  • Avena sterilis subsp. sterilis (sterile oat) is a troublesome grass weed of winter cereals both in its native range encompassing the Mediterranean up to South Asia, and in regions of America, Northern Europe and Australia where it is introduced. A better understanding of seedling emergence patterns of this weed in cereal fields can help control at early growth stages benefiting efficacy under a changing climate. With this aim, the objective of this research was to develop and validate a field emergence model for this weed based on cumulative air thermal time (CTT, ℃ day). Experiments for model setting and evaluation were carried out in experimental and commercial fields in southern Spain. Two alternative models, Gompertz and Weibull, were compared for their ability to represent emergence time course. The Weibull model provided the best fit to the data. Evaluation through independent experiments showed good model performance in predicting seedling emergence. According to the developed model, the onset of emergence takes place at 130 CTT, and 50% and 90% emergence is achieved at 448 and 632 CTT, respectively. Results indicate that this model could be useful for growers as a tool for decision-making in A. sterilis control.

    The SARS-CoV-2 virus triggered a pandemic worldwide. SARS-CoV-2, a spike protein virus, is the pathogen that causes widespread Coronavirus infections. Coronaviruses make up a broad family of viruses. The first serious disease attributed to a coronavirus is the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) an epidemic that began in China in 2003. Saudi Arabia was home to a second epidemic, middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS), first reported in 2012 [1]. In December 2019, Wuhan, China, announced a SARS coronavirus 2 outbreak (COVID-19). The World Health Organization (WHO) classified COVID-19 as a worldwide epidemic in March 2020. As of 8 January 2023, over 659 million cases have been confirmed worldwide, resulting in over 6.6 million deaths [2]. Typically, The disease is contracted through exposure to infected respiratory droplets from breathing, coughing, sneezing, and talking [3,4,5,6,7]. The disease is transmissible through the air, according to further research [8,9,10,11,12,13]. The risk of infection is also present when contact is made with objects that are contaminated with Covid-19. It has been observed that COVID-19 can cause a coughing fit, pain in the muscles, vertigo, high temperature, an inability to smell, throat irritation, weakness, and nasal congestion after 2–14 days of incubation of the virus.

    The Omicron variant has been characterized by its high transmissibility and numerous mutations, which have raised concerns about its potential to evade immunity conferred by vaccines or prior infection. In response, India has implemented measures such as booster doses and vaccine mix-and-match regimens to enhance protection against the new variant. Furthermore, the Indian government has also imposed stricter quarantine rules for international travelers, particularly those arriving from countries with high Omicron prevalence. Despite these efforts, challenges remain, particularly in remote or under-resourced areas where healthcare infrastructure and resources may be limited. Additionally, the emergence of new variants underscores the need for ongoing surveillance and research to better understand the virus and its behavior. To that end, India has continued to invest in genomic sequencing efforts, which have played a crucial role in tracking the spread of different variants. As India continues to navigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the situation with Omicron remains dynamic, and it is important to remain vigilant and adaptable in the face of new developments.

    Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a serious threat to public health. Three recent publications offer insight into the crucial elements that ought to direct disease containment efforts. A risk assessment of COVID-19 reappearance in connection to SARS-CoV-2 mutations and vaccine success is provided by Krueger et al.[14] in 2022. They place a strong emphasis on the value of immunization and the necessity of ongoing surveillance of the disease's spread. The necessity for a coordinated European response to the omicron version of COVID-19 is highlighted by Calero Valdez et al. [15] in 2022. To slow the spread of the variation and prevent a spike in cases, the authors contend that concerted action is required. In the meanwhile, Markovi et al.[16] (2021) provide evidence that socio-demographic and health characteristics are important contributors to the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and recommend that vaccination regimens should consider these aspects for efficient disease control. Collectively, these papers highlight the significance of a thorough, evidence-based strategy for COVID-19 regulation that considers both individual and population-level determinants.

    Dynamical systems have become increasingly complex, and fractional calculus (FC) has become an increasingly useful tool. The process of differentiation and integration in FC is generalized to non-integer orders. FC has been applied to research in a variety of fields. In order to gain a deeper understanding of a disease, fractional order differential equations (FODs) are used. For various diseases, mathematical models have been formulated and studied, for example, [17,18,19,20,21,22]. In order to overcome the deficiencies of the ordinary operator, fractional order derivatives have been developed [23]. Riemann-Liouville proposed the concept of the fractional derivative (FD). Caputo later reformulated and improved FD. The formula of Caputo FD is based on the singular power-law kernel. FDs are commonly used to study real problems, but they often yield singularities that are dissatisfactory. Following decades, and for this reason, Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) operators is created through nonsingular kernels [24]. CF, however, has a kernel locality problem. As a solution to this shortcoming, Atangana and Baleanu (AB) [25] proposed Mittag-Leffler kernels as a novel type of FD.

    Several works [26,27,28] have proposed fractional operators with singular and nonsingular kernels, and recent publications such as [29,30,31,32,33,34,35] explore the research related to these topics and their applications. Additionally, mathematical modeling studies have recently emerged to address social issues, such as criminal activity, using FC. In order to convert the proposed fractional-order crime transmission model to the delayed model and account for the lag between the crime and judgment, Bansal et al. [36] established the time-delay coefficient. Pritam et al. [37] studied a fractional-order mathematical model of crime transmission that includes the memory property inherited from the previous impact of the input while predicting the crime growth rate in analyzing crime congestion. By using the actual initial conditions for the subgroups of the USA, Partohaghighi et al. [38] designed and compared the fractional-order crime systems for the first time using the Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo (ABC), Caputo, and Caputo-Fabrizio derivatives and to obtain approximate solutions to the proposed models, they developed some numerical methods. Rahman et al. [39] presented a study on the dynamics of a fractional mathematical model of serial killing under the Mittag-Leffler kernel, [39] discovered the approximate solution and numerically simulated it for multiple control techniques in various fractional orders using the iterative fractional-order Adams-Bashforth approach.

    Haar wavelet numerical methods are a family of mathematical techniques used to solve differential equations with fractional derivatives. These methods are based on the Haar wavelet, a simple wavelet function that provides a piecewise constant approximation of a signal. The Haar wavelet is well suited for the numerical solution of fractional differential equations due to its simplicity, local support, and orthogonality. One of the main advantages of Haar wavelet numerical methods is their ability to provide efficient and accurate solutions to fractional differential equations. Unlike traditional numerical methods, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors when solving problems with fractional derivatives, Haar wavelet methods are computationally efficient and produce accurate solutions. Haar wavelet numerical methods have been applied to a wide range of problems in various fields, including physics, engineering, and finance. For example, they have been used to study the diffusion of heat in porous media, to model the dynamic behavior of financial markets, and to analyze the spread of infectious diseases. Haar wavelet numerical methods have gained significant attention in the past few years for solving problems associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These methods have been employed to model the virus's propagation over time while accounting for the multiple factors influencing its transmission. Through these studies, useful information has been obtained regarding the pandemic's dynamics, its evolution, and its impact, which has helped in developing public health policies and strategies aimed at managing its spread.

    The use of Haar wavelet numerical methods has gained popularity in various fields, including numerical analysis, image processing, quantum field theory, and statistics. Haar wavelets have been applied in communication, physics research, differential equations, and nonlinear problems [40]. They are preferred among all wavelet families because they are the simplest wavelet family that comprises pairs of piecewise constant functions. Additionally, they can be integrated analytically at random times. Recent research has employed Haar wavelets to solve various fractional-order mathematical models [41,42]. The Haar wavelet technique is not only fast but also more stable, making it an excellent option for numerical computation.

    The innovative aspects of the paper include the application of Haar wavelet collocation methods and fractional order COVID-19 models to the simulation of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the evolution of its variants. The results of the study can help shape public health policies and actions targeted at reducing its impact since they provide a more precise and effective solution to the fractional derivatives employed in the model. The importance of this work in furthering our understanding of COVID-19 is increased by the inclusion of parameter estimates and stability analysis. The remainder of the article is structured as follows: In Section 2, the basic concepts of the fractional differential, integral operator, and Haar wavelets have been presented. In Section 3, the fractional extension of the model has been formulated, and the equilibrium point and threshold number have been calculated. In Section 4, the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the model have been established and the numerical scheme is described. Section 5 provides parameter estimation for the COVID-19 reported data in India from 13 July to 25 August 2021. The sensitivity analysis of the model is cared out in Section 6. The numerical scheme and graphical results are presented in Section 7. Conclusions and future research direction have been offered in Section 8.

    In recent years, significant progress has been made in the definition of fractional derivatives. This progress has been documented in various sources, including [30,31,43,44,45]. The updated definitions encompass non-singular kernel derivatives, as well as the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative without a singular kernel and the two-parameter derivative with non-singular and non-local kernels. Out of these, the following two definitions are widely accepted in the field:

    Definition 1. Riemann-Liouville's definition characterizes the fractional derivative of F with order δ. The definition can be expressed as follows:

    DδF(t)={1Γ(sδ)(ddt)st0F(ν)(tν)δs+1dν,0s1<δ<s,sN,(d/dt)sF(t),δ=s,sN. (2.1)

    Definition 2. The function F can be differentiated with respect to the fractional order δ using the Caputo fractional derivative, which is defined in the following manner:

    DδF(t)={1Γ(sδ)t0(d/dν)sF(ν)(tν)δs+1dν,0s1<δ<s,sN,(d/dt)sF(t),δ=s,sN. (2.2)

    The study also employs the RL representation of the fractional integral operator Dδ with order δ. This operator can be defined in the following manner:

    DδF(t)=1Γ(δ)t0F(ν)(tν)δ1dν (2.3)

    According to [46,47], the mother Haar wavelet function (on the real line) is denoted as ψ(t), while the Haar scaling function is represented by ˜ψ0(t):

    ψ(t)={1, if t[0,12),1, if t[12,1),0, elsewhere,  (2.4)
    ˜ψ0(t)=1, if t[0,1). (2.5)

    Multiresolution analysis generates multiple Haar wavelets on the interval [0,1), which can be denoted as ˜ψm(t). As a consequence, the following relationship holds:

    ˜ψm(t)=2j/2ψ(2jtp),m=1,2,; (2.6)

    where m=2j+p:p=0,1,,2j1;j=0,1,. Further, we can translate the Haar functions on u1t<u as

    ˜ψu,m(t)=˜ψm(t+1u),m=0,1,2,,u=1,2,,ϱ,ϱN. (2.7)

    According to [47], the sequence {˜ψm(t)}m=0 forms a complete orthonormal system in L2[0,1), while the sequence {˜ψu,m(t)}m=0,u=1,2,,ϱ, forms a complete orthonormal system in L2[0,ϱ). This implies that any function F(t) belonging to L2[0,ϱ) can be expressed as a series of Haar orthonormal basis functions.

    F(t)=ϱu=1m=0Gu,m˜ψu,m(t). (2.8)

    Additionally, after truncating this series F(t), we obtain the equivalent approximation yp(t) of F(t) as

    F(t)yp(t)=ϱu=1p1m=0Gu,m˜ψu,m(t)=BTϱp×1˜ψϱp×1(t), (2.9)

    where the coefficients Gu,m can be expressed by inner product

    F(t),˜ψu,m(t)=uu1F(t)˜ψu,m(t)dt,m=1,2,,(p1),u=1,2,,ϱ,Bϱp×1=[G1,0,,G1,p1,G2,0,,G2,p1,,Gϱ,0,,Gϱ,p1]T,˜ψϱp×1=[˜ψ1,0,,˜ψ1,p1,˜ψ2,0,,˜ψ2,p1,,˜ψϱ,0,,˜ψϱ,p1]T, (2.10)

    and superscript T indicates the transpose of a matrix.

    Mathematical modeling plays a crucial role in understanding and predicting the spread of infectious diseases. By using mathematical equations and algorithms, researchers can simulate the behavior of diseases and their transmission within populations. This allows them to make predictions about the future spread of the disease and to test various intervention strategies. Mathematical models can also provide valuable insights into the basic mechanisms of disease transmission, helping to identify risk factors and to inform public health policies. However, it is important to note that the accuracy of these models depends on the quality of data input and the assumptions made in the model, and they should always be used in conjunction with other sources of information. Considering the work of [7,11], the model applied takes the form of the following ODEs:

    {dS(t)dt=BθS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε1+ρ+η)S(t),dE(t)dt=θS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t),dI(t)dt=φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t),dQ(t)dt=ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)(ρ+σ)Q(t),dR(t)dt=ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t),S(t)0,E(t)0,I(t)0,Q(t)0,R(t)0. (3.1)

    where,

    N(t)=S(t)+E(t)+I(t)+Q(t)+R(t).

    According to the five categories, the total population at time t is represented by N(t) in model (3.1). The individuals who are susceptible to infection are designated as S(t); exposed individuals are designated as E(t); infectious individuals are designated as I(t); and quarantined individuals are designated as Q(t); and recovered individuals are designated as R(t). The parameters θ and τ are positive constants, whereas B is the constant birth rate, θ is the coefficient of disease transmission, ρ is the natural death rate, andϵ is the mortality rate from infectious disease in humans and φ,λ,ε3,ε2,ε1,σ are the state transition rates. The term η refers to the transmission rate from the class of persons who are immune system-strong to those who are susceptible to it.

    The Caputo fractional derivative offers a significant advantage over classical models in the context of COVID-19 modeling by allowing for a more accurate representation of complex phenomena, such as the long-lasting effects of the disease on patients. Unlike classical models that assume instant recovery after an infection, Caputo fractional derivatives account for the memory effect of the disease, which can persist even after recovery, enabling more precise predictions and better decision-making regarding healthcare resource allocation and pandemic control measures. Additionally, using the Caputo derivative often requires less computational resources and less data, making it a more cost-effective solution in disease modeling. Furthermore, time memory effect can be found in most natural phenomena, such as epidemiological dynamics. Model (3.1) is expressed in integral form as:

    {dS(t)dt=tt0ς(tϑ)[BθS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε1+ρ+η)S(t)]dϑ,dE(t)dt=tt0ς(tϑ)[θS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t)]dϑ,dI(t)dt=tt0ς(tϑ)[φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t)]dϑ,dQ(t)dt=tt0ς(tϑ)[ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)(ρ+σ)Q(t)]dϑ,dR(t)dt=tt0ς(tϑ)[ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t)]dϑ. (3.2)

    Incorporating the Caputo derivative we get,

    {CDδ1t[dS(t)dt]=CDδ1tI(δ1)[BθS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε1+ρ+η)S(t)],CDδ1t[dE(t)dt]=CDδ1tI(δ1)[θS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t)],CDδ1t[dI(t)dt]=CDδ1tI(δ1)[φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t)],CDδ1t[dQ(t)dt]=CDδ1tI(δ1)[ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)(ρ+σ)Q(t)],CDδ1t[dR(t)dt]=CDδ1tI(δ1)[ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t)]. (3.3)

    After calculations, we reaches

    {CDδtS(t)=BθS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε1+ρ+η)S(t),CDδtE(t)=θS(t)I(t)(1+τI(t))(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t),CDδtI(t)=φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t),CDδtQ(t)=ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)(ρ+σ)Q(t),CDδtR(t)=ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t). (3.4)

    A crucial element of epidemiological modeling is the basic reproductive number R0, which expresses the typical number of secondary infections brought on by a single infected person in a population that is fully susceptible. In the context of epidemiological modeling, R0 offers numerous benefits:

    It provides a clear measure of the transmissibility of a disease: A high R0 indicates that a disease is easily transmitted, while a low R0 suggests that it is less contagious.

    It helps to predict the potential spread of an outbreak: By estimating R0, epidemiologists can predict the potential size and duration of an outbreak and identify the most effective control measures.

    It can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions: By comparing the R0 before and after an intervention, such as the implementation of a vaccine or quarantine measures, epidemiologists can determine the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing transmission.

    It can be used to identify the critical control points: R0 can be used to identify the critical points in the transmission of an infection, such as the number of infected individuals in a population.

    It can be used to predict the herd immunity threshold: The herd immunity threshold is the proportion of the population that needs to be immune to a disease in order to achieve herd immunity. R0 helps to predict the herd immunity threshold and thus the overall effectiveness of vaccination programs.

    The DFE of the model (3.4) is denoted by E0(S0,0,0,Q0,R0), where

    S0=Bη+ρ+ε1,Q0=ε1S0ρ+τ,R0=ηS0+τQ0ρ.

    Our proposed model is split in two matrices [48].

    ˜U=[0θS000],˜V=[φ+ρ+ε20φρ+ϵ+λ+ε3],
    ˜V1=1(φ+ρ+ε2)(ρ+ϵ+λ+ε3)[ρ+ϵ+λ+ε30φφ+ρ+ε2],
    ˜U˜V1=[θS0φ(φ+ρ+ε2)(ρ+ϵ+λ+ε3)θS0ρ+ϵ+λ+ε300].

    Hence

    R0=φθB(η+ρ+ε1)(φ+ρ+ε2)(ρ+ϵ+λ+ε3).

    The existence and uniqueness of a solution to a mathematical problem is a fundamental concept in many areas of mathematics. In order for a solution to exist, the problem must have at least one solution that satisfies all the given conditions. Uniqueness, on the other hand, refers to the fact that there is only one solution to the problem that satisfies all the given conditions. This is important because it means that any method used to solve the problem will always give the same answer. In many cases, the existence and uniqueness of a solution can be proven through the use of mathematical theorems and techniques such as the existence and uniqueness theorem.

    In this section, we describe the existence, uniqueness, and solution of the system (3.4) using the Caputo operator. We assume that the Banach space A(Y) is a continuous real-valued function with the sup-norm property on J=[0,b], and that Y=[0,κ] and P=A(Y)×A(Y)×A(Y)×A(Y)×A(Y) has the norm (S,E,Q,I,R)=S+E+Q+I+R. Here, S, E, Q, I, and R are defined as suptY|S(t)|, suptY|E(t)|, suptY|Q(t)|, suptY|I(t)|, and suptY|R(t)|, respectively. Using the Caputo fractional integral operator on both sides of (3.4), we obtain the following equation:

    {S(t)S(0)=CDδ0,tS(t){BθSI(1+τI)(ε1+ρ+η)S(t)},E(t)E(0)=CDδ0,tE(t){θSI(1+τI)(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t)},I(t)I(0)=CDδ0,tI(t){φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t)},Q(t)Q(0)=CDδ0,tQ(t){ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)(ρ+σ)Q(t)},R(t)R(0)=CDδ0,tR(t){ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t)}. (4.1)

    After calculation

    S(t)S(0)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB1(δ,ϑ,S(ϑ))dϑ,E(t)E(0)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB2(δ,ϑ,E(ϑ))dϑ,I(t)I(0)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB4(δ,ϑ,I(ϑ))dϑ,Q(t)Q(0)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB3(δ,ϑ,Q(ϑ))dϑ,R(t)R(0)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB5(δ,ϑ,R(ϑ))dϑ, (4.2)

    where

    {S(t)S(0)=CDδ0,tS(t){BθSI(1+τI)(ε1+ρ+η)S(t)},E(t)E(0)=CDδ0,tE(t){θSI(1+τI)(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t)},I(t)I(0)=CDδ0,tI(t){φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t)},Q(t)Q(0)=CDδ0,tQ(t){ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)(ρ+σ)Q(t)},R(t)R(0)=CDδ0,tR(t){ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t)}. (4.3)
    B1(δ,t,S(t))=BθSI(1+τI)(ε1+ρ+η)S(t),B2(δ,t,E(t))=θSI(1+τI)(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t),B3(δ,t,I(t))=φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t),B4(δ,t,Q(t))=ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)(ρ+σ)Q(t),B5(δ,t,R(t))=ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t). (4.4)

    The symbols B1,B2,B3,B4 and B5 have to hold for the Lipschitz condition only if S(t),E(t),Q(t),I(t) and R(t) possess an upper bound. Summarizing that S(t) and S(t) are couple functions, we reach

    B1(δ,t,S(t))B1(δ,t,S(t))=(θI(1+τI)+η+ρ+ε1)(S(t)S(t)). (4.5)

    Taking into account Λ1=(θI(1+τI)+η+ρ+ε1) one reaches

    B1(δ,t,S(t))B1(δ,t,S(t))Λ1S(t)S(t). (4.6)

    B2(δ,t,E(t))B2(δ,t,E(t))Λ2E(t)E(t),B3(δ,t,Q(t))B3(δ,t,Q(t))Λ3Q(t)Q(t),B4(δ,t,I(t))B4(δ,t,I(t))Λ4I(t)I(t),B5(δ,t,R(t))B5(δ,t,R(t))Λ5R(t)R(t). (4.7)

    Where

    Λ2=(φ+ρ+ε2)Λ3=(ρ+ϵ+λ+ε3)Λ4=(ρ+τ)Λ5=(ρ).

    These results suggest that the Lipschitz condition holds for all five functions. By iteratively utilizing the equations in (4.2), we can derive the following expressions

    Sn(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB1(δ,ϑ,Sn1(ϑ))dϑ,En(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB2(δ,ϑ,En1(ϑ))dϑ,Qn(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB3(δ,ϑ,Qn1(ϑ))dϑ,In(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB4(δ,ϑ,In1(ϑ))dϑ,Rn(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δB5(δ,ϑ,Rn1(ϑ))dϑ, (4.8)

    together with S0(t)=S(0),E0(t)=E(0),Q0(t)=Q(0),I0(t)=I(0) and R0(t)=R(0). When the successive terms difference is taken, we get

    ΨS,n(t)=Sn(t)Sn1(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δ(B1(δ,ϑ,Sn1(ϑ))B1(δ,ϑ,Sn2(ϑ)))dϑ,ΨE,n(t)=En(t)En1(t)=H(δ)l0(tϑ)δ(B2(δ,ϑ,En1(ϑ))B2(δ,ϑ,En2(ϑ)))dϑ,ΨI,n(t)=I2n(t)In1(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δ(B4(δ,ϑ,In1(ϑ))B4(δ,ϑ,In2(ϑ)))dϑ,ΨQ,n(t)=Q1n(t)Qn1(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δ(B3(δ,ϑ,Qn1(ϑ))B3(δ,ϑ,Qn2(ϑ)))dϑ,ΨR,n(t)=Rn(t)Rn1(t)=H(δ)t0(tϑ)δ(B5(δ,ϑ,Rn1(ϑ))B5(δ,ϑ,Rn2(ϑ)))dϑ. (4.9)

    It is vital to observe that

    Sn(t)=nm=0ΨS,m(t),En(t)=nm=0ΨE,m(t),Qn(t)=nm=0ΨQ,m(t),In(t)=nm=0ΨI,m(t),Rn(t)=nm=0ΨR,m(t).

    Additionally, by using Eqs (4.6) and (4.7) and considering that

    ΨS,n1(t)=Sn1(t)Sn2(t),ΨE,n1(t)=En1(t)En2(t),ΨQ,n1(t)=Qn1(t)Qn2(t),ΨI,n1(t)=In1(t)In2(t),ΨR,n1(t)=Rn1(t)Rn2(t),

    we reach

    ΨS,n(t)H(δ)Λ1t0(tϑ)δΨS,n1(ϑ)dϑ,ΨE,n(t)H(δ)Λ2t0(tϑ)δΨE,n1(ϑ)dϑ,ΨI,n(t)H(δ)Λ4t0(tϑ)δΨI,n1(ϑ)dϑ,ΨQ,n(t)H(δ)Λ3t0(tϑ)δΨQ,n1(ϑ)dϑ,ΨR,n(t)H(δ)Λ5t0(tϑ)δΨR,n1(ϑ)dϑ. (4.10)

    Theorem 3. If the following condition holds

    H(δ)δκδΛm<1,m=1,2,,5. (4.11)

    Then, (3.4) has a unique solution for t[0,κ].

    Proof It is shown that S(t),E(t),Q(t),I(t) and R(t) are bounded functions. In addition, as can be seen from Eqs (4.6) and (4.7), the B1,B2,B3,B4 and B5 hold for Lipchitz condition. Therefore, utilizing Eq (4.10) together with a recursive hypothesis, we arrive at

    ΨS,n(t)S0(t)(H(δ)δκδΛ1)n,ΨE,n(t)E0(t)(H(δ)δκδΛ2)n,ΨI,n(t)I0(t)(H(δ)δκδΛ4)n,ΨQ,n(t)Q0(t)(H(δ)δκδΛ3)n,ΨR,n(t)R0(t)(H(δ)δκδΛ5)n. (4.12)

    As a result, it is evident that sequences fulfill and exist

    ΨS,n(t)0,ΨE,n(t)0,ΨI,n(t)0,ΨQ,n(t)0,ΨR,n(t)0 as n.

    Additionally, using Eq (4.12) and the triangle inequality, for any s, we have

    Sn+s(t)Sn(t)n+sj=n+1Xj1=Xn+11Xn+s+111X1,En+s(t)En(t)n+sj=n+1Xj2=Xn+12Xn+s+121X2,In+s(t)In(t)n+sj=n+1Xj3=Xn+13Xn+s+131X3,Qn+s(t)Qn(t)n+sj=n+1Xj4=Xn+14Xn+s+141X4,Rn+s(t)Rn(t)n+sm=n+1Xj5=Xn+15Xn+s+151X5, (4.13)

    with Xm=H(δ)δκδΛm<1 by hypothesis. Consequently, the sequences Sn, En, In, Qn, and Rn can be considered as Cauchy sequences in the Banach space A(Y). It has been shown that they converge uniformly [49].

    Parameter estimation is a fundamental problem in statistical inference, machine learning, and many other fields. It involves estimating the values of unknown parameters in a model based on observed data. The goal of parameter estimation is to find the values of the parameters that best fit the data and allow us to make accurate predictions or draw meaningful conclusions about the system under study. There are many different methods for parameter estimation, ranging from simple techniques like least squares regression to more complex approaches like maximum likelihood estimation or Bayesian inference. The choice of method often depends on the nature of the data, the complexity of the model, and the specific goals of the analysis. However, regardless of the method chosen, parameter estimation is a crucial step in many scientific and engineering applications, and its success or failure can have significant consequences.

    In this part, we used the least square curve fitting methods to analyze the instances of COVID-19 that were reported in India between 13 July 2021 and 25 August 2021 [50]. The system's (3.4) estimated parameters are based on India's overall data on conformed events and fatalities. The daily reports' error terms are reduced using the ordinary least square solution (OLS), and the goodness of fit test uses the related relative error.

    min(nι=1(IιˆIl)2nι=1I2ι). (5.1)

    Sensitivity analysis plays a crucial role in identifying the parameters that are most effective in controlling the spread of COVID-19. Although forward sensitivity analysis can be laborious for complex biological models, it remains an essential component of phenomena modeling. Ecologists and epidemiologists have shown considerable interest in conducting sensitivity analysis of R0.

    Definition 4. The normalized forward sensitivity index of R0 that depends on the differentiability of a parameter ϰ is described as follows:

    Υϰ=ϰR0R0ϰ.

    Sensitivity indices, which quantify the contribution of various factors to the output of a model, can be computed in a number of different ways. Direct differentiation, Latin hypercube sampling, and system linearization are three frequently used techniques. The direct differentiation method will be used in this study because it gives analytical expressions for the indices. Using this method, we can compare the variation between the R0 parameter and other parameters and analyze the effects of various financial crime-related factors. We can learn vital information about the relative weights of various variables and how they impact the model's output by using sensitivity indices. This knowledge can enhance our comprehension of the dynamics of financial crime and assist in guiding policy decisions. The graphical results are displayed in Figures 2 and 3.

    Figure 1.  The simulation results for a suggested model of COVID-19 cases in India from January 1 to February 14, 2022 are shown in the figure. The best-fitted curve and its residuals, which represent the variations between the simulated results and the actual daily cumulative cases reported during that time, are displayed on the graph. The curve may serve as a decision-making tool for public health measures and interventions by assisting researchers and decision-makers in better understanding the patterns and trends of the pandemic in India.
    Figure 2.  This plot provides a thorough evaluation of the relative significance of each input parameter by demonstrating the sensitivity of a model's output to changes in multiple input variables at once.

    Consider ˙S(t),˙E(t),˙I(t),˙Q(t) and ˙R(t) are in the square integrable function space L2[0,1), and can be expressed as a Haar series as

    ˙S(t)=Np=1αp˜ψp(t),˙E(t)=Np=1θp˜ψp(t),˙I(t)=Np=1λp˜ψp(t),˙I(t)=Np=1ϑp˜ψp(t) and R(˙t)=Np=1σp˜ψp(t)

    where αp, θp, λp, ϑp and σp are coefficients of the Haar series and ˜ψp(t) is the discretise Haar function [51] with the exposed compartment E0 includes people who have been infected but are not yet contagious, and the susceptible compartment S0 represents people who are initially susceptible to the disease at the start of the epidemic. The infectious individuals are housed in the infected compartment I0, whereas the isolated or hospitalized individuals are housed in the quarantined compartment Q0. Those who have recovered from the illness and are no longer contagious are included in the recovered compartment R0. We integrate the equations that describe the movement of people between these compartments in order to model the epidemic's progression over time. The result of this integration is a set of equations that show how the population of each compartment varies over time.

    S(t)=S0+Np=1αpGp,1(t),E(t)=E0+Np=1θpGp,1(t),I(t)=I0+Np=1λpGp,1(t),Q(t)=Q0+Np=1ϑpGp,1(t), and R(t)=R0+Np=1σpGp,1(t) (7.1)

    where Gp,1(t) is the operational matrix of integration of pth order [51,52].

    By using Caputo derivative, we have

    {1Γ(nδ)t0S(n)(ϑ)(tϑ)nδ1dϑ=BθSI(1+τI)(ε1+ρ+η)S(t),1Γ(nδ)t0E(n)(ϑ)(tϑ)nδ1dϑ=θSI(1+τI)(ε2+ρ+φ)E(t),1Γ(nδ)t0I(n)(ϑ)(tϑ)nδ1dϑ=φE(t)(λ+ϵ+ρ+ε3)I(t),1Γ(nδ)t0Q(n)(ϑ)(tϑ)nδ1dϑ=ε1S(t)+ε2E(t)+ε3I(t)+(ρ+σ)Q(t),1Γ(nδ)t0R(n)(ϑ)(tϑ)nδ1dϑ=ηS(t)+σQ(t)+λI(t)ρR(t). (7.2)

    As we have assumed that 0<δ<1, therefore n=1, and we have

    Using Broyden's approach, this system can be solved. The Jacobian is given by:

    J=[Jjp]5N×5N (7.30)

    The Jacobian can be obtained by evaluating the following partial derivatives.

    Φ1,jαp,Φ1,jαp,Φ1,jαp,Φ1,jαp,Φ1,jαp,Φ2,jθp,Φ2,jθp,Φ2,jθp,Φ2,jθp,Φ2,jθp,Φ3,jλp,Φ3,jλp,Φ3,jλp,Φ3,jλp,Φ3,jλp,Φ4,jϱp,Φ4,jϱp,Φ4,jϱp,Φ4,jϱp,Φ4,jϱp,Φ5,jσp,Φ5,jσp,Φ5,jσp,Φ5,jσp,Φ5,jσp. (7.31)

    This system's solution yields the values of the αp's, θp's, λp's, ϑp's, and σp's unknown coefficients. By entering αp's, θp's, λp's, ϑp's, and σp's into Eq (7.1), it is possible to calculate the necessary solutions S(t),E(t), I(t),Q(t) and R(t) at nodal locations. The experimental rate of convergence, denoted by the formula rϱ(N) [54], can be calculated as follows:

    rϱ(N)=1log2log[ Maximum absolute error at N2 Maximum absolute error at N]. (7.32)

    Next we are going to display the graphical results.

    In this section, we present graphical results that showcase the dynamics of various groups of individuals in the fractional order model (3.4). To solve the model numerically, we adopt the method described in [47,55] and rely on the information provided in Table 1. The resulting figures, which include Figures 47, offer valuable insights into the behavior of susceptible (S), exposed (E), infected (I), recovered (R), and quarantined (Q) individuals. Figure 5(a) depicts the fractional-order derivatives of susceptible individuals, which range between 0.50 and 0.90, and shows that the number of susceptible individuals decreases as time progresses due to exposure to the virus. This is a typical behavior observed in other epidemiological models. Figure 5(b) presents the population of exposed individuals, which grows steadily and rapidly as the fractional-order derivative approaches the classical value. This increase is attributed to the higher number of susceptible people becoming infected and joining the exposed class in the initial weeks of the outbreak, suggesting an increased transmission risk during the early stages of the epidemic. The number of infected individuals, depicted in Figure 5(c), increases as the fractional order approaches 1 due to the increased sensitivity of the fractional order. Figure 5(d) illustrates how most students in the confined and infectious stages of the virus leave the exposed class a few weeks after exposure. The exposed population's behavior is identical to that of the population under quarantine, and as the fractional-order derivative becomes closer to the integer order, there are more exposed people overall. The number of recovered individuals is shown in Figure 5(e) and it increases continuously as the fractional-order derivative gets closer to the classical value as a result of the recovery of infected people, which helps to confine the disease. Raising the fractional order will hasten the population increase of the restored class.

    Figure 4.  The figure illustrates how the Caputo fractional model responds to different initial conditions, showcasing the behavior of each state variable for a specific value of δ, set at 0.8.
    Figure 5.  The figure showcases the distinct behavior of each state variable in the Caputo version of the fractional model, employing the parameter values specified in the graph.
    Figure 6.  The figure shows the behavior of each state variable for the Caputo fractional model under different initial conditions.
    Figure 7.  The behavior of each state variable is fully illustrated in this figure for a particular value of the parameter θ, i.e. θ=0.01815. The y-axis displays the values of the state variables while the x-axis indicates time. Each state variable exhibits a distinct pattern over time in the plot, which clearly illustrates the dynamics of the system. Understanding the basic mechanisms guiding the system and projecting its future behavior under various circumstances are made possible with the use of this information.

    In conclusion, sensitivity analysis and computational modeling of fractional COVID-19 models by Haar wavelet collocation methods with real data provides valuable insights into the behavior of COVID-19 spread. This method of analysis helps to understand the impact of different variables on the spread of the disease and can be used to make informed decisions about the most effective strategies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The use of Haar wavelet collocation methods allows for a more accurate representation of the data, resulting in a more precise and reliable model. This work highlights the importance of using advanced techniques to better understand the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we have studied the Covid epidemic model under the fractional derivatives in Caputo sense. The model's existence and uniqueness are established by considering fixed point theory outcomes. To carry out numerical treatment and simulations, we utilize the Haar wavelet collocation method. We also provide parameter estimation for the COVID-19 cases recorded in India from 13 July 2021 to 25 August, 2021. In future, the control parameters may be incorporated into the proposed model by applying optimal control theory to minimize infection among the infected individuals. This would require defining appropriate optimal control variables, as well as Hamiltonian and Lagrangian functions. Another possible modification to the model is to convert it into a stochastic model by introducing a noise term for each class. This could involve incorporating two types of noise: white noise and Levy noise.
