Bangladesh is one of the largest tobacco users in the world being troubled by smoking related issues. In this paper we consider a compartmental mathematical model of smoking in which the population is divided into five compartments: susceptible, expose, smokers, temporary quitters and permanent quitters described by ordinary differential equations. We study by including the conversion rate from light smoker to permanent quit smokers. The basic reproduction number R0 has been derived and then we found two euilibria of the model one of them is smoking-free and other of them is smoking-present. We establish the positivity, boundedness of the solutions and perform stability analysis of the model. To decrease the smoking propensity in Bangladesh we perform numerical simulation for various estimations of parameters which offer understanding to give up smoking and how they influence the smoker and exposed class. This model gives us legitimate thought regarding the explanations for the spread of smoking in Bangladesh.

This study aims to determine the dynamics of taxpayer compliance from time to time by using a mathematical model. This study uses two analysis tools, namely differential equations, to create a model of taxpayer compliance and Moderated Regression Analysis to determine the effect of moderating government control on increasing taxpayer compliance. This study indicates that government control can reduce the number of non-compliant taxpayers by looking at the sensitivity index. The results of the sensitivity index of government control parameters can reduce the basic reproduction number. Statistically, it is also proven that the moderation of government control can strengthen the effect of awareness on taxpayer compliance by 82.5%.

Abstract This research discussed the mathematical model of smoking behavior. The model will be analogous to an epidemic model which will be divided into several compartments/groups. This research aimed to explain the formation of a mathematical model of smoking behavior, to investigate the equilibrium point, the value of the basic reproduction number, to analyze the stability of the model, then to determine and interpret the numerical solutions using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. By the results of this research, a mathematical model of smoking behavior which consists of three compartments, namely the population of non-smokers, smokers and ex-smokers, was obtained. Based on the model formed the smoke-free equilibrium point and the smoker equilibrium point, then the basic reproduction number was also obtained using the next generation matrix. Furthermore, the result of the stability analysis of the smoker-free population was asymptotically stable provided that the basic reproduction number is less than one, while the population was asymptotically stable provided that the basic reproduction number is greater than one. The simulation of the model was presented to support the explanation of the stability analysis of the model using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method based on the parameters that met the requirements of the stability analysis.

The increase in the number of computer viruses can be modeled with a mathematical model of the spread of SEIR type of diseases with immunity probability. This study aims to model the pattern of the spread of computer viruses. The method used in this research is the analytical method with the probability of mathematical immunity. Based on the analysis of the model, two equilibrium points free from disease E1 and endemic equilibrium points E2 were obtained. The existence and local stability of the equilibrium point depends on the basic reproduction number R0. Equilibrium points E1 and E2 tend to be locally stable because R0<1 which means there is no spread of disease. While the numerical simulation results shown that the size of the probability of immunity will affect compartment R and the minimum size of a new computer and the spread of computer viruses will affect compartments S and E on the graph of the simulation results. The conclusion obtained by the immune model SEIR successfully shows that increasing the probability of immunity significantly affects the increase in the number of computer hygiene after being exposed to a virus.

Abstract Objective Several essential factors have played a crucial role in the spreading mechanism of COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) in the human population. These factors include undetected cases, asymptomatic cases, and several non-pharmaceutical interventions. Because of the rapid spread of COVID-19 worldwide, understanding the significance of these factors is crucial in determining whether COVID-19 will be eradicated or persist in the population. Hence, in this study, we establish a new mathematical model to predict the spread of COVID-19 considering mentioned factors. Results Infection detection and vaccination have the potential to eradicate COVID-19 from Jakarta. From the sensitivity analysis, we find that rapid testing is crucial in reducing the basic reproduction number when COVID-19 is endemic in the population rather than contact trace. Furthermore, our results indicate that a vaccination strategy has the potential to relax social distancing rules, while maintaining the basic reproduction number at the minimum possible, and also eradicate COVID-19 from the population with a higher vaccination rate. In conclusion, our model proposed a mathematical model that can be used by Jakarta’s government to relax social distancing policy by relying on future COVID-19 vaccine potential.

AbstractIn this paper, we have mathematically analyzed a within-host model of SARS-CoV-2 which is used by Li et al. in the paper “The within-host viral kinetics of SARS-CoV-2” published in (Math. Biosci. Eng. 17(4):2853–2861, 2020). Important properties of the model, like nonnegativity of solutions and their boundedness, are established. Also, we have calculated the basic reproduction number which is an important parameter in the infection models. From stability analysis of the model, it is found that stability of the biologically feasible steady states are determined by the basic reproduction number $(\chi _{0})$ ( χ 0 ) . Numerical simulations are done in order to substantiate analytical results. A biological implication from this study is that a COVID-19 patient with less than one basic reproduction ratio can automatically recover from the infection.

In this study, we analyzed the endemic equilibrium point of a malaria-hygiene mathematical model. We prove that the mathematical model is biological and meaningfully well-posed. We also compute the basic reproduction number using the next generation method. Stability analysis of the endemic equilibrium point show that the point is locally stable if reproduction number is greater that unity and globally stable by the Lasalle’s invariant principle. Numerical simulation to show the dynamics of the compartment at various hygiene rate was carried out.

In this paper, an Immunity-Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovery (MSEIR) mathematical model was used to study the dynamics of measles transmission. We discussed that there exist a disease-free and an endemic equilibria. We also discussed the stability of both disease-free and endemic equilibria.  The basic reproduction number  is obtained. If , then the measles will spread and persist in the population. If , then the disease will die out.  The disease was locally asymptotically stable if  and unstable if  . ALSO, WE PROVED THE GLOBAL STABILITY FOR THE DISEASE-FREE EQUILIBRIUM USING LASSALLE'S INVARIANCE PRINCIPLE OF Lyaponuv function. Furthermore, the endemic equilibrium was locally asymptotically stable if , under certain conditions. Numerical simulations were conducted to confirm our analytic results. Our findings were that, increasing the birth rate of humans, decreasing the progression rate, increasing the recovery rate and reducing the infectious rate can be useful in controlling and combating the measles.

In this paper, mathematical analysis is carried out for a mathematical model of Tuberculosis (TB) with age-dependent latency and active infection. The model divides latent TB infection into two stages: an early stage of high risk of developing active TB and a late stage of lower risk for developing active TB. Infected persons initially progress through the early latent TB stage and then can either progress to active TB infection or progress to late latent TB infection. The model is formulated by incorporating the duration that an individual has spent in the stages of the early latent TB, the late latent TB and the active TB infection as variables. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals and using LaSalle’s invariance principle, it is shown that the global dynamics of the disease is completely determined by the basic reproduction number: if the basic reproduction number is less than unity, the TB always dies out; if the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, a unique endemic steady state exists and is globally asymptotically stable in the interior of the feasible region and therefore the TB becomes endemic. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results.

Brucellosis is one of the major infectious diseases in China. In this study, we consider an SI model of animal brucellosis with transport. The basic reproduction number ℛ0 is obtained, and the stable state of the equilibria is analyzed. Numerical simulation shows that different initial values have a great influence on results of the model. In addition, the sensitivity analysis of ℛ0 with respect to different parameters is analyzed. The results reveal that the transport has dual effects. Specifically, transport can lead to increase in the number of infected animals; besides, transport can also reduce the number of infected animals in a certain range. The analysis shows that the number of infected animals can be controlled if animals are transported reasonably.
