Model parameters used for the simulation are as follows r=4.6667,ν=1.5,m=1,a=1,g=7,ϵ=1,d=0.5,ϱ=1,b=1,

S(0) =1/3, I(0) =1, E(0) =1 and P(0) =1/3 are our initial values of proposed system.

In epidemiological modeling, infection rates provide a crucial insight into the dynamic of the system. Thus, we have taken the different infection rates and order of the derivative to observe different behaviors of the PP model. Based on classical models φ=1 and β = 2, the system exhibits stable behavior in and . and depict the three-dimensional and two-dimensional stable phase portrait representation of Caputo eco-epidemiological model Equation(8) when the order of the derivative is φ=1 and β = 2. Furthermore, in and , if we change the value of the fractional order (φ=0.99) of the epidemiological model, it is quickly stable compared to the previous classical model. Also, and depict the three-dimensional and two-dimensional stable phase portrait representation of Atangana-Baleanu (AB) eco-epidemiological model Equation(9) when the order of the derivative is φ=0.99 and β = 2. When the orders of fractional derivatives are different, φ=1,0.99,0.97,0.95,0.93. illustrate the dynamic nature and complexity of the eco-epidemiological Equation(8) based on the Caputo Toufic-Atangana (TA) Scheme and we observe that if we decrease the order of the derivative, the model quickly goes to the stable stage. During the simulation, we noticed that the susceptible animal population appeared to be fluctuating at different rates for different values of φ, and eventually reached a stable equilibrium state. The infected population, on the other hand, showed a rapid increase and then a decrease, followed by a gradual decline for varying fractional orders. The amount of infectious material in the environment also followed a similar pattern, rising quickly and then gradually falling over time, with different paths for different fractional orders. Lastly, the predator density showed a rapid decrease and then a gradual decline, eventually stabilizing towards the end of the simulation period. show the comparative results relating to the eco-epidemiological model of Caputo and Atangana-Baleanu (AB) with β=2.5 and φ=1. We have examined the graphs and observed that when φ=1, the Caputo and AB derivatives models yield the same results with identical parameter values and initial conditions. However, for fractional orders, the proposed fractional models display different paths. We have also noticed significant deviations in the efficacy of both the Caputo and AB models when using the same parameter values, which is caused by the memory properties of the kernels involved in describing the fractional operators. depict the phase diagram for eco-epidemiological model Equation(8) with φ=1 and various β=2,2.07,2.5 respectively by Caputo Toufik-Atangana (TA) scheme. In the proposed model, it is essential to note that β is a sensitive parameter. Even a slight change in this parameter has a drastic impact on the behaviour of the system. Further, we have analysed the variation of parameter values with the state variable of the proposed model. represent the bifurcation diagram of the considered eco-epidemiological model for analysed the complex behaviour and stability analysis. Based on the findings, it has become apparent that the Caputo and AB approach is the most significant and reliable method for explaining physical processes, compared to the regular fractional and classical-order cases.

9. Conclusion

In this article, we have analyzed the eco-epidemic model that explains the spread of this disease within an animal community and how the environment influences this model. We have converted the eco-epidemiological CWD integer order model presented into a fractional order model. With the aid of fixed-point theory, we have proven the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the proposed model under certain conditions. We have investigated the stability of all equilibrium points of the non-integer eco-epidemiological CWD model with the help of Matignon’s condition. With the support of the Lagrange interpolation polynomial of two steps, we have used two novel numerical methods for locating the approximate solution. We have examined the behaviour of the proposed model by bifurcation plots for various parameter values. Finally, we have compared the Atangana-Baleanu and Caputo solutions of the eco-epidemiological CWD model, the graphical results give better information about the model and its solutions. Our study’s findings play a crucial role in improving the accuracy of the CWD model and developing effective strategies. In future work, we can employ other non-integer order operators and more effective numerical techniques for this model to learn more about the behaviour of the CWD model. These efforts will undoubtedly advance our understanding of this disease and help us combat it more effectively.
