Analysis of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCOV) system with variable Caputo-Fabrizio fractional order.

The main aim of this study is to present a new variable fractional-order derivatives for novel coronavirus (2019-nCOV) system with the variable Caputo-Fabrizio in Caputo sense. By using the fixed point theory, we explore the new existence and uniqueness results of the solution for the proposed 2019-nCOV system. The existence result is obtained with the aid of the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem while the uniqueness of the solution has been investigated by utilizing the Banach fixed point theorem. Furthermore, we study the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability as well as the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability and also discuss some more interesting results for the proposed system.

Introduction

Fractional calculus (FC) is a powerful tool discovered in 1695 when Leibniz investigated the derivative of arbitrary order. Many researcher have been studied the application of the fractional derivative and fractional differential equations (FDEs). There are some mathematicians firstly define the fractional derivative, such as Liouville, Grunwald, Letnikov, Riemann, and Caputo. Vital physical, real-world problems phenomena are well presented by FDEs, namely, acoustics, viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, electromagnetics, material science. The Complex system is describing by FC due to its applications [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [23], [24], [25].

In the city of china Wuhan, many researchers investigate that a variety of critical dynamical problems exhibit fractional-order behavior that may vary with time/space. This phenomenon introduced that variable-order fractional calculus (VO-FC) is a nature to give an effective and more powerful mathematical framework to present the complex problems. The VO fractional derivative is an extension of the standard/arbitrary derivative. It is not stable for characterizing phenomena, for example, when the diffusion process evolves in a porous medium or the external field changes with time. So, the VO fractional diffusion models have been used to study many complex physical problems ranging from science and engineering fields. The applications of the VO fractional derivative in processing of geographical data, signature verification, viscoelasticity, diffusion processes [6], [7].

In Wuhan, where was the first time identified, the virus is known as novel corona virus in short COVID-19. It has been declared an epidemic virus because of its nature. In investigations, the researcher found that virus has been transmitted between peoples and animals. The initial symptoms of this infection are fever, cough, and breathing difficulties and next steps, several acute respiratory syndromes, the infection can cause pneumonia, kidney failure, and even death. Researchers are motivated to study the situation and establish concllusions, and based on the current seniority of the crucial time to analyze the virus through mathematical modeling. Many researchers developed the mathematical models for the virus with different situations/conditions and found several models to describe the corresponding situations. The system of ordinary differential equations describes the developed mathematical model for the COVID-19. In the previous work, the authors converted this model into the system of fractional differential equations for more upgrade versions of the odinary order models for more obatin informations of the models. However, in this scenario, this virus is getting more and more attention in the current era. Many researchers are focused on finding the virus’s behavior with various conditions and are also interested in obtaining the saturation stage of the virus [8], [9], [10], [11]. In present work, we use variable fractional operators for more effective results getting from the COVID-19 proposed model.

In [12], [13], [14], [15], discussed the exact and approximate solutions by using different numerical methods for various types of fractional differential equations (FDEs). They also described the error and convergence analysis. The adopted methods are helpful to obtain the analytical-approximate solution for FDEs. The existence and uniqueness of the fractional-order solution are discussed for the 2019-nCOV models to obtain the batter results compared to ordinary order 2019-nCOV models. For finding the results, many authors had utilized the fixed point theory as a reliable tool. This affirmative approach confirms the existence and uniqueness of the 2019-nCOV models with fractional order. Also, for differential equations, the stability analysis is an important aspect. From several types of stability theory generated in the literature, Ulam-Hyers type stability is one of the most used and interesting types. The Ulam-Hyers-Rassiass stability is a generalized version of the Ulam-Hyers stability. For more general work, we use the Ulam-Hyers-Rassiass stability [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]. Motivation from this work, we also inspired to obtain existence, uniqueness, and stability using the fixed point theory and the Ulam-Hyers stabilities for more generalized 2019-nCOV models such as the 2019-nCOV model involve variable fractional order using a non-singular derivative. Here, we adopt the definition for variable factional is known as the variable Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative involve the non-singular kernel with Caputo derivative. Michele Caputo and Mauro Fabrizio discuss a fractional derivative operator in 2015 based on the non-sigular kernel and exponential function to overcome the singular kernel’s problems. Their fractional derivative operators does not have a singular kernel. They have demonstrated that their derivative operator was suitable for the solution of complex physical problems. Due to non-singular kernel, the derivative provides most appropriate results for modeling of real-world problems [21], [22].

This discussion aims to investigate the more generalized framework for the proposed 2019-nCOV system with the variable fractional order using non-singular kernel derivative and study an analysis of the generalized 2019-nCOV system. In the analysis, we establish the new results for the existence and uniqueness of a solution with stability analysis. Additionally, the work is to find out the existence of the position solutions, maximal/minimal solutions for the proposed generalized 2019-nCOV system. This work investigates more reliable and suitable model for a novel coronavirus in real-world problems using VO fractional operators. The order of the model extended as variable fractional order in which we replace integer order with bounded and continuous functions, replacing the different types function as the order of the model, which describes several roles of this virus on our daily life. We find a new reliable model that will be more accurate and useful to analyze the virus. It is well Known that the fractional-order is a particular case of variable fractional order, so the fractional-order 2019-nCOV system is also a specific case of the variable fractional order (VFO) 2019-nCOV system. Our proposed VFO 2019-nCOV system provides a more realistic/suitable situations in the current stage of the virus. The analysis of the proposed VFO system is also interesting to identify the existence, uniqueness of the solution, stability analysis is also required aspect, there exist any positive and maximal/minimal solutions of the proposed model. These all points promote the VFO model as well as suitability on the virus to present the situations that happened through this virus. Before obtaining the numerical solutions, this analysis is important to improve further works for the proposed VFO 2019-nCOV system.

The rest of this paper is structured in the following way. Section 2, we present some fundamental results about variable Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative and useful theorems, lemmas. In Section 3, introduces the classical model of the 2019-nCOV system. We describe the proposed 2019-nCOV system with variable Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative in Section 4. We obtain the new results existence, uniqueness, stability, and some important theorems for the generalized variable fractional 2019-nCOV system in Section 5, the manuscript is finished by concluding remarks in Section 6.
