Abstract
Infectious diseases have been a constant cause of disaster in human population. Simultaneously, it provides motivation for math and biology professionals to research and analyze the systems that drive such illnesses in order to predict their long-term spread and management. During the spread of such diseases several kinds of delay come into play, owing to changes in their dynamics. Here, we have studied a fractional order dynamical system of susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered and vaccinated population with a single delay incorporated in the infectious population accounting for the time period required by the said population to recover. We have employed Adam–Bashforth–Moulton technique for deriving numerical solutions to the model system. The stability of all equilibrium points has been analyzed with respect to the delay parameter. Utilizing actual data from India COVID-19 instances, the parameters of the fractional order SEIRV model were calculated. Graphical demonstration and numerical simulations have been done with the help of MATLAB (2018a). Threshold values of the time delay parameter have been found beyond which the system exhibits Hopf bifurcation and the solutions are no longer periodic.
Keywords: Fractional-order SEIRV model, Stability, Hopf bifurcation, Adam–Bashforth method, Numerical study
1. Introduction
Vaccination is one of the most effective measures in the prevention and control of highly contagious diseases like chicken pox, small pox, HIV, SARS, Swine flu, polio etc. It has been proved that vaccination may be considered as a key component in the anti-spread drive of such diseases. Among other measures, complete lockdown, semi lockdown, rationing, improvement of health services etc. may be mentioned. Considering the formidable challenge posed by the social, cultural, economic, demographic and geographical impact of such diseases on human population, it becomes necessary to discover methods of their prevention. From the inception of viral invasion into human community, scientists have constantly made efforts in the study of causes of newly infected cases of susceptible and exposed population, and the effect of vaccination on recovered population. Mathematical modeling of these epidemic diseases is very common in the related research where in the total population is primarily compartmentalized into the susceptible individuals , the exposed individuals , the infected individuals and the recovered individuals . Another compartment of the population is considered to be the vaccinated individuals . The dynamics of these variables are widely studied using integral order differential equations.[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] In this communication, we have considered the Caputo derivative of order which is a special type of fractional order derivative to study the behavior of the spread of COVID-19 disease. Recently, an extensive investigation is being carried out to study the spread and prevention of corona virus disease which is reported to have a high fatality rate.[9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21] Kuang22 presents delay logistic equations, which are particularly applicable to epidemic systems. Mathematical models of epidemic systems with delay are discussed by Brauer and Chavez23. Xu et al.24 explore the effect of numerous time delays on fractional-order neural network bifurcation. For even more published articles, see Refs. [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30] Since it is quite natural that the infected population will take some time to recover, here, we have considered a single time delay in the infected population.
1.1. Motivation and novelties of the work
Fractional derivatives are an effective tool for understanding memory and inheritance in a variety of systems and situations. The essential information of a function is preserved in stacked format by fractional calculus. To study the dynamics of disease transmission, fractional-order modeling has been applied. Furthermore, whereas fractional derivative is not local, integer-order differentiation is. This tendency is beneficial in the modeling of epidemics. The Caputo derivative is extremely useful for discussing real-world situations since it enables conventional initial and boundary conditions to be used in the derivation, and the derivation of a constant is zero, which is not the fact with the Riemann–Liouville derivative. Epidemic models with time delay are more effective and realistic. Immunity period delays, infection period delays, latent period delays, and other delays are all frequent. Therefore, investigation of the role of delay is vital in the dynamics of epidemic models. Liu31 introduced a delayed epidemic system and investigated the Hopf bifurcation by employing the time delay produced by the infected population’s cure period as the bifurcation parameter. Delay Differential Equations of epidemic models are also discussed in Refs. [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40]. Motivated by early research, we explore the study of the disease’s impact using an appropriate mathematical model [ model] in terms of the Caputo derivatives of the dynamical variables with a single delay parameter.

•

6. Conclusion
We have studied the model (2.9) considering a single time delay parameter . The stability analysis of the system depicts that point of the system (2.9) is locally asymptotically stable when < 1, and unstable when in the absence of time delay. The endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if , when . However, in the presence of time delay parameter , both the points and are asymptotically stable in the interval where is given by . Numerical computations reveal that if then the system (2.9) exhibits Hopf bifurcation. Thus, it becomes apparent that beyond the value of the dynamics of the system becomes unstable. It may be recalled that the time delay parameter was incorporated in (2.9) to justify the argument that the infected population will take some time to recover. When the time delay owing to the time period required by the infected individuals to recover from the disease surpasses a threshold value, the model described here produces a Hopf bifurcation around the endemic equilibrium point.
