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 Simple SEIR Mathematical Model of Malaria Transmission
We have studied an SEIR mathematical model, and applied it to malaria transmission. We discussed the existence and stability of the Disease-Free (DFE) and Endemic Equilibria (EE) of both models. The (DFE) was locally asy...
On Caristi-Type Fixed Point Theorem in Cone Metric Space and Application
The aim of this paper is to generalize Caristi's fixed point theorem. For that we extend the Szaz maximum principle in normed space and, we introduce a new class of functions which generalize the notion of dominated func...
Hypothesis Testing for Fractional Stochastic Partial Di erential Equations with Applications to Neurophysiology and Finance
The paper obtains explicit form of fine large deviation theorems for the log-likelihood ratio in testing fractional stochastic partial differential equation models using a finite number of Fourier coefficients of the sol...
Effect of Vertical Magnetic Field on the Onset of Double Diffusive Convection in a Horizontal Porous Layer with Concentration Based Internal Heat Source
This study considers the effects of concentration based internal heat and vertical magnetic field on the onset of double diffusive convection in a horizontal porous layer using normal mode analysis. The normal mode analy...
On the Operation of Division by Zero in Bhaskara's Framework: Survey, Criticisms, Modi cations and Justi cations
Brahmagupta introduced zero into the genus of real numbers and discussed operations involving it. Of these the operation of division by zero has caused a lot of disputes among mathematicians. The ultimate aim of this wor...
