A Fractional-Order SEQAIR Model to Control the Transmission of nCOVID 19

Abstract

The ensuing paper expounds a new mathematical model for a pandemic instigated by novel coronavirus (COVID-19) with influence of quarantine on transmission of COVID-19, using Caputo fractional-order derivative for various fractional order. Basic reproduction number for the SEQAIR model has been calculated in the study and additionally proving the existence and uniqueness of the solution using the fixed-point theorem. Furthermore, numerical solution is revealed using the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method, and its application for real-world data is deliberated.
