A SIMPLE MATHEMATICAL MODEL THROUGH FRACTIONAL-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION FOR PATHOGENIC INFECTION

The model in this study, examined the time-dependent changes in the population sizes of pathogen-immune system, is presented mathematically by fractional-order differential equations (FODEs) system. Qualitative analysis of the model was examined according to the parameters used in the model. The proposed system has always namely free-infection equilibrium point and the positive equilibrium point exists when specific conditions dependent on parameters are met, According to the threshold parameter R_0, it is founded the stability conditions of these equilibrium points. Also, the qualitative analysis was supported by numerical simulations.
