Analysis of a Modified System of Infectious Disease in a Closed and Convex Subset of a Function Space with Numerical Study.

In this article, the transmission dynamical model of the deadly infectious disease namedEbola is investigated. This disease identified in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sudan(now South Sudan) and was identified in 1976. The novelty of the model under discussion is theinclusion of advection and diffusion in each compartmental equation. The addition of these two termsmakes the model more general. Similar to a simple population dynamic system, the prescribed modelalso has two equilibrium points and an important threshold, known as the basic reproductive number.The current work comprises the existence and uniqueness of the solution, the numerical analysis ofthe model, and finally, the graphical simulations. In the section on the existence and uniqueness ofthe solutions, the optimal existence is assessed in a closed and convex subset of function space. Forthe numerical study, a nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme is adopted to approximate thesolution of the continuous mathematical model. The main reason for the adoption of this technique isdelineated in the form of the positivity of the state variables, which is necessary for any populationmodel. The positivity of the applied scheme is verified by the concept of M-matrices. Since thenumerical method gives a discrete system of difference equations corresponding to a continuoussystem, some other relevant properties are also needed to describe it. In this respect, the consistencyand stability of the designed technique are corroborated by using Taylor's series expansion and Von Neumann's stability criteria, respectively. To authenticate the proposed NSFD method, two other illustrious techniques are applied for the sake of comparison. In the end, numerical simulations are also performed that show the efficiency of the prescribed technique, while the existing techniques fail to do so.
