Abstract:
In this paper, a mathematical epidemiological model in the form of reaction diffusion is proposed for the transmission of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The next-generation method is utilized for calculating the threshold number R while the least square curve fitting approach is used for estimating the parameter values. The mathematical epidemiological model without and with diffusion is simulated through the operator splitting approach based on finite difference and meshless methods. Further, for the graphical solution of the non-linear model, we have applied a one-step explicit meshless procedure. We study the numerical simulation of the proposed model under the effects of diffusion. The stability analysis of the endemic equilibrium point is investigated. The obtained numerical results are compared mutually since the exact solutions are not available.
