Abstract

Fractional calculus has been an effective method for modeling and controlling dynamical systems that display memory-dependent and nonlocal behaviors in recent times. This research suggests a novel fractional optimal control method for treating malaria model. We capture the long-range interactions and memory effects inherent in the spread of malaria by adding Caputo fractional derivatives to the mathematical model of transmission dynamics. Disease-free, endemic equilibrium points and basic reproduction number are obtained. The basic reproduction number is evaluated. Stability and instability of equilibrium points are determined by using Routh–Hurwitz criteria. We illustrate the effectiveness of fractional optimum control strategies in reducing the transmission of malaria using numerical simulations and analysis. Comparing fractional derivatives to traditional methods, our findings show that they allow for more accurate modeling of the dynamics of disease and, consequently, better control measures.
