Abstract
This study aims to develop a novel fuzzy fractional model for the human liver that incorporates the ABC fractional differentiability, also known as ABC gH-differentiability, based on the generalized Hukuhara derivative. In addition, a novel fuzzy double parametric q-homotopy analysis method with a generalized transform and ABC gH-differentiability is used to deal with the fuzzy mathematical model and examine its convergence analysis. The stability of the unique equilibrium point for the fuzzy fractional human liver model and the existence of a unique solution in the proposed model are investigated using the Arzela–Ascoli theorem and Schauder’s fixed-point theory. Some numerical experiments are conducted to visualize better results and test the proposed method’s efficacy. The results of the q-HAShTM employing the presented approaches coincide with most of the clinical data, providing it more precise and superior to the generalized Mittag–Leffler function method.
Introduction
Mathematical modelling is crucial for preventing metabolic risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, as well as for studying the human body’s kinetics of the endocrine and metabolic systems. However, several models have been proposed to explain how the liver functions, but these models have only been applied to integer-order differential equations. Although many gains in hepatic surgery have been attributed to technological advancements, there is no doubting the importance of a detailed understanding of the interior architecture of the liver in achieving better results [1]. Based on the liver’s critical role, researchers are increasingly focusing on developing mathematical models that can characterize the liver’s performance. Some notable efforts have been made in this approach by Čelechovská [2], Calvettie et al. [3], Repetto and Tweedy [4] Friendman and Hao [5], etc. Many scientists and researchers have recently proved that the fractional models describe natural phenomena accurately and systematically better than their integer-order equivalents using conventional time-derivatives [6–10]. In recent days, fractional calculus has been used to describe various complicated biological systems [11, 12]. Although these studies produced better results than other standard models with integer order, a satisfactory level of accuracy could not be attained over the entire period due to the new definition of common fractional derivatives, which renders those operators impractical for the description of non-local dynamics [13–15].
The fuzzy set theory provides an effective option for analysing uncertain situations. There are several applications of fuzzy set theory, including fixed-point theory and topology, fractional calculus and consumer electronics. Many researchers and scientists have taken a keen interest in the study of fractional calculus, which also includes fractional-order integrals and derivatives. Due to its precise and accurate observations, fractional calculus has numerous applications in modern physical and biological processes. The Interval or fuzzy formulations can also be implemented using fractional models in real-world contexts. Fractional differential equations with uncertainty introduced by Agrawal et al. [16]. They solved them using Riemann-differentiability Liouville’s and Hukuhara’s differences. The Hukuhara difference, first presented by Bede et al. [17, 18], and later on, became a significant topic among academicians and researchers. Since fractional situations are common in real-world situations, so many researchers generalized it using a generalisation of the strongly generalised differentiability. The q-homotopy Shehu transforms technique (Sartanpara and Meher [19, 20]) with Caputo derivative (q-HAShTM) and fuzzy double parametric technique (Meher et al. [21–23]) are used for solving various real-world problems. Alqudah et al. [24] have addressed the fuzzy Cauchy reaction–diffusion models using the Caputo fractional derivative (CFD) and Atangana–Baleanu (AB) fractional derivative operator with generalized Hukuhara differentiability. Similarly, Smadi et al. [25] investigated fuzzy fractional differential equations with unknown constraints coefficients and initial conditions in view of the Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo differential operator whereas Alderremy et al. [26] studied the fractional COVID-19 model with ABC derivative in the fuzzy environment. The fuzzy-fractional variational problems were discussed by Zhang et al. [27] using the gH-Atangana–Baleanu fuzzy-fractional derivative in Caputo sense.
When a colouring substance called bromsulphthalein (BSP) is injected into the blood, presuming that no other organ in the body takes up BSP. It is the only one that absorbs and secretes it straight into the bile, the blood’s BSP concentration can be assessed at various periods. Many researchers and scientists have worked on the human liver disease through mathematical and clinical interventions in recent years. Verma et al. [28] discussed human liver failure post-liver resection. Baleanu et al. [29] studied the mathematical modelling of the human liver under the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional order. Ahamd et al. [30] discussed the human liver model in uncertainty under the Caputo fractional derivative. Ameen et al. [31] have investigated the analytical and numerical solution of time-fractional of the human liver model under Caputo sense, while Rasid et al. [32] have analysed the human liver’s oscillatory and complex behaviour with a non-singular kernel.
This model is inspired by the discussion above and the applicability of ABC gH-differentiability. Upon utilising the generalised Hukuhara difference, here we will study the application of ABC gH-differentiability, which is an explicit method based on the generalised Hukuhara derivative. This study presents a novel mathematical fuzzy liver model based on the generalised Hukuhara difference and the ABC fractional derivative. The fractional ABC derivative [33, 34] is utilised here to construct and employ an interval technique for interval modelling to find the parametric interval solutions. A novel fuzzy double parametric q-homotopy analysis method with a generalised transform and ABC derivative is used to deal with the fuzzy mathematical model and examine its solution convergence. The existence of a unique solution in the proposed model is investigated using the Arzela–Ascoli theorem and Schauder’s fixed-point theory. Some numerical experiments are conducted to visualise better results and test the proposed method’s efficacy. Finally, real-world clinical data show that the novel fractional model outperforms the existing integer-order model with ordinary temporal derivatives.
The following is the outline for this paper: Sect. 2 discusses the preliminaries, while Sect. 3 discusses the mathematical formulation of the problem with the inclusion of equilibrium and stability. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the proposed model are discussed in Sect. 4. Section 5 discusses the applications of q-HAShTM’s to the proposed biological model, while Sect. 6 covers the convergence analysis of the problem. The result and discussion of the study and the final remarks are presented in Sects. 7 and 8.

Mathematical formulation of the model with ABC fractional order
The study of the human liver, in some instances, is prevalent among the investigators, so here we have considered a fractional order human liver model in an uncertain case, i.e. with a fuzzy sense. Initially, Čelechovská discussed it as an integer-order model in 2004 [2], and here, the model is extended to an uncertain case. The authors employed the clinical data gathered by the Bromsulphthalein (BSP) test to investigate the parametric study of the proposed model in a crisp case. By assuming z(t) and w(t) as the amount of BSP in the blood and liver, respectively, at time t, the integer-order model is formulated by Čelechovská [2]
| 3.1 |
where A, B, & D are the known constants and denotes the transfer rate and initial condition are . In Eq. (3.1), we change the integer-order to fuzzy fractional order ones in ABC sense as shown
| 3.2 |
Here and & are fuzzy number. The R.H.S. of the system Eq. (3.2) has the dimension time; however, when the derivative order is changed to , the dimension of the L.H.S. becomes time. We can change the coefficients in the following equation to ignore the dimensional mismatching [29]
| 3.3 |
Put in Eq. (3.3), we get
| 3.4 |
with fuzzy initial conditions
| 3.5 |
Equilibrium and stability
Equation (3.4) defines a homogeneous system of linear time-invariant fuzzy fractional differential equation with an equilibrium at the origin denoted as , In this regard, the matrix coefficient for the system Eq. (3.4) is given by
| 3.6 |
The characteristic polynomial of the matrix (3.5) can be obtained as
| 3.7 |
Since and , the real components of the eigenvalues of I are negative. As a result, the system (3.4) is asymptotically stable.
Existence of solution for the fractional model
This section discusses the existence and uniqueness of the solution with the fuzzy fractional approach of the proposed model (3.4). Here, we discuss the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the proposed model under ABC derivative with fractional order using Banach fixed point in a fuzzy sense. The following is the reformulation of the proposed model:
| 4.1 |
where and are fuzzy function.
Upon using Eq. (4.1) for , we can write the proposed model as
| 4.2 |
With help of Lemma 1, the system of Eq. (4.2) can be written as
| 4.3 |
where
| 4.4 |
| 4.5 |
| 4.6 |
| 4.7 |
Using Eqs. (4.2) and (4.3), we can define the two operators and , as

Now, upon using the fixed point theorem, here we will show the theoretical analysis for the system of equations.
and are constants, such that
| 4.10 |

| 4.11 |
Theorem 2
If holds, then the system of equation (4.3) has at least one solution and the proposed system (3.4) also has a unique solution if
| 4.12 |
Proof
We will start by proving that is a contraction by using the Banach contraction theorem, for this let , where is a convex closed set. We define Eq. (4.8) by
| 4.13 |
So is closed and hence contraction.
Now we can show that the is well defined throughout the entire domain and compact in comparison form, as well as that is continuous and bounded. Since is continuous and , it can be defined as follows:
| 4.14 |
Hence, from Eq. (4.14), it can be seen that the operator is bounded and for equi-continuous. Let , such that
| 4.15 |
As , so R.H.S of Eq. (4.15) tending to zero as the operator is continuous, so
| 4.16 |
Hence, it is proved that is equi-continuous; which is uniformly continuous using Arzela–Ascoli theorem, as is bounded. It can also be added that that the system of equation has at least one solution. As a result, using Schauder’s fixed-point theorem, it can be concluded that the system (3.4) has at least one solution.
Uniqueness result
Theorem 3
If the integral Eq. (4.3) has a unique solution under the assumption then the system of Eq. (3.4) also has the unique solution if
| 4.17 |
Proof
Let us assume that an operator defined by
| 4.18 |
Let then
| 4.19 |
where
| 4.20 |
Thus, the operator T is contraction in Eq. (4.19). So, Eq. (4.3) has a unique solution. As a result, the considered system of Eq. (3.4) has a unique solution as well.

Now, we can rewrite Eq. (5.3) as follows
| 5.4 |
and
| 5.5 |
Now we can define the two parameters using q-homotopy analysis method as

Fuzzy double parametric technique HLM
This section discusses the solution of the fuzzy fractional model (3.4) using the q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HAShTM) [21]. Upon applying the -cut in Eq. (3.4) in the interval form of [(i)-gH] derivative, we get
| 5.25 |

| 5.28 |
Here, and are the two fuzzy parameters, and is the double parametric form of the fuzzy fractional model (5.27) and with initial conditions (5.28). As a result, we can write Eq. (5.27) and (5.28) using the definition 5 and 9 as
| 5.29 |
| 5.30 |
| 5.31 |
| 5.32 |
Thus, Eqs. (5.27) and (5.28) can be written with the help of Eq. (5.29) to (5.32) as
| 5.33 |
and
| 5.34 |
Upon applying the Shehu transform in Eq. (5.33), we get

The deformation equation of the order can be written as
| 5.42 |
where

and
| 5.44 |
Upon applying the inverse “Shehu transform” to Eq. (5.42), we get

Solving Eq. (5.45) for different values of and , we get

Similarly, upon solving the equation, we can get the approximate solution of Eq. (5.33) as
| 5.47 |

As a result, and are the exact solution of the system (5.35). Hence, the proof is complete.
Result and discussion
Here, a double parametric approach with q-HAShTM is considered in the gH-ABC sense to study the fuzzy fractional human liver model (3.4) in an uncertain environment. The values used for the proposed model parameters are as follows: , where the initial condition is considered with an uncertain parameter in a fuzzy sense. The effect of the auxiliary parameter h is investigated to study the convergence of the series solution obtained by q-HAShTM. The h-curve has been plotted to define the value of h in finding the approximate solution of Eq. (3.4). The h-curve is displayed in Fig. 1a, b for the different values of fractional order . According to this diagram, the convergence zone of the approximation solution is the horizontal line parallel to the h-axis, and the convergence method is assured for the value of h, i.e. . In addition, the obtained results of q-HAShTM are compared with the clinical data in Tables 1 and 2 as obtained by Pro. Evzen Hrncir in 1985 [2]. From Tables 1 and 2, it can be observed that the generalized Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo model with integer model approximate solution of q-HAShTM is closer to the real experimental observation. The obtained results support the efficacy of the proposed method, as the reaction of the new fractional model, i.e. the ABC model, corresponds to real-world clinical observations. Furthermore, Fig. 2a, b represents the comparison of real data and approximate solution of the amount of the BPS at time t in the blood and liver , respectively. Next, we have computed the q-HAShTM solution for different value of fractional order in crisp case, i.e. of and , respectively (see Fig. 3a, b).

Conclusion
In this study, a novel fuzzy fractional model of the human liver involving the generalised Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo, i.e. gH-ABC derivative, is considered with a novel double parametric approach. Furthermore, the study of the existence of a unique solution using Banach’s fixed point theory in a fuzzy sense demonstrated the problem’s stability. In addition, the uniqueness of the solution has been obtained using the Arzela–Ascoli theorem and Schauder’s fixed-point theory and investigated the converging of the proposed model. The efficiency of the newly proposed method was verified by the numerical experiments as shown in Tables 1, 2 and Fig. 2. Finally, the tables’ findings revealed that the obtained solutions are closer to the real-world clinical data.
