Mathematical assessment of the dynamics of the tobacco smoking model: An application of fractional theory

In this paper we consider fractional-order mathematical model describing the spread of the smoking model in the sense of Caputo operator with tobacco in the form of snuffing. The threshold quantity R₀ and equilibria of the model are determined. We prove the existence of the solution via fixed-point theory and further examine the uniqueness of of the solution of the considered model. The new version of numerical approximation’s framework for the approximation of Caputo operator is used. Finally, the numerical results are presented to justify the significance of the arbitrary fractional order derivative. The analysis shows fractional-order model of tobacco smoking in Caputo sense gives useful information as compared to the classical integer order tobacco smoking model.
