Utilizing fractional-order operator to Alzheimer’s disease dynamics
摘要
Fractional derivative modeling has become an important tool for studying and forecasting disease transmission dynamics. We propose a new mathematical model for Alzheimer’s disease, a condition in which dying and malfunctioning neurons impair memory. The model has a five-dimensional set of nonlinear fractional differential equations for microglia, amyloid-beta, tau protein, infected neurons, and functioning neurons. To further understand the dynamics of the proposed model, we demonstrated the solutions’ existence, uniqueness, positivity, and feasible domain. We used the next-generation technique to calculate the fundamental reproduction number
