Sensitivity Analysis of Ebola Virus Model
Journal Title: Asian Research Journal of Mathematics - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
A Mathematical model of is presented to study the dynamical spread of Ebola in the population. Existence of the Local Stability of the disease–free equilibrium (DFE) was investigated via the threshold parameter (Reproduction number ) obtained using the next generation matrix technique. The result shows that the DFE is asymptotically stable at Reproduction number less than unity . Reasonable sets of values for the parameter in the model were compiled from existing literatures and Sensitivity analysis indices around the baseline parameter value were computed, which shows that the most sensitive parameter to is the recruitment rate followed by the rate at which exposed individuals are isolated due to contact tracing . Furthermore, the numerical computation of gave a value of 0.16, and numerical simulation was obtained which illustrates the effect of control parameters on the various compartments of the model.

A Note on the Oscillatory Nature of Lienard Equation
In this paper we consider the problem about the conditions on f(x), g(x) and a(t) to ensure that all solutions of (1) are continuable and oscillatory using non usual assumptions.
The General Subclasses of the Analytic Functions and Their Various Properties
The object of the present paper is to introduce and investigate two new general subclasses S* C(α, β; γ) and TS* C(α, β; γ) (α, β ∈ [0,1), γ ∈ [0, 1]) of the analytic functions. Here, we givesucient conditions as well as...

Proportiones Perfectus Law and the Physics of the Golden Section
The proportiones perfectus law is introduced. Let σ_x^y=(x+√(x^2+4y))/2 . By definition, in the spectrum 1≤y≤x, x≥1, σ_x^y is a proportione perfectus. With σ_x^y so defined, for an arbitrary positive integer h_1 it is sh...
