Dynamical analysis of a novel fractional order SIDARTHE epidemic model of COVID-19 with the Caputo–Fabrizio(CF) derivative

Abstract

Fabrizio and Caputo suggested an extraordinary definition of fractional derivative, which has been used in many fields. The SIDARTHE infectious disease model with regard to COVID-19 is studied by the new notion in this paper. Making use of the Banach fixed point theorem, the existence and uniqueness of the model’s solution are demonstrated. Then, an efficient method is utilized to deduce the iterative scheme. Finally, some numerical simulations of the model under various fractional orders and parameters are shown. From the computed result, we can see that it not only supports the theoretical demonstration, but also has an intensive insight into the characteristics of the model.
