A fuzzy fractional model of coronavirus (COVID-19) and its study with Legendre spectral method

The virus which belongs to the family of the coronavirus was seen first in Wuhan city of China. As it spreads so quickly and fastly, now all over countries in the world are suffering from this. The world health organization has considered and declared it a pandemic. In this presented research, we have picked up the existing mathematical model of corona virus which has six ordinary differential equations involving fractional derivative with non-singular kernel and Mittag-Leffler law. Another new thing is that we study this model in a fuzzy environment. We will discuss why we need a fuzzy environment for this model. First of all, we find out the approximate value of ABC fractional derivative of simple polynomial function [Formula: see text]. By using this approximation we will derive and developed the Legendre operational matrix of fractional differentiation for the Mittag-Leffler kernel fractional derivative on a larger interval [Formula: see text]. For the numerical investigation of the fuzzy mathematical model, we use the collocation method with the addition of this newly developed operational matrix. For the feasibility and validity of our method we pick up a particular case of our model and plot the graph between the exact and numerical solutions. We see that our results have good accuracy and our method is valid for the fuzzy system of fractional ODEs. We depict the dynamics of infected, susceptible, exposed, and asymptotically infected people for the different integer and fractional orders in a fuzzy environment. We show the effect of fractional order on the suspected, exposed, infected, and asymptotic carrier by plotting graphs.
