Artificial neural networks for stability analysis and simulation of delayed rabies spread models by Ramsha Shafqat, Ateq Alsaadi

“…This study addressed the complexity of rabies spread by integrating two critical delay effects—vaccination efficacy and incubation duration—into a delay differential equations model, capturing more realistic infection patterns between dogs and humans. To explore the multifaceted drivers of transmission, we applied a novel framework using piecewise derivatives that incorporated singular and non-singular kernels, allowing for nuanced insights into crossover dynamics. …”
