Solver for COVID-19 epidemic model with the Caputo fractional derivatives

MODERATOR NOTE: coronavirus resources & updates: https://wolfr.am/coronavirus


First version of this code been published on https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/221609/solver-for-covid-19-epidemic-model-with-the-caputo-fractional-derivatives

As it is known in biological system with memory it would be suitable to use fractional derivatives to describe evolution of the system. In a current version of Mathematica 12.1 there is no special solver for integrodifferential equations. Here we show solver with using Haar wavelets for dynamic system (3) presented in a paper M.A. Khan, A. Atangana, Modeling the dynamics of novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) with fractional derivative, Alexandria Eng. J. (2020)
Figure 1

with differential operator replaced with the Caputo definition for fractional derivative as follows $$\frac {d f}{dt}\rightarrow \frac {1}{\Gamma (1-q)}\int_0^t{\frac{f'(x)dx}{(t-x)^{q}}}$$ The code below allows us to reproduce Figure 7 from the paper linked above. Let define functions

h[x_, k_, m_] := WaveletPsi[HaarWavelet[], m x - k];
h1[x_] := WaveletPhi[HaarWavelet[], x];

Then we can calculate integrals

Integrate[h[t, k, m], {t, 0, x}, Assumptions -> {k >= 0, m > 0, x > 0}]

Integrate[h1[t], {t, 0, x}, Assumptions -> {x > 0}]

Integrate[h[x, k, m]/(t - x)^q, {x, 0, t}, 
 Assumptions -> {t > 0, k >= 0, m > 0, q < 1}]

Integrate[h1[x]/(t - x)^q, {x, 0, t}, Assumptions -> {t > 0, q < 1}]

With these integrals let define functions

p[x_, k_, m_] := Piecewise[{{(1 + k - m*x)/m, k >= 0 && 1/m + (2*k)/m - 2*x < 0 && 
      1/m + k/m - x >= 0 && m > 0}, {(-k + m*x)/m, k >= 0 && 1/m + (2*k)/m - 2*x >= 0 && 
      k/m - x < 0 && 1/m + k/m - x >= 0 && m > 0}}, 0]

Now we have all functions to solve a problem with the given parametres

 Np0 = 8266000; 
  μp (*Natural mortality rate*)= 
  1/(76.79 365); Πp (*Birth rate*)= μp Np0 ; ηp \
(*Contact rate*)= 0.05; ψ (*Transmissibility multiple*) = 
  0.02; ηw (*Disease transmission coefficient*)= 
  0.000001231; θp (*The proportion of asymptomatic \
infection*)= 0.1243; ωp (*Incubation period*)= 
  0.00047876;  ρp (*Incubation period*)= 
  0.005;  τp (*Removal or recovery rate of Ip*)= 
  0.09871;  τap (*Removal or recovery rate of Ap *)= 
  0.854302; ϱp (*Contribution of the virus to M by Ip*)= 
  0.000398; ϖp (*Contribution of the virus to M by Ap*) = 
  0.001; πp(*Removing rate of virus from M*) = 0.01;

Let define variables

var1 = {Sp1, Ep1, Ip1, Ap1, Rp1, Mp1}; 
var = {Sp, Ep, Ip, Ap, Rp, Mp}; aco = {aS, aE, aI, aA, aR, aM}; 
aco1 = {aS1, aE1, aI1, aA1, aR1, aM1}; 
aco0 = {aS0, aE0, aI0, aA0, aR0, aM0};

The problem can be solved on the unit interval, hence we calculate the collocation points as follows

 J = 4; M = 2^J; dx = 1/(2*M);  A = 0; xl = Table[A + l dx, {l, 0, 2 M}]; 
 xcol = Table[(xl[[l - 1]] + xl[[l]])/2, {l, 2, 2 M + 1}];

We can represent our solution with functions defined above as

Sp1[x_, q_] := 
Sum[aS[i, j] pc[x, i, 2^j, q], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aS1 pc1[x, q]; 
Sp[x_] := 
Sum[aS[i, j] p[x, i, 2^j], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aS1 p1[x] + aS0; 
Ep1[x_, q_] := 
Sum[aE[i, j] pc[x, i, 2^j, q], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aE1 pc1[x, q]; 
Ep[x_] := 
Sum[aE[i, j] p[x, i, 2^j], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aE1 p1[x] + aE0; 
Ip1[x_, q_] := 
Sum[aI[i, j] pc[x, i, 2^j, q], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aI1 pc1[x, q]; 
Ip[x_] := 
Sum[aI[i, j] p[x, i, 2^j], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aI1 p1[x] + aI0; 
Ap1[x_, q_] := 
Sum[aA[i, j] pc[x, i, 2^j, q], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aA1 pc1[x, q]; 
Ap[x_] := 
Sum[aA[i, j] p[x, i, 2^j], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aA1 p1[x] + aA0; 
Rp1[x_, q_] := 
Sum[aR[i, j] pc[x, i, 2^j, q], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aR1 pc1[x, q]; 
Rp[x_] := 
Sum[aR[i, j] p[x, i, 2^j], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aR1 p1[x] + aR0; 
Mp1[x_, q_] := 
Sum[aM[i, j] pc[x, i, 2^j, q], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aM1 pc1[x, q]; 
Mp[x_] := 
Sum[aM[i, j] p[x, i, 2^j], {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}] + 
aM1 p1[x] + aM0;  

All unknown variables should be joined together in one list

 varM = Join[aco0, aco1, 
   Flatten[Table[{aS[i, j], aE[i, j], aI[i, j], aA[i, j], aR[i, j], 
      aM[i, j]}, {j, 0, J, 1}, {i, 0, 2^j - 1, 1}]]];

Now we are ready to solve the problem. Since we solve system of equations on the unit interval we define scaling function (120 is the length of interval time in days)

  tn[q_]:= (1/120)^q;
 eq1[t_, q_] := -tn[q]/Gamma[1 - q] Sp1[t, q] + Πp/
    Np0 - μp Sp[t] - ηp Sp[
     t] (Ip[t] + ψ Ap[t])/(Sp[t] + Ep[t] + Ip[t] + Ap[t] + 
       Rp[t]) - Np0 ηw Sp[t] Mp[t]; 
 eq2[t_, q_] := -tn[q]/Gamma[1 - q] Ep1[t, q] + ηp  Sp[
     t] (Ip[t] + ψ Ap[t])/(Sp[t] + Ep[t] + Ip[t] + Ap[t] + 
       Rp[t]) + 
   Np0 ηw Sp[t] Mp[t] - (1 - θp) ωp Ep[
     t] - θp ρp Ep[t] - μp Ep[t];
 eq3[t_, q_] := -tn[q]/Gamma[1 - q] Ip1[
     t, q] + (1 - θp) ωp Ep[t] - (τp + μp) Ip[t]; 
 eq4[t_, q_] := -tn[q]/Gamma[1 - q] Ap1[t, q] + θp ρp Ep[
     t] - (τap + μp) Ap[t]; 
 eq5[t_, q_] := -tn[q]/Gamma[1 - q] Rp1[t, q] + τp Ip[
     t] + τap Ap[t] - μp Rp[t]; 
 eq6[t_, q_] := -tn[q]/Gamma[1 - q] Mp1[t, q] + ϱp Ip[
     t] + ϖp Ap[t] - πp Mp[t];

With these equations we can calculate Figure 6 from the paper above with the next piece of code

 eq[q_] := 
  Flatten[ParallelTable[{eq1[t, q] == 0, eq2[t, q] == 0, 
     eq3[t, q] == 0, eq4[t, q] == 0, eq5[t, q] == 0, 
     eq6[t, q] == 0}, {t, xcol}]];
 Do[icv[i] = {Sp[0] == 8065518/Np0, Ep[0] == 200000/Np0, 
    Ip[0] == 282/Np0, Ap[0] == 200/Np0, Rp[0] == 0, 
    Mp[0] == 50000/Np0};
  eqM[i] = Join[eq[i], icv[i]];
  solv[i] = 
   FindRoot[eqM[i], Table[{varM[[j]], .1}, {j, Length[varM]}], 
    MaxIterations -> 1000];
  lstSv[i] = 
   Table[{x 120 , Np0 Evaluate[Sp[x] /. solv[i]]}, {x, 0, 1, .01}]; 
  lstEv[i] = 
   Table[{x 120, Np0 Evaluate[Ep[x] /. solv[i]]}, {x, 0, 1, .01}]; 
  lstIv[i] = 
   Table[{x 120, Np0 Evaluate[Ip[x] /. solv[i]]}, {x, 0, 1, .01}]; 
  lstAv[i] =

  lstRv[i] = 
   Table[{x 120, Np0 Evaluate[Rp[x] /. solv[i]]}, {x, 0, 1, .01}]; 
  lstMv[i] = 
   Table[{x 120, Np0 Evaluate[Mp[x] /. solv[i]]}, {x, 0, 
     1, .01}];, {i, {99/100, 9/10, 8/10, 7/10, 6/10}}];]

It looks like it can not be solved with Haar wavelets. May be we need more sophisticated method since your system of equations is not trivial.

Posted 3 years ago

Hello Alexander,
I tried to solve another system via your code.
Please see the attached file for the solution.
I compare the solution with other two methods.
I see It's really so much different.
blue curve:wavelet method
black curve:adams method
red curve:Nuri's method
order:0.7
I need your comment.

Please, pay attention that in our model we use the Caputo fractional derivative. Therefore we solve system of integral equations. In you model there are ordinary derivatives, so you solve system of ordinary differential equations. Also in our model the time of integration is 120 while in your model 50. You need to scale function tn[q_]:=(1/120)^q as tn[q_]:=(1/50)^q. To be close to ordinary derivative we should put, for instance, q=99/100.

Dear Alexander Trounev, I corrected my code with your help.Thank you. Another thing is that, If it is possible, can you please send me a paper where you have used the given haar wavelets method in the sense of caputo derivative? Because I can see that you used this method in the sense of atangana-baleanu derivative. Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

The usage of Haar wavelets and Caputo fractional derivative is explained in this post, while combination of Euler wavelets and Caputo fractional derivative is described, for instance, in our paper "A novel numerical method for solving fractional diffusion-wave and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integral equations with zero absolute error" published in Axioms.

Dear Alexander Trounev, I hope you are doing well. Regarding your code,please see the attachment for my question.

I can not get the plots of S (t) versus I (t), I (t) versus R (t), and S (t) versus R (t).Could you please help me with that?.Thank you.

I tried it in a separate code since I can not do that inside the code. .Please see the attachment for my code. What can I do to get more smooth curves?

POSTED BY: vserturk

What problem do you try to solve? It looks like you use my code on interval (t,0,30000} with number of collocation points $2^8=256$, while main dynamics takes about $t=300$ for q=99/100. I can recommend to reduce time interval to {t,0,300} and plot picture like this one enter image description here

Posted 3 years ago

I considered [0,30000] instead of [0,300]. Because I can observe the stability points of the system much better. Please see the attached file for my fractional order system. enter image description here

It is nice code, but for a large interval we need to increase number of collocation points. Therefore, for 30000 we need about $2^{10}=1024$ colocation points. Then it could be problem to get solution with FindRoot.

Thank you for your selection. Now I should make a last step to force this code run 10-100 times faster. And then we can incorporate real data to evaluate parameters for every region.

Hello Alexander,I hope you are doing fine at Corona virus times. I guess you wrote this code: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/221609/solver-for-covid-19-epidemic-model-with-the-caputo-fractional-derivatives Could you please suggest me a reference for the Haar wavelet method? Vedat

There are many papers about Haar wavelets applications. For example, method for solving ODEs with Haar wavelets described by Ü. Lepik (2009) Haar wavelet method for solving stiff differential equations, Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 14:4, 467-481. To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.3846/1392-6292.2009.14.467-481

Method for solving integral equations proposed by Ülo Lepik and Enn Tamme, Solution of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations via the Haar wavelet method, Proc. Estonian Acad. Sci. Phys. Math., 2007, 56, 1, 17–27.
